As the others pointed out, this mode does exist. It’s called Chill mode, and it is not “cryptic” or “hidden”. It is well documented in the owners manual, discussed all over the place online (including on tons of threads in this forum) and is very easy to find in the Controls app in the car.







All new models for the past couple of years (not just the “super expensive models”) come with the center console that has enough room to store all of the stuff you were taking about. It also has bigger (and adjustable) cup holders since I know you hate the armrest cupholders (understandably enough; they are in an awkward position for sure). This center console has enough room to easily store all of my items that I need on a day to day basis in the car (ID badge, glasses, lip chap, charger, house keys, etc).







Now you’re being a little overdramatic (starting to sound more like a rant). Yes I agree that not including the console in the earlier versions of the car maybe wasn’t the best decision. But there are a lot of things in life that are “tragic”...this isn’t one of them.



The thing is: you chose to buy this car knowing there was no center console. That isn’t something that you could have accidentally not noticed while buying it. And Tesla is providing you a paid upgrade that allows you to be happier with the storage situation in the car. I don’t think any other car manufacturer (even your great German ones) would give you any free upgrades to the car after purchase.







They’ve already done this in the past (people have paid to upgrade from 3G to LTE radios in the car).
