A guy who works for me took delivery of his Model 3 last week, and he gave me a ride on Friday. I’d still prefer a tan interior, but I can live with the black for a few years.
Cool! Interesting point about the tax credit expiring in December. I've now seen enough Model 3s on the road to the point that the design has grown on me. One sticking point (no pun), I have has to do with the so-called "vegan leather" on the seats. From what I can tell, it's similar to BMW's sensatec, MB TEx, VW's leatherette, etc. I find that type of plastic-based upholstery to get hot/sweaty on long trips even when it's not that hot. Is it, in fact, the same stuff that these other manufacturer's use? Curious if you've tried it out.
