TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Tesla Model S
| 2012 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 | ||

My wife refers to it as a sofa on wheels, my daughter sprawls out in the cavernous back seat. I just love the way it drives. see full Mercedes-Benz S-Class review |
