The Problem with the model 3 and Y are the lack of a screen in front of the driver. All of the ACC, Lane Assist, and self parking (can’t be engaged from the steering wheel) in my Jeep are displayed right in front of me. I don’t have to look away to see what’s turned on. My wife’s BMW is similar and it also has a HUD that displays everything. The driver never has to turn away from the road to figure out what’s happening. Both cars also have audio cues associated with the various capabilities.
It’s one thing I’d wish they changed in the 3/Y.
- mft_ 5y agoFrom similar discussions, this seems to be binary - compared to a 'normal' dashboard (which while central isn't in the driver's eye-line whilst watching the road, is often dark or lacking in contrast, and can be obscured by the wheel depending on the driver's size and seat settings) people either love or hate the M3/Y's screen location. I get on fine with it (and flicking my eyes there is arguably better than my other cars' 'traditional' dash location) but others don't. Agree that a well-designed HUD might be the best of all worlds; interesting how very few cars implement this, despite it having been technologically straightforward for decades.
