Tesla Model 3 addon dashboard $575

[WindPower]

I’ve had the steering wheel display for about two months now and use it exclusively for speed, miles left on the battery, miles driven, state of charge and regen state (when you feather the accelerator pedal, you see how much power you’re generating to recharge the battery).

I find this display invaluable since I often check my road speed and looking slightly down is a lot easier than looking to the right where the large Tesla screen is. I have not yet used CarPlay, though I’ll get around to this at some point.

For safety reasons, Tesla should be putting this display in all cars, not just their S and X models. Tesla should focus on keeping drivers eyes on the road.

There are a dozen things I’d like to see with this display (just as there a dozen things I wish the Tesla would do on their 3 and Y models), but basically it does the job.

the distance for the 3 vs the S screen from the road isnt significantly different. and it certainly is much quicker to check the speed on a digital gauge compared to i.e. an analogue car gauge.

the worst part about this dash is the design too. random fonts tossed together, random logos, battery gauge/km remaining on 3 different places.
there is no real concept and it looks like the guy who designed this has never driven a car.
its chinese so im not sure why they couldnt just copy the model S dash...

it also doesnt show the tesla navi or music selection on there....

I'm interested in this almost purely for CarPlay functionality, but I noticed in that YouTube review that the reviewer said it blocks the driver side AC vent pretty significantly. I don't think I could live with that.

“ ... the reviewer said it blocks the driver side AC vent pretty significantly. ”

I’ve been using my AC for the past couple of weeks and I haven’t noticed a cooling problem. It’s possible that airflow is changed by the display but my car cools down nicely.

Nice, even has WAZE. That's why I'm using a Samsung tablet.

That's pretty nifty - mine is a DIY project - so will the unit work on a Samsung tablet? Hate to lose my WAZE and it charges fairly well via a magnetic USB cord.

Very interesting. Good to see more of these coming out lately. Will be keeping an eye on the reviews.

I don't think that's a new unit. I believe they're all made by one Chinese company and sold under various brands. I think it's the same unit I bought from Hannshow. I liked mine but switched to a Raspberri Pi solution with software from a guy who developed a solution.

More discussion of both solutions start around page 7 or 8 in this thread:

I got my 2.0 a couple of weeks ago and it has the January 2021 firmware. I tried updating to the Sept. 2021 update as outlined here, but I can't get it to install. I am hoping this update will keep the wifi connection between my 2.0 and 2021 MY from dropping every five to ten minutes.
