My take is it lowers the dash line and simplifies the interface. I don't think it's a recent decision since the interior of the release candidates seems to be pretty much what we saw over a year ago at the reveal.edatoakrun said:Back on topic:
Someone explain this to me, please.
You have all that prime real estate, right in front of the driver, available to place controls and information displays.
And instead of utilizing that surface, you leave it blank, and try to move the same data and operations through a tiny square on the right.

Maybe but I infrequently check the LEAF instrument cluster while driving. I did a test with my phone, running a speedo app, attached to the left dash vent about where the speed on the Model 3 will be displayed. No issue at all for me.

Perhaps your point would be made better if you didn't exaggerate quite so much. Maybe your point is that you believe there will be so few deliveries in 2017 and they will all be fully optioned, but then so what...the's base price is $35,000 and if you want, you can buy one for $35,000 (you may just have to wait).edatoakrun said:I'm sure TSLA wants to have its ~$60k (likely 2017 average sales price)

Randy said:Isn't one of the main reasons for having the center display and nothing in front of the driver so that Tesla can more easily build cars that go to different countries without having to "switch" the instrument cluster?
Exactly! Thank you!lpickup said:Look...I agree that if anything, the center display and lack of a traditional binnacle will be a drawback for some. But I think you are really stretching the argument that it is directly comparable to a Yaris.
Not for long.GRA said:...Even better would be a HUD focused at infinity, but those remain too expensive for the mass market...

....the Kona will get a head-up display - a first for Hyundai - with class leading display quality, the brand claims. A Hyundai spokesman was unable to confirm whether the system would be standard somewhere in the range or an optional extra, but it's likely that it'll feature only on higher-end models...
