>They're loaded with useless/barely-functional interior electronics that are poor copies of Tesla

Man, Tesla apologists are rewriting reality now.

In no way shape or form is Tesla interior even remotely good.

The OP didn't actually imply that Tesla is good, just that Ford is worse.

I think you've been smelling too many of your car's ICE fumes there, mate. It's true that Tesla interiors aren't lined with old growth redwood trees that can never be replaced, and the seats don't use the finest baby seal leather like you'd find in a custom Bentley, but "even remotely good" is as ridiculous level of Elon hate as Teslafanboyism that thinks Elon Musk is the second coming (he's not). It's a car. The interior is fine. We can quibble if it's high end Honda-level fine or Benz level luxury, but it's not like the seats have an arm that stabs in you the chest at every stop light or something.

Sure its fine, but like a basic Toyota interior is quite a lot better than anything Tesla has. Its pretty obvious where they cut costs.

Strongly disagree. I find the materials in Teslas to be perfectly fine, and the aesthetic itself is basically unsurpassed, but I'm a big fan of minimalism and hate the 8 million buttons and dials some cars have, which I think is really just driving home (hah) that these are all subjective opinions and not of it is fact so we maybe shouldn't state it as such

Its not subjective that buttons are better for driver interface. Being able to change AC/Volume/whatever without having to look where you are pressing is a big convenience.

If Tesla had a good heads up display on the windshield that you can operate through steering wheel controls, then it would be another story.

Other then that, its also not subjective that materials that are used are sub par. Steering wheels start to peel WAY early.
