    Seeking UK Model X owner

    Ompapa, I'm in Stanstead , 30ish miles away from Baldock, I have a Red Model x 100D, only 4.7s 0-60 I'm afraid :) What schedule were you thinking, time ? date etc? what would interest your dad more a ride or a look under the bonnet? Could take a trip to a show room to see the skateboard, as long...

    Sydney to Melbourne via Tesla Superchargers, how long?

    When using these trip planners be sure to review the route closely. Using ABRP i've seen it take a 40km detour to get to a super charger on a north carriage way which is at the same service as the south carriage way and easily accessible. I've let the author know about this and another similar...

    Question to those who chose the Midnight Silver Metallic color.

    whatever colour you choose go see it in the day light in the flesh. I was almost committed to the midnight silver, I too thought it was a stately finish, I thought the multi coat red to brash and bright. Until, that is, I saw it in the light of day, where with an even lighting it was more...

    Model 3 Dashboard... What are we looking at?

    Don't worry the Vegans or some other group will make Tesla get rid of it and replace it with some synthetic oil based garbage!

    Leather gone? All interior options vegan?

    Why do they call it leather if its not? Another reason NOT to buy a Tesla :(

    Did Tesla make a weirdmobile? Comparison 3 BMW 3 dash

    gregd, exactly, digital implies accuracy where there is an educated guess at best, i.e. range. The gas/petrol gauges in cars are imprecise but we manage, there is little range anxiety , we just fill up in time. In reality with most EV situations you wouldn't have to wake up one morning and...

    Did Tesla make a weirdmobile? Comparison 3 BMW 3 dash

    JeffK If the Model 3 had the Porsche mission e dash , I'd be camping out at the Tesla factory chomping at the bit :) P.S. they use OLEDS apparently!

    Did Tesla make a weirdmobile? Comparison 3 BMW 3 dash

    I'll nit pick as well, the the dash would be in your peripheral vision and you'll be glancing at periodically, thats why it has displays, especially in the Teslas.

    Did Tesla make a weirdmobile? Comparison 3 BMW 3 dash

    Well the dash is the thing in the front that you are facing 99% of the time so it is a big part of the "interior" to get right. Yeah your right I over estimated that "everybody" would want to buy a Tesla, its probably a lot smaller than that.

    Did Tesla make a weirdmobile? Comparison 3 BMW 3 dash

    As a Bass player I get calluses on my finger tips, like a lot of people who do manual work, and have problems with touch screens, I have to lick my fingers or try various fingers to get the response I want. Frustrating at 70mph :) jeffk, I'm sure these are only minor issues that Elon can work...

    Did Tesla make a weirdmobile? Comparison 3 BMW 3 dash

    You would have thought that Tesla would have moved on from this old tech LCD panel stuff, its been around for a while. The modern approach would have been to make the whole dash an OLED screen, probably blending into the windscreen :)

    Did Tesla make a weirdmobile? Comparison 3 BMW 3 dash

    I think the bigger mistake made here by Tesla is that it has reduced its possible market. It's a Marmite interior, you either like it or you don't, it could have been a none issue if they had made it more like the Model S/normal cars. Then the customer base would have been everybody! Goes...

    Did Tesla make a weirdmobile? Comparison 3 BMW 3 dash

    Sandpiper said "Now, there's no reason for a car dash to be any more or less than a computer. It's the Apple design ethic; simple, clean, minimalist. Don't add any complexity that you don't need." Just like ICE cars used to be, speed, temperature, energy gauge turn indicators, thats about...

    PC monitor on dash good design?

    Hi Does any body really think that slapping a PC monitor on a stalk is good design? Its an after thought to get a prototype running at best, very lazy design, probably not quite legal here either.

    Wheel & Tire Size Consideration

    Running costs must be quite high, my S-MAX has 18" rims each tire is at least £150, thats a major reason for me to reconsider.
