- Only physical controls are the shifter, turn signals, wiper and hazard lights.
Pros
- Fonts are big, screen layout is very logical, and with large clear graphics.
- Buttons are big and responsive, enough to look once, touch once, and be confident it will work.
- Allows users to place two different functions in different panels at the same time.
- The speedometer is displayed on another screen, which also shows battery charge, satnav directions and the display for Tesla’s semi-autonomous Autopilot function. (This could also be a Con as there are arguably too many features accompanying the speedometer.)
- Buttons on the wheel allow to control some features/settings without having to use the touch screen. Some of the features/options that you can control from the wheel can be personalised.
Cons
- Big potential for distraction.
- Swiping, dragging and tapping is required to scroll through the very many options/settings.
- Without physical buttons to feel, you need to look away from the road to target the screen.
- Works only using a 3G/Wi-fi signal.
- The design, components and manufacturing process that went into the cars infotainment and instrumentation systems have more in common with a tablet/smartphone than a conventional car.
- The main module is the most complex design seen in a car, containing more than 5000 discrete components, 1000 more than the highest-end infotainment unit previously seen.
- Includes a web browser, which can be distracting and dangerous whilst driving.
- All options/settings are present, which makes the display feel over-crowded.
