Why would you want buttons where your fingers are when there's this great ipad right next to it!

An actually good voice recognition implementation would get rid of the need for buttons on the wheel.

Meanwhile, let's talk about cars that you can buy in the US before the Model 3: http://www.automobilemag.com/news/p...&adbpr=14332852 I will poo poo my pants laughing if this is true and then I will put a grand down on a DS3 Prestige 1.6 in Belle-Ile Blue with a Topaz roof.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:That could totally work though? Yes, I would much prefer saying "turn the volume up two notches" (first figuring out how much louder I want it and translating that into notches, of course) to just turning a knob with my fingers for two seconds. Voice controls/digital personal assistants are great when they automate a multi step task, like "record this memo and send it to Bob." They're wasteful and slow for something you can do yourself in less time than saying the command. No one with a secretary is going to say "Sarah, come in here and turn up the volume on my computer."

fknlo posted:About 1.5 years according to Tesla's own stuff. Which isn't a whole lot of time in the car world to go from your concept with a crooked logo on the steering wheel to a completely ready for production model with the newest iPad for your instrument cluster/HVAC/everything. wrt rock chips, my windshield had a rock chip, the local safelite did it for 50 bucks to repair, and most people will do that most likely, since auto glass is auto glass.

I wouldn't mind federally legislated tactile controls for all things that the driver would expect to manage (radio and climate counts). It's not like we forgot how to manufacture buttons and switches. Just no touchscreens. Get rid of them. Forever.

It'll have to happen eventually. I can see a touchscreen making sense for stuff like entering an address, or adjusting the stereo eq or whatever but it should only be possible to use it with the car stopped and the parking brake on.

I guarantee half the gun flipper/iphone flipper types that lined up for 3 days to buy one near me in Sacramento, CA think they can flip their spots for a few grand to some overpaid SF wankers/ettes. We live in a flipper economy.

Several sites are claiming that Tesla employees at the event said that the dash setup (or lack of one) was final, for what it's worth.

Is it that loving hard to look behind you? Edit: Oh wait, yes, of course it is when modern cars have such awful rear visibility because of their ridiculously high beltlines.

I've seen plenty of broken/shattered panoramic roof glass. Have fun cleaning glass crumbs out of your headliner if it ever happens to you.

Disgruntled Bovine posted:Are you serious? They're really mandating backup cameras? Is it that loving hard to look behind you? Yes, by 2018 every car sold in America needs a backup camera. People keep backing over kids. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/03/31/nhtsa-rear-view-cameras/7114531/ dissss posted:Just because there is a screen it doesn't mean it needs to be touch, and even if it is it doesn't mean that essential controls need to be part of it. It's cheaper and easier to just utilize your existing screen stuck in your console and implement the controls via software. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but if you're required to have a screen for your backup camera in the car then you're gonna see automakers putting to use when in drive as well.
