Honestly I had a change to sit in one recently and found the interior materials, seats, etc. to be pretty bad for the price.

The big digital displays were nice, but the rest of the interior seemed about on par for a Honda Fit or Chevy Sonic type vehicle, and significantly worse than something like a 2017 CRV (my daily driver).

It felt like a sub $20k car with electric guts and some (admittedly nice) tech gadgets added on. It's also weird that there is no adaptive cruise control available, a feature that's present now on some cars that are $10k cheaper.

To be fair haven't seen what the interior of a $35k Model 3 looks like either, all of the photos and units that have shipped have had the more expensive 'Premium' interior option.

I have heard that most Teslas feel pretty cheap on the inside once you get over the honeymoon period.

From my limited experience, the Model S has about the same interior quality as a $40k car (entry-level luxury or well-optioned standard). There's definitely a large price premium for choosing electric.
