Since there is all that extra room... The 80s called, can we please have bench-seats back?

I had an old crown vic a few years ago and I missed those huge sofa-like bench-seats all the time. Modern bucket seats in comparison are incredibly constructing and claustrophobic. Not every car needs to feel like a racecar. Sometimes I want a comfy roadtrip on my floating sofa.

This is what I miss about my Oldsmobile Cutlass. I could comfortably sit 2 passengers (+ driver) in the front - there was even an extra seat belt in the middle. Besides being great for taking naps, the bench-seats also allowed your date to snuggle up to you on those long romantic drives :)

How would current generation airbags come into play with bench seats? A lot of manufactures include side airbags right into the seat bolsters.

I suspect the rising popularity of dual airbags helped the demise of the middle front seat.

Here's Tesla's (obviously much more expensive and with less DIY cred) center console concept: http://shop.teslamotors.com/collections/model-s/products/pre... .

"This is a self-printable Tesla Model S Center Console."

It can print out ITSELF???

Depends on whether the language assigns this==self. ;)

Tesla removed the console and now users want it back. Was this a bad design choice on Tesla's part?

Tesla has a fancy console on the way as an add-on item. Personally, I'm OK without it -- the interior is super roomy, and lack of a console adds to that feeling.

It is a great place to drop my bag / backpack.

I would recommend epoxy instead of superglue.
