No air conditioning for the passenger or a glove box? Has this been confirmed?
I suspect they are trying to exaggerate not having a dual zone climate system. So sure there's cool air in the interior for all 5 seats, but not a separate zone for the front seat passenger.
He literally said "no vent on the right". But maybe he was exaggerating.
"It has no luxury features."
That sounds very much like a Model S ...
Go look at the interior options and features (and materials and fit+finish) of any mid-range luxury car (5series, E-Class, A6) and the Model S comes nowhere near in terms of luxuries and amenities and functions. Never mind the actual high end cars that the Model S is supposedly competing with (7Series, S-Class, A8).
They play it off as a very modern, minimal aesthetic but they're not fooling anyone - the interior is sparse and cheap and poorly executed.
The model X too. I drove one for a day and it felt like a $25,000 car inside, not $125,000.

Unbelievable. Like, I literally don't believe it.
What's unbelievable? I was in the market for a Mini Countryman and the Mini rep was pushing me away from it and warning me that it was underpowered. I could see people having a certain expectation of Minis being zippy cars. It's not ideal, but better than selling someone a car they don't want.
Or is it unbelievable that salespeople tell the truth when they aren't on commission? :)
You don't believe me or the sales person?
Which location was this?
Nice try, Elon
It almost made me want to pull my Model 3 reservation.
