Considering the conduct and holier-than-thou attitude of Tesla owners at car meets, it is an insightful observation.

So far your posts are corresponding with it too.

My biggest complaint with any of today's screen, at least what I've been around, is they need to be turn towards the driver and closer to the driver. They are very unsafe to operate while driving.

The Tesla screen is cool, but it's so big that there really isn't a way to incorporate it into the design of the interior.

Also, for $100k+, that car's interior is really unimpressive. However, I am very excited to see the next generation of the Model S as well as the debut of the Model 3, which has been pushed back several times already.

It will be interesting to see how their vehicles improve as they learn and are able to achieve economies of scale with the new battery factory.

Yes very cool, if your using it stationary, while driving its just a giant distraction. you need some buttons and stuff to break it up, that 17" inch tablet just looks weird sitting in the middle of the dash like that. It is fun to drive too, but the lack of sound just kills the experience for me.

Bingo.

Dude gets mad at an observation that tons of Tesla owners (and fans) are d-bags, acts like a d-bags in defense, actually proves point.

From what I have read the ZL1 and Z/28 are both very entertaining....

I just hope it has some sort of rotary knob to help make selections easier. Using a touch screen to scroll through music for instance is absolutely awful while driving unless you live where roads are 100% smooth. It's incredibly dangerous too.

That would be even better. I don't have the touch screen in my 5th gen so I'm not sure how it works currently. I do love the look of the screen over my plain radio though.

I just have the regular radio in my Camaro also but it came with the steering wheel controls, my Spark has the Mylink radio and also has the steering wheel controls.
