Nice observations, Lord. I agree. I was very skeptical about that panel with the emergency blinker, the whole panel flexed so much when he pressed it. I guess the tactile button budget is close to 0 nowadays…
Profusely annoying that climate control is on screen instead of getting its own row, bmw climate control has always been so good. Don’t think I’m missing any other buttons though. Lights, steering wheel buttons, volume, drive modes and anti spin is all there!
I wouldn’t worry about acoustic glass. I am certain it’s been tested and options giving the best nvh reduction within budget has been picked.
the ambient light looks REALLY good, it lifts the whole cabin several notches, especially in the back.
Seats being stiff doesn’t surprise me, as discussed in other threads the leather is inexpensive and coated in a plastic layer. Super durable, but doesn’t make you feel like a king on his throne. Support should be top notch though, and they look good.
The cup holder cover, hmm, many cars have that kind of design and it usually is more durable than you think. I think it’s secondary to make the cabin more clean and primarily that manufacturers love to force you to put away your phone while driving. The cheap bastards could have made two wireless chargers though. Maybe it has something to do with the CarPlay stuff, which Tesla doesn’t have. Good cup holder placement.
The cars screen is huge and external. This makes me think, should I skip the leather trimmed dash? You can barely even see it from the driving position. Unlike the older cars that has beautifully curved dashboards with integrated screens. I really hope that trend comes back and screens get smaller and more functional again.
