A friend of mine has a 2017 Audi S5. Audi's approach to the infotech displays in that car are simply amazing. Informative, fully programmable, and integrated into the dash styling. What it doesn't look like is half a laptop stuck on a piece of wood.
The design style of the laptop stuck on the dash is not an advancement by any means. The Model S could have been designed in the same manner, yet it has a full gauge cluster and hand controls for vital functions. The Model 3 is simply a cost-cutting design, no other conclusion can be reached. |

You are both correct, I think. Yes the model 3 has some features from the S but it is a scaled down version for cost reasons, as is expected, to a degree. I just wish they picked and chosen more carefully abt where to cut costs relative to the S so as not to cut things that people would want. I personally can't imagine no instrument cluster in front of the driver. It looks like a slight upgrade from a Toyota Yaris. Also I think I heard it has no radio?
