I know this is minor , but I really love a styled interior dash ,all the knobs and functions and as silly as it may sound the beauty and flow Automotive designers put into making it such a artistic place to drive. I am having as hard a time with the blah interior of the Tesla as the bland exterior. I am hoping with so many more automobiles getting into the EV fray, we start see more automotive art instead of so many Buttugly Battery Autobots!

Agreed! And why do I need access to Netflix or whatever movie channel in my freaking car??? I'm driving. If the passengers need this, get your own screen...or stay at home. Sorry.

I like it...
Yet, I'm one of those that likes resting my right hand on top of the steering wheel while cruising down the highway.

It's illegal to have a TV screen forward of the front seat occupants in Ontario. So kind of wondering where this is going to shake out given that it no doubt has the ability to connect to the web. And if you can connect to the web you sure can watch TV.

I appreciate Tesla's Spaceballs references.

Sounds like the "driver" watching TV will be an improvement:

I'm surprised he could sit in the seat with the size of his....
