After Tesla Model 3 was released, many people expressed their dissatisfaction with its central control.
Without the instrument panel, all information is concentrated on a large screen.
Ignoring the visual language of the interior design, in terms of driving habits, it is a great challenge for drivers to look at the current status of the vehicle from time to time to the right of the driver’s seat.
Many users expressed their dissatisfaction with Elon Musk on Twitter.
Someone said:
Without the instrument panel/head-up display, I feel very uncomfortable. This is the only part of the car that I don’t like.
Elon Musk replied:
You will understand at the second Model 3 launch.
Someone also gave Elon Musk suggestions such as Ferrari steering wheel. Elon Musk replied: When you see the real steering control system of Model 3, it will be like a spaceship.
These two responses reveal a lot of information.
The second Model 3 launch will reveal more design of the interior, and after the slow transition of several models, the imagination of Model 3 is no longer limited to the original car interior design, but adopts the design language of spacecraft.
This reminds people that when Space X’s interior was announced, many media commented that it was like the interior of a luxury car.
Starting from electric vehicles, they are more than just symbols of transportation, but rather vehicles that transport people from one place to another, just like spaceships. As the boundaries between them become blurred, new expectations for driving tools seem to be ignited again.
