Two interesting comments from a Tesla sales rep when I dropped by with my family today:
1) He claimed the lack of cup holders in the back seat are related to the challenges of getting 5 star crash ratings in all categories because they can become projectiles. It wasn't until I left that it occurred to me to wonder if he means the holders themselves or the contents. But this one seems pretty fishy to me. In our Highlander (Hybrid of course) the holders in the doors are well integrated into the door, so no way the holders at least could become projectiles. It's also hard to imagine the contents coming flying out but I suppose it's possible.
2) His other comment was about the 21" wheels effect on mileage... I posted the details in the appropriate thread here so as to avoid brining down the off-topic wrath of the mods. :wink:
Update 1: Removed comment about there now being a shade for the pano roof since by searching I see this was known before... I just somehow missed that news.
