I don’t feel luxurious in my i4, if anything I feel they try to be but in the end the fail on it. Tesla is also on the same boat

I did not get to really notice fit and finish but I do not see the hate this car gets.
I think a lot of it has to do with the customization you choose on your M50 build, which the Tesla offers very little. What color and material choices did you make on the interior of your M50? HUD? I mean, with the carbon fiber trim, laser lights, HK, ambient lighting, cognac, etc, I don't feel my brothers 2023 feels premium at all in comparison. Just kind of sterile and Camry common. I was driving through SFV the other week and counted 5 Teslas in front of me. One in every lane...that definitely is not a very premium part of Tesla ownership. Also, key thing is you said you "Sat inside a Model 3". If you rode in one you would immediately notice the M50 is much quieter, and has a smoother, more premium ride over less than smooth pavement. All part of the luxury quotient.
