makes perfect sense to me.
previous generation Model S with a dashboard and stalks is much nicer to control than the new s/x/3/y/truck.
You can flash your headlights, you can control details of autopilot, you can shift quickly into forward/reverse when doing a tricky parking maneuver, you can separate controls on center screen from info on the dashboard. direct wiper controls. There is a place to rest your finger while hunting for a control on the central screen. navigation highlights upcoming turns ahead of you on the screen.
then 3 takes away dashboard. The smaller central display has extremely cluttered information along the left edge. The controls require attention, and hard right from the direction you should be looking to drive.
And each generation this seems to go a little further. Removing the stalks is too far imho.
the cybertruck main screen where you adjust everything is just a wall of on-screen touch areas.
I personally think all of this is the classic presales vs postsales dilemma.
Something that looks clean and modern in the store only ends up showing its shortcomings when in daily use.
Just my opinion. Personally I think tesla should add a $2k option for stalks, a dashboard and a couple dedicated buttons. I'll bet it would help with sales.
- modeless 1y agoThe 3 and Y were not just Tesla's most successful products, the Y was literally the most successful product in the entire vehicle industry. They never had a dashboard display and they always had a touchscreen as the primary interface. Bonkers to suggest that as a reason for a decline this year. The stalks, sure, but Y never had the blinker stalk removed so it's still not a reason.
- m463 1y agothey did redesign the Y and it doesn't look as elegant with the strange head/tail lights (IMHO).
