Refresh S, Passenger Screen

[cytranic]

Saw a video on Facebook and went and confirmed myself. If you shine a light on the passenger side trim above the glovebox you can CLEARLY see they planned for a passenger screen, and what looks like a display above the glove box. Is it an actually hooked-up display? I'm not sure. Wondering if anyone has pulled the trim off and looked behind?

No pictures or anything to go off of here but are you sure it isn't just the relief points for the passenger side airbag to deploy?

I've been wondering this since Day 1. Is there a deactivated screen behind there? I mean, why was there a giant screen protector on this all the way along, and why make it glossy otherwise?

I realized how completely worthless this post is without a picutre. Here is a pic of my car

The Roadster 2.0 has a little screen in/behind the strip than ran across the dash on the passenger side. Back when the Plaid+ was still on the table, I was thinking that Tesla may incorporate something similar for the passenger in there. Still very curious about this! Here's a couple shots of that Roadster screen, there's a similar one on the driver's side too.

I recall reading on either Reddit or an article somewhere that there was some speculation due to the way light shined against the dash. I think they settled on it being a single piece from the center screen to the end of the dash, but no actual screen. What the hell would go there with such a small screen real estate?

I came to the same conclusion. The passenger side dash is see-through to match the driver side. It looks like a screen is behind it, but there is not. They just did a good job of matching driver side and passanger.

It definitely bugs me that it's so glossy - and it annoys my wife in the passenger seat having to stare at her reflection in it. A peculiar choice to stick with glossy...

If there was something behind the cover, Electric Performance would have probably called that out by now in their Plaid teardown for race car conversion.

Brought 2022 Tesla Model S refresh in for service today. Technician confirmed that this is in-fact a deactivated screen. Said something along the lines of “but there’s no data pins attached to it, not sure why it’s there”

Since this post was created, Munro did a full teardown of the instrument panel, and there is no screen back there.
