Yes, they should be standard
Yes, they should be a no-cost option
Yes, they should be a for-cost option
No, they should not be an option

Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from a rigged demonstration.

He's kind of like a smooth Monty Python sketch on that.
It's our design.
No, it's our design and and the difficulty in matching colors.
No, it's our design and and the difficulty in matching colors and the low quantities.
No, it's our design and the difficulty in matching colors and the low quantities and the complexity of managing all the parts.
No, it's our design and the difficulty in matching colors and the low quantities and the complexity of managing all the parts, and especially the cost.
So, my take is that it's cost.
My fx has rear leather pockets and I never knew til I saw this thread and checked.
P427 Performance White/Tan
I think the S should have a fold down tray that bangs you in the knees and you can put ****** microwaved food on it
or nothing
I think i have only seen plastic bags, reusable fabric bags, tampons, maps and wadded up paper towels in the back of the LS
Less = more
really
I would much rather have a pocket on the back seat than an enclosed console.
Since posting pictures earlier on this thread of the back-of-front-seat storage pockets in Model S' main competitors, I've continued checking out similar photos on the Internet of other premium and luxury sedans. Except for Model S I have yet to uncover a single premium or luxury sedan without back-of-front-seat storage pockets. Even Rolls Royce and Bentley have them. This amazes me.
I had no idea these things were so popular and universal. After this additional research it seems to me that to be as competitive and appealing as possible Tesla would wish to offer back-of-front-seat storage pockets at least as an option when they are able to allocate the resources to do so, particularly since these pockets can be added on and integrated so easily and inexpensively to the car-as-it-is.

BMW 3 series doesn't have them... The seat backs are black plastic like the Model S.
Performance 85kWh, custom 19" Forgestar c5fv wheels, white ext, black/CF int, panoramic roof, tech, sound, twin chargers.
mnx, Here is a photo of the rear of the new 2013 BMW series 3 which shows that it comes with back-of-front-seat pockets. The backs of the seats are indeed plastic as are those of many other premium sedans but those plastic seat backs have pockets attached, tight mesh with reinforced top.
ahh, haven't been in a 2013 yet... the previous generation doesn't have it.
those pockets are both ugly and appear useless...

Everyone of course has their own eye for what is attractive. This design, however, is quite useful if you think about it. The indentations in the plastic seat backs on the sides of the pockets allow for beverage containers to fit nicely as well as provide recessed storage areas.
