You are way off the mark here.
In other cars important information, speed time etc is always easily visible with a glimpse. All controls are through fixed buttons. Here you have to open menus, without ability to quickly read it is not usable.
I am farsighted and I cannot see remaining range, time, when my next turn is on GPS. I cannot read any of the warnings the car is displaying.
It is like driving the tesla with screen turned off. Or I have to look at the screen for 4 seconds to read anything. Keep my eyes off the road that long?
The fonts should be larger by default or give an option for it.
You have freaking large screen you have enough room for any font size.
@Baybay408:
Take a look at the gauges in am ICE. The fonts are larger than on the Tesla screen. They are also high contrast.
There are a number of eye problems which affect the ability to switch from road vision to screen vision...
Cataracts cause issues with contrast and glare. I had my cataracts removed and lens implants and it cured the issue immediately.
@Bill Foster: Sometimes cataract surgery or other medical procedures are not possible for an individual. Why not a simple software solution?
I have been violently nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the the other since forever. This aggravated the screen read condition, even with
Varilux lenses.
I have Macral Degeneration in both eyes, worse in my nearsighted eye. This aggravated the near screen condition.
Color blindedness can aggravate the problem. (Not me, denks Gott!)
Glare can aggravate readability.
As an experiment, I created a screen on my tablet, same size as Tesla screen. Same display. I was able to change font sizes, font and background colors (without moving any of the display items) with a tap. I mounted the screen so I could swing it in or out of the way. On several tries, with my particular maladies in full swing, merely changing changing the font sizes and the font/background contrast without changing the layout one whit made the text easily readable. I also made the accel/decel line thicker like it was originally.
Fortunately, my cataracts are gone, my lens implants work fine, and my MD has subsided in the bad eye. So I can deal with the current font size. But there is no reason I can see that with a little programming, a customization to attend a real need could not be done.
Maybe they could take a little time off from writing insipid games, fart noises and other silly options, some practical programming could happen.
I'd really like to know the reason for the change in the first place.
