Center arm rest

For those of you who complained about the car not having an arm rest before anyone even took delivery I don't think it's an issue whatsoever. You sit pretty low in the car so I have been resting my arm on the center right next to the e-brake without any issues and find it quite comfortable. I think an arm rest would just get in the way.

I agree. I have taken a few longer trips in the car so far (45mins to 1hr), and have not found myself wanting for one.

During my test drive I noticed that my elbows were well above both the door armrest and the center console. Even with the seat all the way down. Poop. I hate that on long drives.

Also agree. I find myself comfy with my arm resting near the ebrake.

I agree, I'm 5'11'' and my arm rests perfectly on the ebrake lever. I would like to see a slide cover like the s2k has.
