Tesla really needs to earn the title of luxury.

The S-model really does have one of the worst interiors I've seen on a brand new car at any price. They really need to hire someone from Land Rover or Mercedes to understand what luxury actually looks like. They can't use the cheap plastics and leather and expect people to look at it as a luxury car. It's a shame when the exterior is so well designed.

I agree. I've been in a Model S and it had a considerably worse interior than my 10-year-old 3 series. But I imagine they'll improve.

You've made this complaint repeatedly in HN threads, but it doesn't seem that many reviewers or Tesla customers agree with you.

Many reviewers have shared the same sentiment actually.. One such example from Ars where they seem satisfied with the newer interior but repeatedly reference how bad the original Model S interior was;

Huh. Given that the only thing that's changed in the interior is new seat options, one wonders why they changed their minds? I think I'll stick with the opinion of buyers.
