> wooden panels, leather seats and all the bling bling
every high end german car interior is completely customizable. all that wood can be replaced with plastic, or carbon fiber. all the leather can be replaced with alcantera. all the bling bling can be replaced with lightweight alternatives, or just omitted entirely from the build. you can literally change the seatbelt colors on a porsche, or the color of the stitching in the leather.
you wouldn't know this, because you probably never actually shopped for one, you decided on tesla because you like the fact that it's electric and are a fan of the company. there's nothing wrong with this, that's how many buyers of porsche, audi, etc, operate -- but it shows that you aren't really the target market for the german stuff.
