2014 Tesla Model S Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The front seats in the Tesla Model S are reasonably comfortable, but don't look or feel especially luxurious and provide little lateral support in turns. At least in the Performance model the side bolsters should be larger and/or adjustable. The seats in the A7 similarly need more aggressive bolsters. The seats in the S7 have them. see full Tesla Model S review
