Tesla notoriously doesn’t offer many, if any, interior options other than a black or white interior.

That’s why many were surprised to be presented with a new Model 3 interior if they chose the Model 3 Standard Range Rear-Wheel-Drive in the configurator in Mexico today.

When ordering this trim, which is the cheapest option, they don’t have an interior option between black and white anymore. Instead, they are presented with a new interior with textile seats rather than vegan leather:

    Theyll save even more money by not even trying to fit panels correctly.

    This will be an absolute pile

    Too little too late.

    It’s already on fire, my countdown clock started when he petulantly fired the charging network team.

    Just a matter of time and the vultures to descend.

      The firing of that team was such a massive mistake. The company was positioned to own the charging market for all evs.

        Yep. I haven’t decided if he intended to destroy the company intentionally or just because he’s an idiot, but it’s going down either way.

    I always chuckle at westerners automatically conflating “more expensive” with “better.” Leather seats are the worse option 90% of the time but because they cost more, they’re always thrown into the premium trims

    Imagine already having a cheap, chintzy interior and thinking to yourself, “I bet we can screw our customers over even worse”. Wow.
