Nice but still not what I need. I need a long range electric car whose interior I won't be afraid to damage from time to time. I need something that moves me, my family and my stuff (skis, bikes, windsurf + sails, mountaineering gears, etc..) to where I need to be, not something for showing-off and asserting status.
The large screen in the middle of the car is a non complete non-starter - lots of the stuff I carry in my car are going to poke nice holes in it: what a joke.
Tesla (or anyone else), please build a cheap, high-impact plastic, no-large-screen interior car with front and rear seats I can fold for lots of room and I'll buy them for the rest of my life.
What I want is a long-range electric 4x4 Renault Kangoo that is not a utility vehicle. I'm sure it can be built.
I'm not exactly implying that buying a car to show off and assert status is reprehensible. Have I touched a nerve?
Anyways - I'm just saying that I hope EV manufacturer move up (or down) the immaculate luxurious interiors trip sooner rather than later so that some of us can buy and start using EVs without having to constantly worry about ruining a design project we're probably not worthy of.
Ah - well, Tesla found a way to make EV sexy and I'm sure they have very ambitious goals. I'm just hoping that what's next steps down a bit from the luxurious (at least to me) interior and focuses on cargo space that can be used without bringing in tears ;-)
I'm fortunate enough (no pun) to be willing to spend money on an EV and I just don't find what I want. I understand Tesla had to produce vehicles like these to make people realize EVs actually were usable cars (usability predicated on luxurious interiors and sporty performances - which I don't care about.)
