    Isn’t the interior already cheap as shit? Anyways, everyone I know who wanted a Tesla wouldn’t even take one for free now, due to Musk’s enormous mouth and ego.

      If someone gave me a free Tesla I would accept it.

      I would immediately sell it and use the money as a down payment on a different vehicle entirely, but I would take a free Tesla.

    Too late, nobody wants one anymore. A cheaper interior probably means cheaper construction overall. And they already fall apart as is.

    The interiors are already cheap as hell. Ever gone for a long car ride in those seats? Driver seat is agony.

      Needs real buttons. Giant screen looks futuristic, but when the driver needs to navigate an on screen menu, that’s too much time with your focus off the road.

        Chevy really nails car interiors. They have knobs and buttons for anything you’d want to mess with while driving, and then have a touch screen for stuff like GPS.

          Ford has also been going back to buttons. It’s more expensive, but it’s far better for safety.

          I have a Subaru crosstrek and it almost has that sweet spot for me. Front and rear defroster, temp up and dow, volume, and hazards are physical buttons, I just wish fan speed wasn’t on the screen but it stays put and never goes away and usually I leave it on auto so there’s that

          All the sensors stuff and advanced settings are tucked away in the screen and I don’t really need those when I’m driving so I’m fine with that being in a screen

          Chevy really missed the mark with their infotainment center though. Sure it’s got a handful of buttons, but there’s too many issues with it in my opinion.

          I drive a 2020 Malibu and I wish I could change the radio out for something that’s a little more tactile but there’s nothing that really ticks all of the boxes and has the vehicle canbus integration to control the climate and alarm systems

            Maybe they’ve gone downhill, or maybe some of their vehicles aren’t as good as others. My Colorado is perfect. I was sitting in a 2023 Camaro last year, and it seemed pretty solid too.
