Those are almost 12" wide!
...and without traction management, they would still liquefy on demand.

Are you talking about the outside or inside?

The interior in the current model looks way more premium than the new version, the way the screen and dash is more integrated.

Outside of the Model S is a stunner...the proportions are really great. The Model 3 isn't ugly and looks nice but nowhere near the beauty of the S. Model 3 also has some awkward angles...at least it looks better than the new beaver-teeth BMWs

OK, I see....I agree the S exterior's looks great and you like you said, because of the proportion.
The 3 is frumpy looking to me because it looks like a pudgy model X

No, I m still referring to the X.
That was my first impression when I first saw the model 3.

The Y is just a taller 3 😁
