We’re still so pleased about the interior changes for 2025 that they’re worth mentioning again. Tesla has upgraded interior materials and added amenities including ventilated seats, which are also more comfortable thanks to a new ergonomic shape.

Overall, the cabin feels nicer, more polished, more expensive, and upscale. We do still hear the occasional squeak and noise, so perhaps all build-quality issues have yet to be addressed.

Cabin comfort and serenity now feel blissful compared to the 2024 models. Upgraded sound-dampening materials have helped, as has incorporating a smaller wheel and tire package to reduce noise that might otherwise yuck your in-car yum.

When it comes to cargo space both in back and up front that’s the same — 76 cubic feet total — but up front we’re working with some innovation. There are storage solutions, and in the frunk Tesla includes a drain plug so it becomes a usable ice chest.

If you dig a light show, ambient lighting can jazz up your space depending on your mood. Crank up the music with the additional speakers on the audio system and you’ve got yourself a party.
