Loving the Model 3 Center Screen

[StealthP3D]

When we took delivery of our first Model 3 in May I was a bit overwhelmed by all the menus. Now, after a few months, I don't need to use the menus much but, when I do, I know exactly where to go. It's all laid out so rationally and, shall I say, linearly. It did take a couple of months to "get it" but now I don't even have to think to adjust one of the menu settings.

I still prefer the layout of the Model S and X and would’ve preferred a HUD display but after owning and driving the Model 3 for the past 5 months, the screen has grown on me.

I got used to it very quickly and don't miss a conventional dash. The auto brightness works perfectly day and night.

I love it as well. Zero issues with using it for controls now that the auto-wipers are working so well.
And the speed display is perfectly placed. Hate regular dashboards now. My wife's Sequoia is like an antique car now!

I like the Model 3's screen a lot. We recently drove an S and an X and I found myself preferring the Model 3's setup.

Agree, I had an X for a couple of days when my 3 was being serviced and really missed the single screen.

I just wish Tesla would allow the screen to be able to tilt more in the direction of the driver. Being an old guy, it is tough to view the screen when it is at its present angle. Doable, but not comfortable. Hopefully, someone will create a fix for this.

I need 1.75 power reading glasses for close work. I always thought if the info was displayed in a slightly larger font, I wouldn't need to squint or use my reading glasses. I never considered the angle of the screen could also improve it (partly because I like the way it works equally well for the passenger if they want to browse music/stations/change the climate control or use the navigation system).

Hopefully, a future OTA update will allow selectable screen font sizes.

As a long time S and X owner, I almost immediately became comfortable with the Model 3 center display when I got my car last year. Now I wish that my X interface worked the same way as the 3. I would not miss the display directly in front of the driver in my X. Nor do I miss not having the dedicated AP stalk and steering wheel position stalk in the 3. They aren’t needed.

I second the need for some larger fonts, at least as an option.
Especially for things that are overlaid on top of maps.
Even for young people with perfect vision it can be difficult to see the time and temp when the background isn't homogeneous due to some map symbol partially occluded in the background.
