Is it though? And by how much?
- justsomehnguy 5y ago> Is it though Depends. SKU count is lower for sure. Wire count is less too. And in Tesla's case (Model S) where there is no real dashboard with a speedometer at all - it really would make a difference. Didn't found how much Tesla pays for it's screen, but at $300 and even $500 I wouldn't be surprised if it would be still cheaper.
- rekoil 5y agoThe Model 3 is the one without a dashboard, the Model S has a secondary screen for a dashboard.
- brk 5y agoCan't comment on this specific cost, but ~20 years ago when I worked at Ford I remember seeing a little poster on the wall celebrating how they value engineered $200 or so out of a Taurus by replacing or eliminating a lot of small parts and pieces. Tesla is bumping up against 1M cars built per year. Saving $10/car can add up to real money.
