Reactions to the Model X

[PV4EV]

I love the floating display look. Much better and more modern looking than the attempt at integration.

Would be even more stunning if (somehow..) the entire thing retracted into the dash as well !!

Yes, I thought so too.
Some people seem to dislike it though. Hopefully they will warm up to it over time.

Yup, plus the S does NOT have the dividers and it was a point of contention for many. I, for one, am glad to see that there on the X.

Incorrect, the Model S HAS the dividers. See my (somewhat crappy) photo of the Signature Red Beta.



Edit: you call this a thumbnail?

^This^ ... I've relied upon being able to do this in virtually every car I've ever owned ! (although it might be less of a habit amongst people with shorter legs than I)

I too have always rested my leg there. My GTI also has a bar I use as a 'grab handle' there for when I take a clover leaf exit REALLY fast.

Well, good then, glad to see it's there.

I think the floating display is better too. It solves the design constriction dilemma.

The entire dash might have many more angles than desigener would have wanted because you can't have a rigid square screen shape in a curvy space. You have to echo it on some design level. When curved glass can conform to a curved dash (corning video) then it will be amazing.

Yep, I've said elsewhere that I'm hoping (possibly against hope) that the screen and steering wheel make it into the Model S production vehicles. The steering wheel can be retrofitted, but not the screen (since you'd have to change the whole dash)

I was told directly by my customer rep that the interior of the Model S was going to be what we've seen, at least to the level of "if you take your glasses off" broader strokes. I take that to mean that things like the steering wheel design are open, but the layout of the display is not.

Not sure if this question has been asked. Is the Model X that we all saw at the unveiling considered the Alpha version or a concept?
