Head-up display for Tesla Model 3

[@ew897]

We had the HUD in the previous car. In the Tesla, never missed it. Looks like a solution for a not existing problem.

[@CTCTraining1]

It is just an interim solution until Neurolink can push the displays straight into your visual cortex.

[@commenterperson4481]

That goes against the clean design; why bombard me with useless information? The car should already know/do the best pleasing thing, with minimal disturbance to me.

[@Ostap1974]

HUD should come as standard for M3/Y as it would completely silence my cry for a dash.

[@TheFPSPower]

People should have cried when it came out, everyone was like "who needs a dash, screen is enough" and later everyone realised it's much better to be looking stright ahead... Too late, not even the Y has it.

[@ghp0518]

@@TheFPSPower Elon went against it saying HUD or dash is not necessary because you have autopilot/self driving , but autopilot/self drive is a payed option and is not even legal in all countries plus there are people who do not want the autopilot.

The coloured bar is definitely funky. Red for high drain, Blue for drive, Green for re-gen (and park..). Also some various other colours crept in a various points. So.... would it work directly behind the steering wheel instead of right up against the windscreen? That "might" be more of a "traditional" place to find a speedo. But I do agree with Erikincph that cables being visible looks messy and compromises the looks.

[@whatislove127]

having a display like this, but on bluetooth with requirements to charge once in a while would be cool thing to play around

[@onlyrgu]

This is a standard HUD from a Chinese / Aliexpress brand called Eanop HUD 5. But there are lot of other options out there

[@JSmith73]

This would be *so* useful in Australia where only a few kms over will get you hefty fines.

[@MaxKosenko]

Unfortunately bunch of issues with those HUD imitations. 1. As stated in the video - need polarizing dark screen to remove 2 reflections. 2. It's not even remotely bright enough compare to OEM systems. Roughly 20 times. Sunny day can't see anything. 3. Normal HUD display is far away from glass with mirrors system so that it hangs above the car hood and not at the windscreen distance. 4. OEM makes image focused on infinity, so you can always read it without changing focus. 5. With all those films it's just too low to be useful.

[@kaasman78]

Kinda missing the nav arrow for the next turn. Didn't see it when all symbols were visible on screen. Bummer...with speed that could be very nice.

[@Karreth]

That information is probably never on the CANBUS.

[@kaasman78]

@@Karreth true...that's all MCU. Still...for just having the speed in front a HUD seems useless to me personally. In the Model3.

[@cypercharged]

So it means that OBD has blinker informations and individual tire pressure. These data points should be integrated to Scanmytesla

[@robsmith1a]

You can get this type of device for any car with an ODB port. I guess it depends on your car how well it can be hidden. I like the idea but I also don't want anything on my car that looks after market. I remember once having a car where they had fitted after market electric windows - a big box that fitted over the window winders and moved around as made horrid noises as it wound the windows up.

[@kasmopaya2676]

The cable management is also ok. But i am not sure if i want it. I think i will distract too much. First i have to test the original. (very soon)

[@JBoy340a]

Unless it is integrated into the navigation system and shows things like the direction of the next turn and distance to turn it is of minimal value. Look at the BMW HUD for a proper HUD design.

[@joshyboylee]

Most importantly, does it show correct indicator and speed information when center screen crashes / is resetting?

[@Reason077]

It certainly should, because it gets it’s data by tapping directly in to the CAN bus, and doesn’t depend on the center screen

[@bjornnyland]

Yes. But it's not really a problem. During my 1.5 years of ownership, I think the screen went black once.

[@VoxelLoop]

Center screen just displays info, it doesn't really do much! Sometimes when the autopilot visuals crash I've restarted the screen whilst in Autopilot, it's a weird experience but works fine. :)

[@SuomiFinlandPerkelee]

Bjørn Nyland I wonder if there is a problem with my Tesla then. Ive had it now for a year and the centre screen and dash has crashed at least once a month. Sometimes even a few times a week. 2019 MS.

[@Reason077]

@@SuomiFinlandPerkelee It might be that the Model S/X MCU is less stable than the Model 3's. My Dad's 2019 Model X MCU has crashed a couple of times while I've been driving it (but not the display behind the steering wheel). But it always can be reset, even while driving, by holding down the two scroll-wheel buttons on the steering wheel. I can imagine that the S/X MCU is running a somewhat different code base, with more legacy code, compared to the 3/Y.

Technically, you are right. During slow acceleration the speed on HUD changed 3 frames (120ms) later than speed on MCU.

HUD are not part of any safety regulation in the EU. Besides, the march 2022 deadline only includes vehicles which are newly designed, not existing ones, which will follow in march 2024 though.
