Lack of a Heads Up Display (HUD)

[RVDowning]

I had my heart set on buying a Tesla until I found out that there was no HUD. After using a rental a couple of years ago I decided that a HUD would be a requirement for any future vehicle I purchased. It is truly disappointing. I guess I'll have to settle for a Lincoln.

Musk's stance on having a HUD option in his vehicles reminds me of Steve Job's refusal to add a second mouse button. It seems it doesn't matter what the public wants.

Confused. You say the Lincoln has a hud? I wonder if I am thinking the same thing you are.

I think all the Lincolns have a Heads Up Display, but on some of them it may be an optional feature. I know that the Lincoln Navigator's Heads Up Display was considered the best in class.

Why would you need a HUD in a car with FSD? What we need is an espresso machine.

If and when there is a non-beta FSD that actually works and doesn't require a driver with hands on the wheel and paying attention I would probably agree. But until that day comes a HUD is quite convenient.

HUD is convenient (I have it on my X6M), but I would never consider it a deal-breaker from buying a Tesla!

There are so many other benefits to going EV/Tesla, it greatly overwhelms any desire to demand a HUD.

It could be years, or never, until Tesla puts in a HUD. I can't imagine foregoing driving a Tesla for several years just for that.

yes, that's me. I would probably turn it off if I had it. Maybe I am old school, but once upon a time I did have a jet with a hud. More important in that.

I guess it is good that I've had to rethink this. After reviewing the horrific maintenance issues, and realizing that with increased sales the issue is only going to get worse, I've decided to get something else. Maybe Tesla will have these issues sorted in a few more years.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
