Tegra processors that Tesla uses, are great at very fast calculations, but are terrible at handling large complex images in memory.
This is why you see the round 6.2 speedo is so responsive, while the maps are jerky. Even the navigon map on the left is jerky, and thats a really small bitmap.
From what it looks like, Tesla has gone to great lengths to eliminate bitmaps, and replace them with vector graphics.
If that makes the display near real time reactive, and extremely dynamic, I think thats a big win.
Think of it this way, using a mouse on a computer feels very natural. But even a 10ms delay (typical to high latency remote sessions), say on citrix or rdp etc. causes the user to press the keys much more deliberately and firmly. Studies have shown that even a 10ms delay can increase muscle fatigue in your fingers by 400%. Not to mention the additional processing your brain has to account for. This is why speech recognition is far away from replacing a keyboard and mouse, since there is the 'computer think time' involved. It is the difference between 'moving the mouse' versus 'asking the computer to move the mouse for you'.
We should not underestimate the importance of a very dynamic and responsive UI.
And these static pictures do not convey that at all - so - for that reason alone we should probably reserve our judgement and trust Tesla to do the right thing.
