Lightning Dashboard Rant

It looks like a screen that is cross platform shared with the MachE and probably needs wider use to keep cost low. Look for it to show up in more models. I like it in my Mach-E.

A friend of mine with a 3 says you get used to it, but I wasn't willing to bank a purchase on that. I drove his car a few times, and having to look to my right to see my speed or whether I could engage autopilot was infuriating. They aren't the first to put key driving info in the center. The Toyota Echo, Prius, Mini Cooper, and Scion xB have had gauges in the center. I won't exggerate to the point of saying you have to turn your head, but not having critical information in front of me drives me nuts!

The fact that there are now 3rd party gauge clusters for the 3/Y is somewhat telling how I am not the only one. However, it's also true that the 3 and Y sell incredibly well anyway.

True, I myself have thought about putting the center cluster for Apple CarPlay purposes and just to spice up the interior. I am not saying it's not necessary, as you can tell from Teslas other offering that have an instrument cluster.

Adding the the aftermarket one to me is just like adding a boost gauge on a turbo car that didn't with one from factory, not a big deal, $500 for DIY and some time to get to put your Tesla back together properly ?

They just need to mold the dash around it, sort of like the Rams vertical screen. But yeah, I am also kind of pissed it’s not an option all across the board with the 12” being standard. I want an XLT but can’t get Blues Cruise.

Yeah me too.. with a starting price of $53,000 on an XLT I think the 15.5 inch screen should be an option or standard. I actually like it after I thought I wouldn't. $53,000 with a standard range battery

I honestly cant tell the difference between the way Tesla has it and the way the Mach-E has it. People exaggerate and claim you have to turn you whole head right to get information int he Model 3 when it's just not true. Granted it's just a cost cutting measure from Tesla, but still, not a big deal in a CUV like the Y or Mach -E.

After driving the Mach E since February, I can tell you for sure I wouldn’t have wanted all the critical information like speed to be way over in the big screen.

It’s an EV must have! Ghey wheels and an absurd screen. EV owners must let everyone know they have an EV, it can’t look like the planet destroying model (see south park’s smug episode). lol
