What's the advantage of having a GPU integrated in the car? Do you typically update those with similar timeframes?
As for "over an exotic car", I assume the other option would be something like a Lexus, not something super exotic.
- ronnier 3y agoIt's used for the full self driving. So since it's there, they let you game on it.
- vardump 3y agoNo, it's not. Unless you count on-screen [FSD] visualization.
- ronnier 3y agoI think you are right, I'm not sure why it's there then.
- kfarr 3y agoFor playing steam games!
- chrisco255 3y agoFor entertainment while you're charging your car.
- shultays 3y agoWeren't you supposed to still hold the wheel and take over in case of something goes wrong?
- agloe_dreams 3y agoThe GPU can play games from steam while you stare endlessly at the 1 hour this recharge is going to take, lol. And yeah, a ton of Tesla fanboys love quoting 0-60 but get real quiet when you ask about weight or quality.
- iknowstuff 3y agoThe average fast charge is a smidge above 20min Most chargers take 3s when you plug it in at home. Which is nicer than gas.
- agloe_dreams 3y agoYes...depending on battery discharge state and, rather violently, on how lucky you are on charger use and functionality. It is a large gamble in most parts of the US depending on times and luck. You absolutely couldn't plan a calendar appt around it without adding 30 minutes of buffer. Also the point was around gaming, if you are gaming in the car in your garage instead of on a proper TV, you are spending your money weirdly.

You can say the exact same thing about driving a traditional ICE vehicle 5+hours due to traffic. EV is a bit less convenient on road trips - yes; but it's much more convenient every other day of the year if you have a home charger.

- fomine3 3y agoAlmost all car infotainment systems are underpowered. Having GPU is a good sign for future proof.
- HWR_14 3y agoIsn't a hardwired GPU a bad sign for future proofing? Isn't an HDMI port and a power connection a good sign for future proofing?
- fomine3 3y agoHDMI is not enough, unable to touch screen and no signal/control about car status. CarPlay/Android Auto is another solution, but underpowered chip tend to be annoying also for them.
