sooo, i did a little more digging and was able to get a screen grab from the test drives on release night...there is definitely something under the seat in the prototype... you get a couple glimpses of it when the light hits just right at about 14:40 here:

My early Model S has a screen behind the steering wheel, but the only way to interact with it is via the steering wheel controls. I imagine that going to a single screen is tied to their goal to make things as simplistic as possible. 2 screens means 2 panels to replace if they fail, 2 wiring...

Yeah like Crissa mentioned, the scroll wheels are set up in a way that you should be able to control that without your hands leaving the wheel. additionally, you can also just verbally say "Turn on windshield wipers and the car will do it. Here is a list of everything that can be done via...

i have definitely had friends that have gotten tickets for their speedometer being more than 3-5 mph out of whack. Im not sure how that applies to digital speedometers these days though...?‍♂️

its all available via API, and there is software out there doing this already....https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/smartphone-dashboard.107961/ Elon has said they are due for a UI update, so designing your own display preferences may be an option in the future. I have to believe though...

there are all sorts of them..... here is a partial list. Some are as simple as reorganizing info already available in the tesla app, others showing the temp or individual battery cells. I'm sure you will be able to find one to fit you needs...

20-30% savings using regen enough to make you consider? https://www.drivezero.com.au/charging/charging-guides/regenerative-braking-guide/#caption-attachment-321:~:text=Over the years there have been,service your brake pads as often. Real life 15% per this research paper...

I agree, its negligible, probably no more than a mile or two between charging sessions. but it is still more efficient than no regen at all. Over years, that does add up If it was more efficient to coast and brake, they wouldnt bother putting regen in the vehicles at all. I assume you are...

Unless Im misunderstanding you, that is incorrect. Any power going back to charge the battery with regen is going to be more efficient than coasting, in all cases. Initial energy usage Regen recharge to battery Total energy used -100 +3 97 Regen -100 0 100 Coasting

There is no "coast" in a Tesla. youre either accelerating or regenerative braking, like a switch, on or off. It will take approximately twice driving a Tesla before you completely change the way you drive forever! its so weird to drive my second car now, stop signs really sneak up on you a...

I don't see the screen getting much larger considering that a person needs to sit in that middle spot to seat 6. Going vertically with the screen makes it difficult to sit there without your knees resting on the screen.

That software was definitely a barely working beta for the release, I'm sure it will be in the same working condition as every other care already in production...
