screen's fine. poke at it while car is driving. transmission? there isn't one. I reboot my screen while autopilot drives. js

 

When I bought my first Model 3 five years ago, I expected to have difficulty adjusting to the center screen. In actuality, it took only a couple of weeks to adjust to it and now it's second nature. I'm sure that some consider a driver display mod mandatory. I consider it a waste.

 

Much like @FRC I got used to the off-center touch display on my 2018 Model 3 fairly quickly. Never really liked it though and still don’t. When we got our 2023 Ioniq5 with its driver binnacle I was and am very happy. And the heads-up display on the Hyundai is just icing on the cake.

The center display and HUD may not be considered mandatory, but they are very, very nice to have for my driving.

Interesting. Now that I own an Ioniq 5, it reminds me why I dislike the driver binnacle. They've placed the speedometer off to the side, where it's almost always at least partially covered up by my hand or the steering wheel itself. I've discovered that four years of Tesla ownership has actually made me prefer the center screen.

Or at the very least, everybody seems to suck at placing info in the driver binnacle in such a way that things are still visible when you adjust the steering wheel to a lower point.

 

I like the behind the wheel 2nd display on my model X. I like 2 specific things I can have ever-present there: trip data and a zoomed in navigation view. I briefly considered adding an aftermarket 2nd display to my model 3. I did not do so because I never saw one that I thought would provide unique info in a readable format/font size. I also love the clear unobstructed view straight ahead.

 

You can think of the second screen as a potential backup if, heaven forbid, the main screen goes bad. I am considering the really small one for speed and % charge.

I have a question about your link. When I go there, it starts playing loud-ass music. I can't find any video that's open. When I mute the sound button on my computer, it stays quiet for about two seconds, then starts with the music again. Any way you know to stop the music? I like their website but the music is annoying. Thanks.

 

Every car I've driven always seem to have the speedometer hidden behind the wheel, and that's 20 years of weekly rentals. I started using a Garmin GPS that I'd mount on the windshield in the center. It was easily visible.
So when driving my Model 3 or Y, I had to look a little lower, but it was easy to see the display.
In my book, I have no idea why I would want another display in the car, there's nothing else I need to know that I can't already easily see.

It's right up there with the other manufacturers thinking if everyone loves Tesla's display, we'll make an even bigger one. I mean, a display that goes all the way across the dash? It's just marketing and has no association with a good user interface

 

... and has no association with a good user interface

Have heard that same comment regarding the Tesla center screen.

In Fox-A-Ganda terms "Some people say ...".

 

Anyone try one of these? Looks pretty cool

Ok, so what good is a head's up display that you can only see when outside the car? Look closely at the picture.

Definitely looks like a mockup.

 

You think that someone could build a low cost EV with manual windows, hard top, simple screen with only speed and state of charge, no map, no GPS, and heat wiper controls like today. Use your phone for all the stuff such as maps etc. Wonder if reducing the car to base components could they make a car thats not a computer.

 

Wonder why you really don't see manual windows anymore? Electric ones are cheaper to implement.
Hard top, not sure what the savings may be.
Simple screen? There's not that much difference in the price of larger vs smaller screens. Laptop screens are pretty ubiquitous. And the number of buttons that they replace tends to make their implementation cheaper than the alternative.
State of charge, map, GPS are basically really cheap.

Tesla has already slashed the cost of building the Model Y and 3. There actually is a big profit margin, as opposed to most other vehicles being made today,

If Tesla is selling everything that they can push out the door, why would they reduce the price? But as their backlog decreases, you see them starting to manipulate the prices.

If you sit in the future and look back, you'll see that Tesla only introduced the cheaper car when they had the more expensive car market saturated.

And if you go look at the other vehicles out there, you'll see that Teslas aren't at the top of the pile. It's easy for the ubiquitous F-150 to pass $80,000.

 

Nay for me, I have the magbak iphone holder and run waze on the iphone when driving through traffic areas so I do have my carplay/waze fix
when not needing waze, the iphone sits in the wireless charger
as for the over the steering wheel display, i like the simplification of just having the main screen
so, again its a nay

 

btw, the HUDWAY is def compelling and maybe just past keeping the minimal approach close, seems it will be released by year's end, I will be watching the reviews...and considering one

 

I have seen Hudway several times at CES. They have been around a while. Hope they have made a cool unit. I like the idea of transmitting data to the unit vs trying to fish a line to the unit.
The display needs juice and that would take some effort to fish a line through the car. Its why I don't have the interior light kit. Fishing wires everyplace kind of hard.

 

strange they are still in pre order

 

Sorry was not clear.. They have been selling HUDs like this for a few years now for all vehicles. The Tesla version is all new from what I can tell.

 

I plan to get the MSX-Pro Driver View Dash & LCD Display ($800) once my warranty expires. Picture below.

 

I installed one in my Y, took about 20 minutes. I love it and think they should all come with it. Best 100 dollars I ever spent.

I totally agree. Best $ spent. I installed the new one and it looks oem, looks like it came with the car installed.

 

Wow
Never knew this about HUD and nausea
It’s on my future T upgrades list of maybes
Wait and see

My brother had no problem at all using the HUD. Maybe rent one and drive it for a day to see how it effects you. Everyone will have a different reaction to using it.

 

Is that type or model available yet?

 

guys, looking for a product link

 

Moderator how is this relevant to this thread subject?

 

Nice, I like the 5.16" and it's software seems updated from the 4.6".

Yes. The display shows all the basic stuff. Autopilot and auto steer indicators etc.

 

Ever have anything positive to say Ed? It doesn't obstruct airflow what so ever, it's air, it flows around it like water goes around a rock in a brook. As far as steering wheel, there is still room for an even taller one.

Most people complain about me being too positive. But when it comes to putting things behind a steering wheel, it's not for me.

Sorry, the A/C doesn't go it like a rock in a brook. I am quite familiar with the issue. As we are road tripping, I am often in the passenger seat with a laptop open, working. After a little bit I start to realize that I'm getting hot, really hot. That's when I remember that the screen of the notebook is blocking the airflow, just as it seems this device may.
It just seems as if the air is set to blow straight out (not split) and not pointed to the ceiling that this may impede the airflow.

 

Ever consider the heat may be coming from your laptop.

Absolutely! It wasn't. Tilt the screen so that the air isn't blocked and ahhhhh.... cool again.

BTW, that's not really the way that water flows either. We've got some streams around here that are common for kayaking or tubing. If there is a big boulder or even a concrete wall (like a bridge post) in the water, on the downstream side there tends to be either dead water or a hydraulic that can suck you under.

 

Loving this mini display

 

I ordered mine ( Satonic 4.6" ) from Ali-Express in octobre black Friday and got a real good deal. $123 Cdn delivered to my house. You can get the 4.6" cheap now that the 5.16" is out. Tesla Model 3 Y Ultra Mini LCD Dashboard

This morning I updated the software to see if it would fix 2 bugs mine had. The bugs were; On UI2 the clock would always revert to 12H when I had previously set it to 24H, it worked okay on UI1 but I prefer using UI2. ( UI stands for Universal Interface ) The other bug was highbeam indicator had stop working after an over the air Tesla update in December. This update cured both bugs.

Latest version is.

 

Ive had my 23 Y performance for 2 days and 300miles. I don't mind no front display during day, i don't however like that scenario for night driving. I live in a pretty rural area. So i ordered an aftermarket one today. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BGHCVQ9R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Read pretty good reviews on it, found a great instal vid on youtube and has everything a lot more expensive ones have.

 

The HUDs that do it right, focus the information way out in front of you.

It displays on the windshield.

High quality HUDs reflect off the window, but they use optics technology to project well out in front of the car. You "see" it floating in the air, maybe 10 feet in front of you. This keeps you from having to change focus.

Exactly. My Camaro has HUD that reflects on the windshield. When you’re driving it looks as if the information is out about a foot and a half beyond the windshield. Great option. I’ve ordered a HUD for our Model Y. My wife’s only real complaint about th car is the lack of instrument cluster in front of her. Easily solved.
