You can upgrade the leather to buttery smooth kind in many BMWs, with Tesla you are stuck with the awful everything. Again, its fine for the 3/Y, but they are losing potential S/X sales to other brands.
I seriously doubt Tesla has to worry about lost sales because of leather. The fact that BMW is fine offering something as low-grade as Dakota leather in a $90K 7 Series means that there's enough of a take rate to justify it.
This is the inspiration for all the EV interiors - 2005 Prius except I think its better executed than most of the new EV cars especially Tesla.
Except that it is not true. By any means.
I had 2005 Prius and I have 2021 Tesla Model 3.
They have nothing in common, well maybe that they are different than rest of the market? But Model 3 has nice quality interior, very nice for its class.

Did you get the Performance? Also, the newer Model 3s have a nicer interior than the prior version. The seats are similar but i think the center console is a big step up.
LOL - the material quality and leather used are much different on the higher spec 7series compared to a standard 3series. We are not just speaking about dash layout but quality, fit/finish, customization etc.
Tesla offer 2 interior colors and no leather options even.
I’ve seen a Model 3P near me with red seats, is that not an option?
In the Plaid thread you brought up Ford, Zhiji, Porsche, Honda, Lexus, Lucid, GM......and that's just off the top of my head.
Thanks for the stalking 'monitoring' input bringing up other brands or models isn't an issue in threads usually but when the majority of recent posts become not about the thread topic, then suggesting a course correction seems appropriate. Plus a bmw 7 series has really nothing in common with a tesla model Y!

This is off topic to you.

But this post is perfectly fine, not trolling at all. Adds so much to the discussion.

Tesla uses "vegan leather", aka Naugahide aka plastic. It is very comfortable. The Tesla theme is sustainability.
They are not trying to be like other cars.
And every other manufacturer is trying to sound like them; trying to be like them.

You've fallen for the cult. Hard. I see other manufacturers doing more interesting and higher quality interiors. I see them adapting their existing platforms successfully (F-150 Lightning vs bizarre Cybertruck). I see them making EVs that are more mass market (ID.4, Mach-E, Ioniq) and less focused on gimmicks.
Tesla is awesome for what it's brought to the market and its disruption. But i don't agree, at all, that 'every other manufacturer is trying to sound like them; trying to be like them'.
I was in a nearby city yesterday and in this nice shopping center there was a row of tesla charging stations, most occupied with teslas, all charging. No one in them. I wonder how long they had to wait. I re-fueled my car in 5 minutes for another 400mi.

What a silly observation. What if they were there just topping their car off while they shop? I've never actually had to pay for that electricity as I have free Supercharging with referrals like most of the other people i know. Its just as silly as pointing out that you've spent way more time refueling your car overall than me charging my car overnight. Takes me 10 seconds to plug and unplug once every 3 days...so my total refuel effort is 20 minutes a year (with 0 zero cost).
