My cars instrument panel tells me who is calling without having to put my phone on it, and worrying about it sliding around or falling off. Heck I don't even have to take my phone out of my pocket or computer bag to see who is calling me

400k reservations is a drop in the bucket compared to ICE sales If Elon wants to move EV's out of a niche role like he says he does his definition of Best needs to line up with the majority of ICE drivers, his thought of a compelling car needs to line up with the majority of ICE drivers. Decisions like the ones above don't mesh with what a typical ICE driver is looking for. It's not compelling them to switch over. How do I know? Because last year 400k people signed up for a model 3, while over 80 million bought an ICE car instead.

Just look how close that center screen is to the steering wheel. You don't even have to look away from the road to see the speed.

That's not a selling point for me. It's the opposite in fact. I don't want screens in my face 24 hours a day. Why assume that just because consumers want electric cars that they must want maximum technology in every circumstance?
The entire Model X dash was drastically changed to accommodate the production version w/ integrated display. Actually everything about the production interior looks different. Is that really going to happen with the 3?
Well, he also said: “And then the second row on the Model X… is a sculptural beauty. They’re amazing. They are the nicest second row seats you’ve ever seen in any car ever."
While I'm not saying, it won't be an issue to anyone if Elon is not being coy, and what we've seen so far is what we will see as far as display of info for the driver, let's not make the logical misstep of saying Yaris and Echo center display too = Tesla interior same quality, same amount of info available to driver as Yaris and Echo (fwiw, I didn't find any Minis that did not have some instrument display in front of the steering wheel)
witness,
Yaris interior
Echo interior,
Model 3 prototype interior,
looking at that screen, won't Tesla likely have more info available to the driver than most cars (see 3 series photo below). maybe most consumers really do want something directly in front of the driver. if that's the case, Tesla will be the first to know, and it will be far more easy to fix than adding different 2nd row configurations to the X was (they got a lot of unhappy feedback re 2nd row and got that (much more complex redesign than adding an HUD ) addressed in about a year).
fwiw, I rented a BMW 3 series last fall. I liked the car a lot... but the screen that's in the center and sticks up... I was surprised to find it was not some cheap add on from the rental company. To me, it looks considerably more clunky and out of place than the Tesla screen. Otherwise I really liked that 3 series interior, and I don't expect the Model 3's to be as nice, but overall I'm confident I'll prefer the Model 3 to the 3 series.

After driving my X for only about 4 months, I think that BMW interior looks absolutely archaic and silly.

The production Model X pretty much used the Model S dash "as is" -- that was far more cost effective than what was seen in the Model X prototype/alpha.
