I wish Tesla could add a "Classic UI" easter egg. While arguably uglier, I always love those old "bubbly 3D" UI elements of the mid 2010's. It would just be a cool tough because I always love seeing how far even simple things like UI styling change over the course of a technologies early life.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Model S. But statements like "Fine tune your listening experience in ways never before imagined" just plain insult my intelligence, and quite frankly, piss me off. Of course, these "never before imagined" ways include such groundbreaking technologies such as fader and balance, and bass, midrange and treble controls. Simply amazing!!

[@MichaelKnaepen]

It's in some of his interviews. He confirmed you can browse while you're driving. But he doesn't recommend it. But he also said that if you would decide to browse and drive, it's better do it on a 17" touch screen then

How's it going?

[@Bazrrrr]

This car does have some nice refinements with lots of extra space and even though it will have very low maintenance costs in the long run you have to wonder the cost in replacing the large battery array at the end of their charge/discharge life. Not forgetting the cost in electricity it won't be that much cheaper than petrol in the long run for those reasons. With lithium sulphur battery technology not far off that could also be a pricey upgrade.

[@Georninja]

Meanwhile in 2022, gasoline/petrol prices are way more than anybody could imagine

[@MrSaint3]

Officer: "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Me: "I don't know, but I have been experiencing same dashboard lag."

[@irsyadhasan3908]

That touchscreen and self driving system should be applied to every cars. Large touchscreen display should be installed on cockpit flight deck of every airplanes and every helicopters.

[@AbbasFakhri]

This is just amazing, tesla has a bright future with such dedication to details. I would love to see an actual review on this tech

[@user-oc6gb6cv6y]

You predicted the future because now they are very famous and new cars

[@isokessu]

Looks awesome but buttons are better, because the driver learns to use buttons blind, by real touch. Using buttons is then safer because then the driver actually looks out from the window and follows mirror's. Other thing is that it's not probably very hard to make virus for that when it's connected to internet. Some nerd can turn off your driving lights from the web. I like the car but this touchscreen is strange idea for a car. Although, 3:58 that reverse camera is great :)

[@anikalove.0044]

no words....... i cant believe all the talented people whp worked together to make this car..... mind blown wish it was more affordable :(

not the case... touchscreen works all the time, no restrictions. Only thing the web browser does not support is video.

This feels like one of those promo reels for Prometheus, except better because it's real.

[@DJFusionized]

This car has won so many endless rewards. It won car of the year 2013 by Motortrend as well. I salute Tesla. It's a shame though, this company will not go viral any time soon. The car industry is still focused on Gas engines, ect. However, in the near-future Tesla will lead the car industry. Think of it, it's 2013 and it has this type of technology, what about years later? It'll be ahead of everyone.

[@eLJaybud]

Forget the display, can you get the batteries into something like an airline case with big wheels so you can take it indoors and charge them or swap them out when they no longer take a charge without having to take it to a garage.

[@ngzouklove]

As a rule of thumb I need at least a second generation to come out and more reviews but they got me, damn they got me. I want it.

[@user-oc6gb6cv6y]

Well a lot has come out so are u convinced yet?

[@Jessicanana89]

With a 250-300 mile range and quick chargers, I don't think most Tesla owners have to worry about energy issues. Nor are the screens prone to breaking unless you're in a serious accident. It's just a matter of adding a luxury feature probably. Personally, I dislike that much of a touch screen because I feel I have to look at it for longer since I can't feel around for buttons. Currently, I've found I'm far more reliant on the quick buttons on my steering wheel and voice commands.

[@itsyellow]

Nice to see how far you've come! It was a little ugly back then but it still looked better than the rest! Tesla is 2nd to none!

[@KURTrek]

What I like is the fact that the touchscreen now is like 10X better than what this video shows.

[@jackwhitlock1]

[@BalloonCandy18]

I really like Tesla and what they are doing for the world. However this screen worries me a bit. Wouldn't it be more energy efficient to use standard dials and switches to control the car's features instead of having to power a large, bright, energy using touch screen to do what those switches and buttons do? Also, what happens if the screen breaks? I'm not a proffesional engineer or anything, but is what I'm saying making sense or am I just completely wrong?

[@debrafalasco7235]

The screen did not blew my mind, the bgm blew my mind

[@gabrielpichardo1]

Tesla here his one advice about eliminating the charger.Just install 4 alternators to the wheel inbuild.So never need to charge station.It means charging the battery while cruising.

[@charlexbarrison1009]

Tesla's Touchscreen is made by Panasonic. Market leader of quality electronics and reliability! Check Toughbooks and Toughpads displays (awesome IPS technology) I am so glad that Panasonic Corporation is Tesla tech partner, this is way to perfection! (e.g.batteries, displays, air conditioning and other parts)

[@Hirotoro4692]

Perhaps for someone who is unfamiliar with computers. But really, that display didn't look all that complicated. Quite like the buttons on a normal dashboard, but on a touchscreen with some bells and whistles added. Figuring out how to use Microsoft Word is probably harder.

[@KawaiiM4A1S]

I'm looking back at this stuff and gotta ask... Did tesla do most of this stuff before anyone else? Since the model s came out in 2012, and I don't remember seeing any other cars with the features the model s had. Then again, I had a shitty ass car in 2012 so there's that.

[@stolmich]

Is there a DVD or CD-drive in there?? I love listening to CDs during drive.

[@toyotaprius79]

Soon, plying games may be possible. We all know these cars can be updated with new software that the car didn't have before and that hardware changes can be made while the car gets serviced. Hey, the touchscreen has Tegra-powered graphics card from Nvidia, so it's definitely possible.

[@GuillaumeKuntz]

[@Patyx42]

+Guillaume Kuntz the operating system looks different now. This video is from 2013, there were a lot of software updates by then

[@mdebernardini]

yes, but most cars have a very simple feature so that people dont become complacent and start checking facebook on the highway. It clearly shows that you can access 4 basic apps (gps music control etc). Ive never actually been inside one but Im sure that since most other car makers have this safety feature, so does tesla.

[@vietor1000]

Take my word for it. I own a Tesla Model S.

[@HorsTeets]

"but needless to say, the attention required would be dangerous" . i thought so myself, but at @4:28 they show that you can control up to 4 apps at a time. i'd think they made it so that you can control the vital functions of the car using only the cluster display. seems legit
