Right thread.

A Ferrari deserves better than an interior that looks like a 1970s bathroom.

Maybe I'm broken, but I wouldn't have a problem with the seats if the carpet and dash were something different. The different shades/finishes of green look like poo poo, but the seats by themselves aren't horrible.

That Ferrari is right thread because even if the exterior was green, that is just a terrible shade of green on that interior.

Right thread. I actually like the seats and dash, but the carpet looks like they skinned a muppet with a venereal disease.

Going to pull a Switzerland on this one with no comment on the interior but appreciate dare to be different.

I mean, look at it from the factory perspective. They were probably saying "Yeah, we can dye the seats and dash."

Then they threw up their hands with the carpeting and said gently caress it because they couldn't source nor dye the stuff properly.

This is all I can see. That interior is heinous. It never looked good off of the showroom floor. If you want yellow and green done right then get a Lotus/Caterham 7.

It is terrible car stuff.

Nobody said they have a problem with different than the usual colors. Green can be great.

That ferrari ain't.

e:
Looking at it again, while I don't particularly like the green of the dash/leather, it being offset with that horrid carpet makes it even worse than it need be.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

paying $4,400 for a "known issue"? does tesla not have a warranty?

e: oh this tesla was 5 years old. so this actually seems pretty on-par for "luxury" brands. if you aren't buying or leasing a new one every one to three years you aren't even on their radar as a customer lol

It stupid for sure, but for gently caress's sake, don't look at the comments. Most boomerish bluecheck "kids nowadays" bullshit. Yes, because *your* generation definitely never did anything stupid as a youth. Y'all just didn't have video cameras in your pocket at all times documenting your idiocy.

You could source and install a good, used rack from a wrecking yard but lol they'd brick your entire car for the audacity of pulling that move.

The hell? If it's similar to the Model Y rack, those connectors may as well be waterproof. I remember some that had double seals in the plugs, had to dig one of them out with a pick.

The harness isn't even made by Tesla, and the air dam should be covering all of it anyway..
