This was true in the original Model S/X, because a screen that size didn’t exist in automotive grade. They resorted to using an industrial grade screen which they qualified for use in the car, but it’s had the yellowing issue.
My understanding is all the new screens are tested to Grade 2 instead of Grade 4 like the original screens from Innolux.

- clouddrover 7y agoWhere does your understanding come from? You've just listed the same link I provided.
- zaroth 7y agoOh hah, that’s funny. It says in that article they made revisions to the screen. > Tesla appeared to mostly fix this problem with its "cabin overheat protection" feature ... as well as revisions to the Innolux panel. For what it's worth, the TM3 appears to use an LG LA154WU1-SL01, but I can't find a detailed spec sheet on it.
- clouddrover 7y agoThe article doesn't say it's now a grade 2 screen. The article does quote Mentor Graphics saying, "defining the boundary conditions for Innolux’s system is the responsibility of their customer, not Innolux." So Innolux will quite happily sell Tesla a screen, but it's up to Tesla to use it appropriately. I think your understanding is wrong.
