- Model X
obviously it's subjective, but i'm curious why you prefer that style? to me it looks like some aftermarket hack where someone mounted an iPad or something.

There has never been a screen that large embedded in a dash before and Tesla's attempts to integrate it have been not so successful. By turning it around and accentuating the screen, the Model X takes a negative and turns it into a positive.
It kind of like when a tall slender woman wears flats and slumps her shoulders to try and hide that she's so tall. Compare that to a slender tall woman who's proud of the way she looks, stands up straight and proud, and wears heels.
Or a balding man, who instead of doing a comb-over, shaves his head, juts his chin and says, "here I am, as I am".
I LOVE the floating screen. It flouts its identity to the world.

Hard to say. One side of my family is very artistic; I kinda have the eye but not the ability. So I know when I like something and when I don't, but I find it hard to say why.
Thinking about it, I'd say that the screen tends to stick out anyway, so why not just "go with it".
Or we could just say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Edit: I just read Mycroft's post. What he said.

I think another thing is that it makes the dash look not-so-tall. It's hard for me to describe also, but th floating screen just looks way better.

Ergonomically it's better to have the screen up closer to the steering wheel, especially if temperature controls are always at the bottom you don't have to reach down as far.
I think setting the screen free from the rest of the dashboard, frees the dashboard to be what it wants to be as well.

I agree.
The X is a bigger (higher) vehicle. Is there more vertical space in the front cab area? If so, that changes (changed) everything.
Here's a pic from Charged_Up's gallery:
If you look close, it looks like the screen is actually forcing the chrome trim at the top higher than it's already going. If they did the floating screen thing like the X, the dash could be more compact and the screen wouldn't seem so squished in

Yes! The Model X dash looks better. The Model S dashboard is stretched (like the pig in the python) to try and swallow the screen and it looks distended.
I guess I stand alone on this one
I prefer the integrated, seamless look. Though I'm sure the Model X variant would grow on me.

I'm with you....
If it means that much, perhaps you should create a poll so you can see just how many people are with you.
Nah, doesn't mean much. But since you made that comment it clearly means something to you. Maybe you should create a poll.
I'm insane remember? I don't need others to agree with me to be content with my choices in life. Though, it is an interesting topic to get a consensus on since it seems to be so divided. Here we go.
You've actually done it!
You've found a reason for me to like the Beta dash rather than missing the Alpha dash -- because it would be horrid for them to "fix" it by using the X steal-me-and-my-duck-tape display.
