Part 5/12:
Holzen discusses the progression of Tesla's seating design since the Model S debuted in 2012. Over the years, there have been at least four seat revisions, each improving comfort, ride dynamics, and overall interior feel. He confirms that Tesla’s current seats are the best yet but highlights a continuous commitment to evolution.
He emphasizes that, as Tesla moves deeper into autonomous driving, seats will become even more critical. Unlike traditional vehicles, where the driver’s role is central, autonomous cars can serve as private lounges or workspaces rather than just transportation devices. This shift means the interior layout and seating arrangements will need to adapt radically to meet new needs and expectations.
