Model 3 spotted with steering wheel covered

[Reciprocity]

Why else would they cover it up?

Simple answer. They want to wait until the reveal to show the buttons/scroll wheels on the steering wheel.. Jumping to any conclusions that this confirms the HUD is just silly. Plus they like to drive forum members crazy

If you look at the monitor, many buttons are on the far right. If your 5'4" tall (average hight for women) it would take an effort to reach those buttons. My guess is that the steering wheel must have at least a bit more capabilities to navigate the buttons. Of course you no longer have the second screen which made use of the buttons for navigation so I wouldn't expect a ton of extra buttons. I would love to have just enough scrollers, dpad like buttons to never have to touch the screen. My screen gets so smudged and I hate to have to tap the screen just to reveal the to nav buttons.

I think non tesla owners are going to love the big screen. Try driving another car after using the Tesla screen. I used Google on my phone in my wife's mini van and I was hating how small the phone was and I wondered how the heck I ever used it before.

Lastly, they need to open up the apps for that screen to app makers. It would be sick if it could emulate Android and iPhone for approved apps. Maybe not enough processing power in the screen?

I wouldn't hurt to re-read what you type before posting. Auto correct is "helping" you.

Thread title makes no sense: "NEW unseen Model3 Steering Wheel Confirmed"

The photo confirms nothing. It's a picture of a jacket draped over a steering wheel.

Oh ye of little faith

In the new cars there is DEFINITELY enough processing power (if they are using same computer as S/X)

It's obvious they're covering a new steering wheel that's made from a few extra battery cells soldered together in a circle (in series). No way they're going to reveal a range-extending steering wheel just yet - *confirmed*

What do you mean by this?

What do you mean by this?

A gentleman was concerned that the car wouldn't have enough processing power to run 3rd party apps or stream apps from phones... He said he hopes the M3 can do this, I was replying to his comment

I think it was said "tongue firmly in cheek."

1. They etched their initials
2. They forgot to bring a windshield sun block
3. A Special Edition Pink will be offered
4. The case was wrinkled

Feel free to add more

5. to drive the gullible on the Internet wild!
6. an accessory in the Tesla store for people who want and can afford the ultimate extravagance

As per a pedantic reading of your actual thread title: yes, we can confirm that the steering wheel on this new Model 3 is unseen.

That's about it though.

Lol... what do i win now?

 

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

I never said this confrms HUD. Elon already said no HUD. It means there is a steering wheel that is better designed to handle full autonomy in my opinion

More important is having a steering wheel that makes it easy to drive with a single, central touchscreen instead of buttons.

Ohhh

They covered it because the right side of the steering wheel is cut off!

I find this attempt of yours to avoid dislikes a lot more interesting than the thread itself.

On the contrary, we here at Dislike Awards want to receive as many dislikes as possible as it generates a good return for our shareholders.
