That black finish is seriously the worst design decision in the history of the company.
Tesla is doing a lot better than the shorts.If that is a true statement, I would say Tesla is doing pretty well.
I find it humorous that none of these auto journalists realize how goofy they sound when complaining about the touchscreen interface. Literally "I can't get used to this new interface because I immediately go back to driving 50 cars with outdated interfaces" EVERY SINGLE REVIEW. Although at least one reviewer was starting to catch on by noticing how crowded his Buick interface is. I really feel like all of these "journalists" ok, I'll call them "bloggers" would still be using blackberries if they could. BRO, NEED A REAL KEYBOARD!!! MOAR PROFESSIONAL.
I still want it to have a simple, effective HUD.funny how we don't really see threads from Model 3 owners complaining about touchscreen UX. It was very common when no one had a 3. Very common from people who only get to sit in the car once to review it.
No threads here from owners declaring, "yep, damn this thing needs a HUD bad."
D'oh! At least the front motor is from the S.

Oh I'm sure there are still anecdotal pockets of people wanting HUDs. My point is that without real use, people assumed the design was seriously flawed. People canceled reservations in fear that the screen would be too hard to use or distracting. The boards lately show that it was all a non-issue. There are probably more new threads about panel gaps than no binnacle or touchscreen distraction. Actually, haven't seen panel gap gripes in a while either.
When I offer friends to test drive, I make sure to have them go thru all the settings so they don't feel like trying to explore all the settings while driving. Because the reality is that most settings are set-it-and-forget-it. They experience what parts of the car are configurable when they are in Park. Then when they drive, they realize how little they really NEED to touch the screen.
For me personally, the only time I touch the screen is to pull up the trip/efficiency card. And even that is now a single swipe that I can do without looking. I rarely even look at my speed (that could be because of the types of roads here in New England, where your speed is naturally limited to windiness). But the glance-right is not some sort of horrible ergonomic stretch for the brain. Like someone else pointed out, people have been looking way further to use the rear view mirror. And likely looking thru that mirror way longer than the screen.

More than that, even. The speedo glance keeps the road in peripheral view far more than looking through the steering wheel. Horizontal focus change, keeping track of things side to side, is actually supposed to be happening very regularly. The stuff straight ahead isn't actually the biggest concern because we can see it coming from longer off, things coming perpendicular to the path of travel is the thing that tends to have a lot smaller window of opportunity to catch.But the glance-right is not some sort of horrible ergonomic stretch for the brain.
