As if all of this wasn’t bad enough, Tesla unveiled the Model 3 and proved that they have lost all reasonable judgement or ability to think beyond simply lining their minimalist, vegan leather wallets.

Instrument cluster? No, safety comes second at Tesla

I don’t even know where to begin. Let’s start with the fact that at least the Model S had physical air vents. Tesla now expects you to interact with a screen every time the air blowing on your face is too much, then again when it becomes too hot without air blowing on your face, then again when it annoys you again. Just about the only thing you can’t do on the screen is roll the windows down, ironically a function that was tragically lost to electrification decades ago.

And if your screen suddenly goes black? Well, I hope you haven’t left anything important in the glovebox because the only way in there is, you guessed it, the touchscreen. But at least at this point the distraction is gone. Perhaps a blessing in disguise!

My biggest problem is the lack of an instrument cluster. This is a safety hazard of a design that has been tried by many car manufacturers before, all of which were complete failures. The Saturn ION (sold for 5 years before GM realized what a terrible mistake they had made), the Mini (sold for over half a century but sure to be redesigned any day now), the Toyota Yaris (a dash design that could only come from Japan), and most recently the Prius Prime (Toyota’s latest attempt at capturing the eco-freak market, I give it a year before the speedometer placement leads to so many accidents that Toyota cancels the car). It’s no wonder you can’t go anywhere online without hearing how terrible it is to drive these cars.
