Bring Back The Green Mileage Icon - Please!

[Missile Toad]

its one of the few sensible updates. you will get used to it. there is no reason for it to be green.

I think they are just getting ready to make it the same color as what you are wearing. Think about it:

1. Car has a camera that points inwards;
2. Display has color capability;
3. The car is loaded with AI;
4. Its the Elon way.

So, if you are wearing orange -- battery is orange. If you are wearing plaid, the battery is plaid. That way, Elon can sell color-synchronized interior lighting as well -- via a subscription.

Just don't wear red. I've seen too many Star Trek episodes. We all know what happens then.

The idea that a green bar is more distracting than a grey one is ridiculous and without merit.

In the future, I would suggest avoid spouting off stuff without a basis of fact or science to back it up.

i would suggest you avoid spouting off stuff here.

I cant even believe this warrants a discussion. If you have a huge screen full of very dark pixels and put a grey pixel in there you are probably not even gonna notice it. if you put a yellow, green, blue etc whatever pixel in there its gonna stand out like sore thumb. Like... that doesnt need any research.

But to aid you in going back into your troll cave you can read this:

Your assumption that the screen is important is dubious in its own right. As while you are driving your main focus should be on the road. Not a screen.

Visual representations of what a computer thinks it sees runnig beta software has to be way down on the “important” list...

which is exactly why the battery icon being grey is a better design choice.

by your logic everything should be grey...

I believe the autopilot visualization is 2 things: 1) meant to inspire confidence great the car does know what it is doing, and 2) warmup for heads up enhanced reality windshield display that will eventually be coming.

the iPhone battery is black...

That's reason enough to make it green again

The green feels better.

I agree. My hair turned grey and I don't see it as an update. I want it green again.
