How long did it take you get used to no dash screen?

I love the small steering wheel made possible by the lack of a traditional cluster.

Agreed. This steering wheel feels "just right" in terms of the smaller diameter and the thickness for grabbing onto. I like holding onto it, but it's ironic that holding onto it with both hands causes me to get notifications from EAP, whereas with just one hand I get far fewer nags - but I want to hold it with both hands!

Need steering wheel option like the new roadster will have.

So far in the poll, 4 people picked it up naturally on day 1 and one person took a few weeks.

My feeling is that Tesla Model 3 owners are all naturally good drivers and are quick to adapt.

I think more like we're all nerds and completely at home with computer controlled anything.

They are already on the left thumbwheel on the steering wheel. Push the whole wheel left/right.

The steering wheel left/right switches through presets, it doesn't seek or switch between HD subchannels.

I happened to pass by Roadster interior. Found something interesting... (although many of you guys probably knew already).

I used to believe that Roadster 2020 was going to get a dash screen on the steering wheel based on the angle they took picture on Tesla homepage.

And it turns out to be none like Model 3.

Conclusion: the Model 3 design is leading the new interior design paradigm. We should expect the similar for Model Y.

Do you guys think this be new fad to other automakers? Ever since Tesla Model S came out, it seems like many automakers are making their touchscreen larger. We shall see.

That's my dream car. You get so much for $200k.

OP here.

It was a weird transition from S and X dash screen but it took less than an hour to get used to it.

I was a huge skeptic on no dash screen.

Now, I enjoy it more than my other vehicles!

Only gripe is no split screen for rear view camera and navigation. I hope Tesla brings it someday.

I was nervous at first but I got it almost instantly. All I need to see is speedometer really and it is always in the corner of my eye. At first I still wanted a HUD but now I realize that I see it in my peripheral at all times as it is. I would still like the ability to adjust font size in some places. I see the speed fine but I would like it a little larger just for easier peripheral reading.

About two seconds. Maybe three. Love it!

Before getting my car, I was somewhat concerned about the lack of physical controls and the center touch screen. They ended up being among the biggest non-issues with the Model 3.

I got used to the speedometer location within 5 minutes. I clearly remember seeing that it was in the different place at the first stoplight that I reached, and then I never noticed again.

The touch controls are mostly a non-issue too. Turns out when I drove my Honda, I fiddled with my dash-mounted iPhone anyway for navigation and music, and now I can do the same with the Model 3 but with a larger screen so it's easier. The phone was mounted in the center in my Honda, so I was already used to looking slightly to the right. I do sometimes wish that the air vent controls had physical buttons, however.

What took longer to adjust to was the decreased visibility compared to my Honda Fit. The rear window is uncomfortably small, and feels half the size it should be. Even now I'm not entirely comfortable with it, since I like to be aware of all cars surrounding me.
