Good on you Kim for doing it yourself rather than filming someone installing it for you. My impression is that because it plugs into the display computer it is only a Tesla software update away from being broken. You are then relying on the vendor to update their firmware to get it working again. For that reason, I wish Tesla would allow certified aftermarket accessories. Or even produce them. This display would be better if it showed navigation instructions or replicated the “side camera when indicating” display. That would require Tesla software input though. I don’t believe these should be available as an assembly line option, because that just complicates production and adds cost. But autonomous drive is still at least 5 years away so Tesla could provide itself another revenue stream by doing service centre installation of certified products like instrument clusters, HUDs and power frunks. (I don’t do Twitter so can’t suggest it to Mr Musk.) I am in a RHDrive country so this instrument cluster isn’t available. I have a HUD that sits on the dash instead and provides basic info like speed, drive mode, battery%, etc. I had got used to looking at the centre display for speed but quickly reverted after installing the HUD. It only cost a tenth as much as the cluster and doesn’t block the airflow.

[@dannywinget]

This is cool! I like the integrated look but I can’t lie not a huge fan of the software look that displays the information.

[@davem45]

Exactly. It looks like something the other OEMs make for their current infotainment systems... not up to the Tesla UI standards

That makes the car look so much better and in my opinion safer. I could drive one with that aftermarket cluster installed. Thanks!

How does a company build such a great product physically, and then massively fail on the UI?

Very cool. I would never do it to my model 3. I really like the blank area. I don’t need anything but speed which I like the placement of on the center screen. But for those that want this it looks great.

[@JeffMcNeal]

Agree. I'm also concerned with what it will do to the airflow of the AC. Seems that it would eliminate any chance of it blowing directly on you, which I prefer during hot summer days.

Great video and very cool and useful feature to have! Just wish the UI was a little more blended with the Telsa one, but other than, I guess something is better than nothing haha. Well done on the DIY part, so brave!

[@Steve-Stoytchev]

This is pretty good! Might finally pick one of these. I wish you expanded more on the functionality of the screen in your video

[@sigma682]

I like being able to control the driver side air vent, also, it doesn’t allow you to get rid of the car visualization on the main display, so you’re not regaining any screen real estate that Model S/X has. I feel like this was a missed opportunity to be more innovative, this could’ve been a HUD implementation, while maintaining an unobstructed air vent.

[@scubatrucker6806]

Now I'm willing to buy a model 3 or Y if this is available because I don't like not having a display in front of the steering wheel. Awesome job kim. Looks great

[@natnathutchins]

Don’t let that deter you!!! The cars are wonderful and clutter free. I know it’s a bit “un American” to NOT have a bunch of junk 🚮and bells 🔔 and whistles 💨… believe me - it’s an AWESOME CAR ! You wont miss the heads up display!

[@Resist4]

Well, Tesla just raised the prices of their cars yet again. And with the interest rates climbing, a Tesla will cost you a whole lot more.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

You should try driving a 3 or Y for several days. I don't miss the extra dashboard at all and have no problem using the central display. The speed and map are HIGHLY and QUICKLY visible and right next to the line of sight.

it makes a huge difference Kim I think too, I got a 22 model 3 an this exact display I got installed on mine, man it looks so OEM they could have easily put in a middle display at the factory.. but awesome video it helped my one installer out!!! 😄😎💯👍🏼

Looking good but I would rather see a integrated Heads-up display as that will maintain the minimalist look of the car and give all the necessary information you need.

Thanks Kim for sharing. Would love to see a follow up video after you have used it for a bit.

[@robintaylor1490]

Great video Kim, I definitely think that tesla should give it as an option . Kinda found myself smiling with the joy of your accomplishment 😊

[@Yanquetino]

You're pretty handy -and brave, Kim! Now I want to see you install a TorkLift tow hitch! 😉 I want to see more of your reactions when driving and using that binnacle. I don't think I would do the modification, for several reasons. I've adjusted just fine to my Model 3's screen by now; I would want a "wood" piece to match the original; I would prefer a heads up display if I really wanted to have readouts in front of me; and… I would want the binnacle to imitate the "blind spot" round camera displays now in the Kia EV6 and Hyundai IONIQ 5. They are much better than Tesla's solution, IMHO. But at least the battery has a green color in your new binnacle -like we've wanted Tesla to restore on its display for ages!

[@73_de_CJHall]

Holy smokes, this has to be one of the funnest Tesla videos I’ve watched. What a great product. So simple/straight forward to install, yet so very functional and (I don’t believe) Kim even broke a nail! Excellent post, thank you. First question in my mind: For those of us with M3s old enough to not have the dash cam memory stick connection in the glove box (a neat security feature), might there be a way to have that USB connector intended for updating the display unit firmware (if ever needed) also DOUBLE as a dash cam memory stick connection so we won’t have to keep it in the center console? Thanks again!

[@tangelo3000]

This has been around a while from other companies, I had it and loved the look but at the time tesla had just done a firmware update andthe aftermarket dash was very buggy as a result. Telsa firmware updates can effect the dash and you may be stuck waiting on the aftermarket dash to get an update its a huge downside.

[@AJ-we9kd]

Also there have been reports of Tesla blaming aftermarket parts for anything and everything in a warranty claim. Unlike the traditional automakers.

[@GT-22]

Great video! Drove my first Tesla (Model Y Long Range) and the lack of an instrument cluster hit me fast. Especially coming from normal ICE layouts (Mercedes AMG suv coupe). However..... as time progresses I got used to the one large iPad screen setup and the only thing that might actually be useful (and more so than in an ICE) is a heads up display! Otherwise, I was very impressed with the Tesla Model Y and this is coming from my daily driver Mercedes AMG. Less is more (relaxing) in the Tesla. Will get one in the future (knock on wood).

[@IvanPlayStation4LiFe]

Should be included in all factory made Tesla models but with touch screen.

[@AtlasWilder]

Before I owned a M3P I couldn’t imagine driving without one of these. Now shortly after owning my 22 I realize I couldn’t imagine driving with one. 😂. It’s a unique experience not having the dash. However this is a cool product

[@artfeingold3856]

Great video. Too bad not all of us can have the expert in person help from Tsportline! It would have been helpful to talk about the cost of the smart cluster in the video but the link to Tsportline should help. Thanks again for the video.

[@Cloxxki]

If Tesla had offered this as an option, imagine how many would have bought it, even at $2000. Would have brought them dozens or hunderds of milllions by now. Just for making the part they SHOULD ALWAYS have had in the car. Let alone a HUD. If the customer wants it, it's blacklisted by Tesla.

[@xplmr1]

I agree, the people want a Cybertruck but where is it? Let's all say we don't want it, like reverse psychology on a 4 year old. Then maybe they'll consider producing it quicker. 😁

I would love to see someone come up with an easier solution where you could plug into the Tesla instrument cluster with a Bluetooth or wifi transmitter that could talk to a smart phone.

Looks nice but with the wood trim on the doors I’m not sure how good it will look.

To be fair, if you pre cooled your car before getting into it then you wouldn't need the air blowing directly into your face. But I'm not really a fan of how Tesla did the vents on the Model 3/Y because it limits the air control. You can't close the passenger vents for more air to the driver when no one else but you is in the car, like with other vehicles.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

To answer my own question, judging by the T-Sportline web site, you can't configure specific things to show on the display, but in principle that could come from a future software update. Don't know that it will though.

[@dathyr1]

That is why some of us people do not do these kind of installations. We are always afraid of breaking something and have to have Tesla fix our mistakes.

Great video...Thank you.... Got a question, I noticed the car display on the new instrument cluster has the car in blue. I am assuming there is no option for color matching the color to your actual car color like you can do on the Tesla monitor.

[@ItsKimJava]

So turns out because our M3 is only one of a few thousand 3’s with the original silver color, the center screen didn’t automatically transmit the correct color to the smart cluster. Otherwise the color auto matches any other color 3 or Y. I understand there’s a firmware update coming to solve it for silver 3’s though.

You can attempt to move it up or and increase fans a little higher and might help But....***** NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT!!!***** Pretty upsetting, We will know in the summer if it's worth keeping or not. Had anyone mentioned this in some video? I have not found any, I think we would have waited a little longer. Only time will tell weather it's worth keeping or not.

[@HokulaniDesign]

1. I immediately went to their website and night mode is shown in their pics. 2. It's pretty clear that the air vent is blocked - especially from their images. Clearly that's a sacrifice you would have to make - along with $795.

Now this aftermarket instrument cluster installed in front of Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y steering wheel is really useful. I want it. But wait ✋️. I don't have a Tesla vehicle. And Texas law forbids ordering a Tesla (or any vehicle including an EV) over the internet. You have to use a dealer and deal with their typical price gouging mark-ups above the MSRP. Tesla has no dealer as vehicles are delivered directly to customers. PS: Tesla's Fast-charging network infrastructure, according to KZbin reports by users, is far superior and more numerous than Electrify America and the many others combined. They typically are in working condition, too.

[@quangyoung3308]

That’s incorrect! I ordered directly from the Tesla website mid May. My Tesla will be delivered on the 28th at the Dallas store. Yes they don’t have a dealership but you are able to order.
