Heads up display

[swilli98]

Has there been any discussion of having a heads up display. Seem like to large dash and a giant windshield that a heads up display would be great.

See Model 3 HUD discussions from 2016. Pretty much the same discussion will take place here.

"No way I'll buy it without!" (But they still bought one)
"No need for it.. Musk is visionary in his minimalism!"
"But I have to look waaaaaay over there!"
"The (name random car) has been doing this for a decade!"

You're welcome. I saved you 462 pages of discussion to read through.

Not needed. You get used to it and appreciate the design quickly. Otherwise phone with BT adapter connected to car is best choice. The HUD style aftermarket stuff is kind of poor quality and design.

The older I get the worse my eyesight. Is there an option to increase the size of text?

Nope. You’ll have to wear bifocals, even if the upper half has no prescription or using those half reading glasses that you can see over while driving.

My preferred choice, at least at night.

For sunglasses you’ll want prescription bifocals but I’d get the ones with lines. Other people can’t see it on sunglasses and I hate progressives.

I wear progressives and I wish HUD would be available. I liked it in cars I had it on. As an alternative speed value could be displayed in larger numbers like on XC90. Not ideal but do-able.

I believe HUD has value for some buyers but not a lot of them. With the Tesla model of having standard hardware in all cars, and turning on features via software, it may not make money sense to install the hardware for only a few buyers. However, I'd buy if it was a factory option on the Cybertruck.

I have an aftermarket HUD in both my Jeep and in my Model 3.

I use it all the time in the Jeep and love it. The factory speedo's font is too small and it takes several seconds for my eyes to read the speed vs. a bit faster on the HUD.

I very seldom use it in my Model 3. I find I usually use AP for the majority of my daily drive. Looking at the factory centre screen is more convenient while I scan my surroundings vs. looking and focusing dead ahead. But I keep the HUD installed for when I want to push the car and really drive. It's easier to read my speeds when I can't take my eyes away from the road.
