The Tesla cars have strange things in them too where it seems like they were designed by people who don't use the cars for work.

The prime example being the lack of coat hangers in the car. People who use their car for work often have to carry dry cleaning or uniforms or other hanging items in the car. They eventually made one you can buy as an add on, but it was strange that it didn't have them.

Also the whole tablets thing (also mentioned here). The cars have the same problem -- it's really hard to do anything by touch and they are always glowing at you. This sucks for everyone but especially people who use their car for work and most likely are trying to make a call or do other things they probably shouldn't be doing while driving.



My Model 3 has coat hanger hooks in it. Maybe only older or specific ones lack them?


My OG 2018 Model 3 and my 2022 X both have coat hangers and I use them daily, so my dress shirt doesn't get wrinkled by my seatbelt.


What the designers/engineers want (convenience, ease of use) is often sidelined in favor of making money (keeping mfg costs low, dealing with supply chain issues)


They do technically have coat hangers in back but they pop out.
