No.are you not talking about the rear view “mirror”?
then throw us a bone and circle it or something!
I think you may have been
Isn't that the mirror?'red block' behind steering wheel location?
No, the mirror would be more forward. It's in 3D, so that red rectangle is either on the driver side dash, or the "peak" of the car. So it's a driver display, the light bar, or something else with a lot of wiring in front of the driver.
Good catch! Looks like the were/are looking at a semi-style setup?!?Something I just noticed in this image: Is that the windshield wiper mounted at the center base of the windshield? I guess at one point it was a consideration?
I don't know about the steering location, but it could be for a driver display and a HUD on the dash. Or I could just be wishing.'red block' behind steering wheel location?
Possibly confirmed. lol
Nope. Drawing a straight line from our point of view the the long rectangular object in the wiring diagram, the object is either on the point of the top of the vehicle, or in front of the driver. The camera/rear view mirror that you are highlighting is a foot or two down the glass. The driver when seated can not see the "peak" of the vehicle.I think you may have been
multiple photo and attendant confirmations that there’s no driver display
and the angle of the schematic as the rear-view located technology cluster right where you might think it’s instead transposed on the dash ahead of the driver
I’m viewing at all this (in green) exists on the centerline of the vehicle, the smaller red toward the front the front-facing cameras, the larger one toward the passengers another tech cluster including the mirror (video?), a cabin-facing camera (it appears - for viewing the back seat, because the “mirror” is video?)
This has been discussed ad nauseam on these electric cars (ie. not just Tesla) for over a decade.. They don't want to keep the high-voltage battery contacts open continuously.
Remember when the model S was new and they didn’t have a 12v battery and this guy left his car until the battery drained 100% and bricked and couldn’t charge again and the battery pack had to be replaced? That’s why they have a regular car battery. The 48v is just modernizing with the times. We don’t use cigarette lighters and 12v gadgets hardly at all anymore. Some cars don’t even come with a 12v outlet these days. Or CD players. Or 8 tracks if you could believe. It’s just outdated and with Tesla being in the front of change in the auto industry the dinosaurs are going to have to finally adapt or go broke. This is good for all of us even those who don’t own Teslas. This opens the possibility of so many new things, or better versions of the same things.
