That is impressive. I would definitely pay extra for a HUD like that.In this post, ikjadoon posted a link to TI's DLP-based HUD projector. It specifically says it works with polarized glasses (how, I'm not sure)
There's a pretty cool demo video on the TI page, but it won't embed here.
I've been following this thread closely as there must be a speed/indicator display of some sort in front of the driver, be it a small IP cluster, HUD, or in-steering wheel display.
Why? There are currently cars on the road that don't have this.
@MP3Mike So, I have a follow up question regarding the HUD. Is is safe to assume that you will not be able to see it if you are wearing polarized glasses?

Super common question. Let's answer it:
Why?
1. Ask any Model S owner if their 17" display has ever lagged, frozen, or required a restart. If the 3 only has one screen, then information like speedometer readings, charge status, electrical malfunctions, turn signal status, gear/drive indicator, etc. are all tied to this one screen. 2. Night time driving:
No other car today puts literally all car information into a single LCD display.
The DLP Hud system, is nice but it is also what's (almost) already in use in aviation. Either military or civil planes cockpits have all that already (link to a 360 view of A380 cockpit).
I am not convinced.
No other car has redundancy in warning lights and indicator. Why should Model 3 need one?
What makes you think the information will be redundant? A lot of the stuff on the upper left corner of the prototype looked like they were just slapped on top of the map. If they put them in a HUD (or whatever else), they won't keep it obscuring the map on the touchscreen. That would just be silly.
Think about it - Tesla is all about surpassing expectations. They don't want to make the best electric car for 35k, they want to make the best car. A car that only has a central display will not be the "best car" in most people's eyes.
I think it's got to be a HUD. But not just any HUD - I think the projector will be not be a single device in front of the driver, but instead will be a strip of LEDs stretching right across the dashboard. That way any image can be clearly projected onto any point in your vision.
I have faith, it will be something great!
