What Tesla’s Model 3 UI Reveals About Its Vision for the Future
To be honest, that dampened my excitement for the model 3 a notch.<p>In order for that design to make sense in today&#x27;s model 3, it would mean that very car is just a software update away from autonomy at &quot;we are all watching netflix instead of looking outside&quot; level. And that software update is coming very soon, in a matter of maximum 2-3 years.<p>I&#x27;m skeptical. I can very well see the next Model S, or the refreshed model 3 in 5 years achieve that [1], but really that&#x27;s sacrificing today Model 3 user for something that&#x27;s going to never be delivered to them. Not sure I like the approach of &quot;this is a glimpse of the future that is not for you&quot;.<p>I don&#x27;t think that there is much need for a lot of button, don&#x27;t get me wrong. To me, just somewhat more feature full lever around the wheel - nothing fancy, just the same you get on most cars and a hud so that the rest of the family can indeed watch Netflix while the driver does not lose completely every driving information. Job done, a taste of the future, but not completely compromised experience for the poor sod that has to drive in the present.<p>[1] A lot of people that know more than me are skeptical this is even possible short term, but with no money at stake I&#x27;m happy to dream.
