Some cars are doing a HUD option with driver info in you field of view at the bottom of the windshield, I think that would be a great way for Tesla to maintain the “cool screen” factor while keeping important information available when infotainment breaks. But then you need the HUD hardware and another little computer to manage it, and since the Model 3’s “everything goes in the infotainment system” is fundamentally a cost-cutting measure, I doubt it will happen. Or if it does, it’ll be a premium trim item. And since vehicle speed is arguably pretty important for driver safety (if not when flowing with traffic, then when taking a sharply curved exit ramp off the highway) it’s not a good look to put it as a paid upgrade. Tesla wouldn’t want to admit that a second screen is helpful. Best case would be to make the main screen stop crashing, but if that were easy they’d have done it already.
