Yeah, that’s a cool idea. VW has something like that for GPS directions, I think. It flashes blue from center to left or center to right when you need to turn.
Seems to be the next functional steps, especially with AI-driven hardware and Robotaxi around the corner. Could create a massive library of easily identifiable notification types based on coloring and motions of the ring of light that surrounds you. I'll be honest though, I didn't see this one coming.

Yeah, the VW ID.Buzz at least had that (as an option anyway). But it’s not a LED strip glaring straight into your eyes all the time. It’s tastefully done. Now would I pay extra for that option? Probably not.

By notifications I seriously hope you guys don’t mean social media notifications and the like. That’s the last thing I’d want! But direction indications would be fine.

Hell no (to social media notifications), just notifications on when to turn, blindspot, exceeding speed limit by X amount, accident ahead, etc. Useful driving stuff.

Yeah, for years I have been concerned about that A-pillar blind spot....wish someone could reassure me it is no big deal...:unsure:
I think in Elon’s mind it isn’t a concern because of FSD, but yeah, it’s been a problem for decades. My 2009 Honda Fit has a raked windshield and the A pillar obstructs my view even with a sail window, which the CT also has.

That’s true, but I’d actually use it if it had a function and/or didn’t reflect onto the windshield. I think this is why most ambient lighting is under the dash. Lucky for us Tesla iterates almost constantly and listens to their customers (sometimes).

As for the functionality it could totally be added through a software update and Tesla is the absolute best at this. Just look at how they improved camera quality in HW3. Amazing!

It's not a big deal, because it's completely vertical and back close to the driver. Believe me or not, but the CT pillar design is fantastic for visibility.
you’re completely talking out of your arse

You’ve never sat in the CT

And what’s left, your mental map/extrapolations, are off

But how do you really feel about this?

I'm not, it's actually part of my professional field. But your cheeks are flapping in this post.

Your experience in your professional field appears appears to allow you, from the armchair, to override the experience of people who have sat in and driven the truck

that’s a valuable skillset!



all car designs have compromises. The CT is no different. In fact, maybe moreso.

it doesn’t help the Cybertruck or Tesla to put your fingers in your ears and repeat ā€œit’s flawless, I guarantee it’s flawlessā€

except for maybe a certain subset of ā€œfansā€
