Wonder how that fits with a normal child seat... Works with/replacement, ect? I know in virginia my daughter was about 8 before she was out of the any child seat. The laws there are more and more restrictive every year. Have to wonder how these fit in.

Since they're rear-facing and 5-point harness, it sounds like they're safer than a normal child safety seat. They're probably the safest riders in the car unless you're rear-ended by a speeding semi.
Interesting point. I doubt they'll have airbags back there.
Hopefully there will be an option for a camera mounted inside the hatch to keep an eye on the kids. Even better the camera would be facing down when the hatch is open so you can see that nothing is in the way when you close it remotely.

It seems that the touch screen will have a driver biased tilt to it, but it's nothing too crazy like I've seen in other cars where I couldn't even operate the radio if I were the passenger. But it could be bad artist rendering. Looking at the other photos, the screen will not have that big of a tilt maybe 1 degree at the most. Is the touchscreen going use the tech where the driver sees one thing and the passenger sees another (I forget, but I think MB uses this tech in their cars) I've been looking through the design studio and I like the non signature model colors a lot more than the signature.
Oh and the charge port is in the rear tail light, the part that wraps around to the driver's side of the car and the car turns on if the key is in your pocket and you buckle your (the driver) seatbelt

The Jaguar XJ has it, but apparently US spec cars don't have it enabled because it is illegal to show entertainment in the center console according to the NHTSA.

2010 Range Rover also has it, but also not in the US market.
I wonder how NHSTA feels about people web browsing then. Hopefully the system has good voice recognition. I've quite happy with the voice recognition on Android phones (of course all the work happens in the cloud).
That likely has more to do with getting their paint shop up to speed. They're probably only confident in a limited number of colors to start and the signatures car are coming out first.

You are just too far away! :tongue:
Do you feel any differently after seeing all the event pictures posted recently.
By the way, earlier I posted the 'night mode' picture.
Here is the 'day mode':
(from Model S Features | Tesla Motors )
These pictures really don't do it justice. It looks pretty spectacular in person.

You're not alone. Tesla just posted some official pictures on their facebook page and the majority of comments under the interior photo are negative regarding the dashboard.

People are used to a ton of buttons, knobs, switches, multiple displays, CD/iPod player, etc all as indicators of a decked out interior. All that stuff is rolled into the console functionality which leaves a ton of blank dashboard space. It makes it look spartan, but I'm not sure what you do about that.
I'm no designer, but I'm sure there's something they can do. The prototypes dash was better IMO

Here's a reminder of what the prototype interior looked like:
I agree the interior does look a bit spartan without any buttons or knobs.

Yes, but there was only one cup holder in the center, he says with tongue in cheek.
Haha easily rectified I bet. Thanks for posting the pic, it flows SO much better IMO. Maybe it was harder to keep that flow since it couldn't flow to the center console since there isn't a transmission

I think you just like the fact that they rounded off the corners and other edges. It definitely gives it a less intimidating look. Personally, I like my pixels.
