Hi @omarsultan when you get a chance (and it's safe to do so), could you please post a photo of the instrument cluster when the car is navigating to a destination? thanks in advance.

If you have time to capture the results for these browser tests for MCU3, I would be happy to rerun the MCU1 and MCU2 results for comparison. Links to those tests are halfway down this first thread…

@omarsultan one more question for you that popped into my head earlier today.
I was driving my partner’s P90D, and even though she likes a larger steering wheel than me, I was thinking “gosh i really hope the yoke isn’t as wide!” I had totally forgotten how big “old” Model S wheels were.
So if you get a chance Omar (and no rush at all obviously), could you please measure the width of the yoke at its widest, around the 9 to 3 o’clock position? Thanks!

it's 14.5" at 3/9 o'clock--its actually a little wider across the bottom at 15".

Thanks again, as always, Omar!
For reference, the old Model S wheel is about 15.5” and the Model 3 wheel is 14”.
For anybody who is interested here are the details on the wheels/tires…
I noticed that I asked about 19 inch turbines meant to say 19 inch slipstreams in my question.
I was surprised to discover the both 19s and 21s are asymmetrical.

Nope and also not sure how the forward facing cameras would give you any better view than what the driver sees naturally out of the windshield. It sits higher, but might not have the field of view where you are interested.

We're talking about the view from the front bumper so you can better see when you're parking.
See: Tesla Model S Front Camera Touchscreen Switch Kit
2nd run of camera switch that show a front image on the touch screen
As interest appears to be sufficient to justify another production run of the front/rear camera switch WhiteP85 and I developed a few years ago, I'm now getting estimates for another run of 100. Basically a second Tesla camera is mounted on the front of the car and the switch changes the image...

This continues to be the best mod I've ever done for my Model S. And given the complete refresh of the new Model S, it's baffling that Tesla did not add this feature that most modern cars have had for years.

@artsci is probably already on top of this, but does the rear applique (now black instead of chrome) on the new Model S have the "TESLA" letters as a separate plastic insert, or are they molded into the applique itself?

Three figures, Omar?Happened to snap this today--had to redact it a bit
"But Orifice, I only pushed the accelerator for 3.5 seconds!!"
yes, the rear seats have a 60/40 split. They have an electronic release on the top corner of each seat and there are also switches in the trunk area that also release the seat backs.
No, unfortunately, n one of the seatbelts are height adjustable.

Are there grey interiors out there? I have seen two sets of pictures with grey interiors. Jay Leno's was one. Grey is not offered on the options list.
It looks like Jay has the black with ebony wood interior. Not grey.
