Tesla indeed has a night mode. Color pallet of the whole UI changes.

That is not "automotive level" night mode. The touchscreen is still brighting up the interior and shows too much useless information. The Saab 9-3 had a "Night" button, which when pressed, turned off _every_ light-source except for speed-odometer. There should be no information visible, no glow on anything, other than speedometer, and even it lowers its brightness. Why though? Try it, if you get the chance, the fatigue I feel after driving with night mode in a Saab vs shitty cars, is exceptionally low. Eye-strain, whats that?

  That’s the camera effect, not the real life experience. Sorry, I just picked the first image I found on Google images. To be sure, driving the TM3 at night is sheer joy. There’s no screen at all in front of your face. Just the road and a dark steering wheel. I find night vision much improved without having any indicators behind the steering wheel at night.

The second link doesn't work at all on my computer. It downloads a 56kb .webp file which doesn't open. I tried to extract the non-AMP url here: https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/55955575/9U3A2261__1_.0.jpg https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/55955575/.... In my opinion, this screen still looks excessively bright, distracting, and the night-time photo really showcases the screen's inability to accurately display dark colors (black still looks washed-out or gray).

  Thanks for the updated link. Copying and pasting on mobile over here. The screen is quite high quality in my opinion, and not washed out at all. You’re seeing the effect from the camera washing out from the street lights. See how dark the steering wheel is? No screen behind the wheel makes for sublime night time driving. It’s just you and the road, and silence.

  You're seeing a photograph of the screen anyways. Of course the camera will wash out the screen.
