I totally agree! I have had trucks for 20+ years- all with 3 seats up front. I cannot buy a 5 seater. I want the extra room in driver's seat allowed by eliminating the console! I have 2 trucks reserved and will cancel both unless we can opt for 3 front seats.
The 6 seater gives more room to the driver. The optional 3rd person in front is invaluable. It's even "greener" Elon. But the most important issue to me is the room in the cockpit and a console does not provide this. "KEEP" the 6 seater!!
