the screen is way to big and overdone, and to much of a flat surface that ruins the rest of the design from the interior. Men do like real buttons and switches, so this
large flatpanel should schrink to a normal widescreen, and fit some buttons under it.
That wil look alot better than this fragile but very very very very expencive looking screen.

That is sick, however my diesel jetta that's nearly 12 years old now can go over 700 miles on a 14 gallon tank, and we get the fuel for free from old grease restaurants. So I'm not down with the electric stuff quite yet...
True Free energy devices exist,But some very powerfull ppl don't want you and me to be free from energy costs,Get a real free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Join the energy revolution!

Those darn scientists with their inconvenient facts and figures... noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2010/20100715_globalstats.html
I know... NOAA must be part of the cabal scheming to fool us all into believing the planet is getting warmer. Let's for a second assume man-caused global warming is a lie. Do you see any national security and domestic economic benefits related to increased domestic production of energy (unless you are from a country that is a (net) oil exporter)?
@utoobfancjo Yes, because all of a sudden carbon dioxide will cease to exist if we stop using internal combustion engines. Oh wait.....where else does carbon dioxide come from genius? Yeah, that darn scientific *FACT* always gets in the way of so-called 'statistics.' You must have been born last week considering that you have no idea what Climate Gate is and you dont know where carbon dioxide comes from.
@utoobfancjo Please elaborate what you mean by 'national security'? And what that has to do with oil? You have so far not provided *any* coherent facts at all whatsoever to back up *any* of the idiotic claims you have made. So yes, you have earned being called names because you *are* an idiot.
The 'warmest on record'? Record of what? 10 years? Wow!!!! And the earth is how many years old? Yeah, you are indeed an idiot.
@itloads i agree, Tesla is such a innovative company i mean look at the Roadster we all thought a 100% electric sports car was great, and now this have is masterpiece so yes i hope they people can back Tesla and they can continue to make cars that we couldnt even imagine
@gstreetfee Its a revolution. 40 Years ago if you told someone about a wireless telephone they wouldnt believe its possible. Is it now the time to say that in the future all cars are going to be electric?? No one will believe you!

Lithium is plentiful, we won't be running out for a while. Electricity can be cleanly produced, gas can't. Don't listen to anyone who makes it sound like gas engines are just as clean as electric, they are talking out of their ass and don't have a clue. Batteries on these cars are promised to last 100,000 miles. What happens when they are spent? You can salvage the lithium and recycle them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
These cars use Lithium-ion. Lithium-ion batteries are expensive for a reason. The resources to produce them are limited and the longevity is even more limited. Which means they need constant replacement. Replacing an item that's scarce drives up the cost.
BTW, How is Electricity produced? At the coal fired plants, the nuclear (Waste) plants, and fossil-fuel burning power generation plants.
These cars add pollution & tremendous amounts of electricity that the world is already using & paying for.
@halcyon0830 Potentially good point on the batteries; I am not sure if the costs are high because of limited resources or because volumes are not yet high enough to justify the capital investments to make batteries more cheaply. In general, I definitely agree that battery technology needs to improve. And it will, as the demand increases (driven in part by electric vehicles).
@halcyon0830 As it relates to the source of energy to charge the battery, I specifically purchase clean / renewable energy from PG&E so the electrons will not come from coal (perhaps Nuclear... but that is ok by me). Even if I didn't purchase clean energy, the efficiencies of coal power plants pollute *much* less than internal combustion engines in cars. Plus, energy in California (where I live) is already very clean: 20% comes from coal, 30% from Natural gas. The rest is renewable / nuclear.
Check out "Electric_car" in Wikipedia ("Carbon dioxide emissions" section). Electric cars offer 50% CO2 emissions savings using the US grid which is 45% coal-based. CO2 emission savings will increase as energy production becomes cleaner in the US (like California). And if one doesn't believe carbon emissions are a major cause of global warming (??!!), EVs can help with both national security by keeping energy profits domestic? I don't see a drawback with EVs.
@halcyon0830 I can't stand people trying to blackwash electric cars. It's such a shame. You're evil people, you know that? People like you don' care about the children with asthma (caused by combustion-cars) suffering from the smog in California. Shame on you.
@halcyon0830 every element there is is limited . i could say that water is limited but for anyone who has been to the beach knows that even though water in a finite resource three is so much that its nothing to worry about
@halcyon0830 Why has this comment received so many negative votes? It's basically all verifiable fact. The only good thing about electric is it eliminates the point source of pollution, and instead shifts it to the power plant. This is NOT saving the planet at all, but it is arguable better this way so efforts can be shifted to reduce pollution at one or two points, rather than millions of points (cars).
@cptstubing that's not the only good thing about electric cars.
They're quieter - and don't give me that myth about them being so quiet pedestrians are at risk - this only truly applies to car parks and speeds where road and wind noises are at a minimum.
They don't have gears so driving overall is a smoother and less stressful experience.
@halcyon0830 Yet more myths spread by about electric cars. Le sigh.
Modern Lithium cars have a battery longevity of 7-10 years. Not good enough? After that, batteries can be used as a backup home power supply, or swapped for a fresh one; the old ones are recycled/used for other purposes.
Electricity produced at the power plants is TREMENDOUSLY more efficient than an individual ICE. Without even counting the fact oil is drilled, REFINED (using guess what, electricity!) then transported also
@halcyon0830 Therefore, your comment was hidden for a reason. It's full of myths that you are only perpetuating because you decided to sound so confident having... failed to do some research?
touch screen?.. is it safer to operate while driving? i fucking hate to use the mobile with touch screen wen driving. find the regular ones easier to use
btw how is the electronical system of the car... Is it reliable in long time? I just cant trust a car fully electronical , but this car is the most silent and easy to drive one I think, which is awsome

That center console, with the touch display and all... it's computer software dependable. That means upgrades, mods, and unfortunately viruses. Hope that the computer can't control everything in the car, otherwise there's going to be a lot of issues with hackers controling your $50k supercar
When the car hits the market late 2011 it will have a force feedback LCD touch screen with a less reflective surface.
I wouldn't be surprised if they use OLED instead since they consume way less power which would make it easier on the batteries and have a sharper picture.
Whatever man, focus on the road when you have to focus on the road. Work the touch screen when you are at a red light, stopped on the side of a road or in a parking light, or when you are in traffic. It's really no big deal.
Buttons= VERY BAD IDEA. How do you suppose operate it without taking eyes of the road. Touch screen i think is an excellent move. Saves cash and it's very flexible. A downside here though is that they have a very reflective one. Nightmare to use when sun shines.
WRONG buttons EVEN A BLIND PERSON CAN USE! Are you saying buttons are harder to use without taking your eyes of the road? Think about it. Once you know the feel of the button you will know how to press it without looking! I do it all the time by cahnging my radio preset.
How often do you use the radio/AC without looking at it? You have to be the first. How could a blind person use it? Last time i checked there werent any "blind-marks" on the buttons surfaces. He just gotta press and hope that it was the right one.
Why have anything that can distract you from the road in the car? Windows, powerlocks... You might have to take your eyes off the road to use that right? Let's get rid of that, using that will distract you from the road. Oh my God, we should probably get rid of radios for sure... STOP, why don't we wait a minute and use some common sense? Someone who doesn't know how to apply any common sense to dangerous situations... probably won't be able to buy this car anyway.
@rikavalos right on rika!! lol What I'll have on my Tesla is clear stickers positioned on controls that stay the same -- once you have your screen 'decked out', you could place small, clear, textured, flexable stickers for your buttons. Also, in time it'll become second nature for the 'reach' ;) Things are still being dialed up w/this car OLED's and more are on the way.
What an exciting car, killer
oh BTW my/that idea is pat. pending... lol Remember me when they do that on the cars!!! ;)
They can use a matte screen and jack up the brightness. The energy consumption for the extra brightness would be insignificant relative to the size of the battery.
What they also need is some kind of tactile feedback. Perhaps a pulse of vibration accompanied by a clicking sound to indicate a button has been pressed.
I love the touch screen, but KypHem has a valid point. Every well designed dashboard that I've ever used can easily be navigated without taking one's eyes of the road. Not every dash is well engineered, but once you own a car that has a dash with some thought put into it, it can be very frustrating to return to one that requires you to look down to find the buttons.
wonder how much does if cost for monthly electic payment? $50 thousands and the car can go 480km with 45min charge and topspead 208km/hr and 0-100km only 5.6sec

o biraz zor. bildiğim kadarıyla o teslimatlar amerika için geçerli, belki avrupa da dahil.. her zamanki gibi bize en geç ve en pahalı olarak gelecek 80.000TL den aşağı olursa bu model çok şaşırtır beni. kıçı kırık prius bile 40.000euro satış fiyatıyla girdi Türkiye pazarına

That center console, with the touch display and all... it's computer software dependable. That means upgrades, mods, and unfortunately viruses. Hope that the computer can't control everything in the car, otherwise there's going to be a lot of issues with hackers controling your $50k supercar

When the car hits the market late 2011 it will have a force feedback LCD touch screen with a less reflective surface.
I wouldn't be surprised if they use OLED instead since they consume way less power which would make it easier on the batteries and have a sharper picture.

I agree, the price of oled's drops like 40% yearly now that the technology is begining to mature.

Whatever man, focus on the road when you have to focus on the road. Work the touch screen when you are at a red light, stopped on the side of a road or in a parking light, or when you are in traffic. It's really no big deal.

Touchscreen = VERY BAD IDEA. How do you suppose to operate it without taking eyes of the road

Buttons= VERY BAD IDEA. How do you suppose operate it without taking eyes of the road. Touch screen i think is an excellent move. Saves cash and it's very flexible. A downside here though is that they have a very reflective one. Nightmare to use when sun shines.
hvonralvert 2 years ago 4
WRONG buttons EVEN A BLIND PERSON CAN USE! Are you saying buttons are harder to use without taking your eyes of the road? Think about it. Once you know the feel of the button you will know how to press it without looking! I do it all the time by cahnging my radio preset.
TOUCHSCREEN IN THE CAR = ACCIDENT
KypHeM 2 years ago
How often do you use the radio/AC without looking at it? You have to be the first. How could a blind person use it? Last time i checked there werent any "blind-marks" on the buttons surfaces. He just gotta press and hope that it was the right one.

Why have anything that can distract you from the road in the car? Windows, powerlocks... You might have to take your eyes off the road to use that right? Let's get rid of that, using that will distract you from the road. Oh my God, we should probably get rid of radios for sure... STOP, why don't we wait a minute and use some common sense? Someone who doesn't know how to apply any common sense to dangerous situations... probably won't be able to buy this car anyway.

That is just silly but DESIGN needs to be ergonomic! There is not excuse for that.
KypHeM 2 years ago
@rikavalos right on rika!! lol What I'll have on my Tesla is clear stickers positioned on controls that stay the same -- once you have your screen 'decked out', you could place small, clear, textured, flexable stickers for your buttons. Also, in time it'll become second nature for the 'reach' ;) Things are still being dialed up w/this car OLED's and more are on the way.
What an exciting car, killer
oh BTW my/that idea is pat. pending... lol Remember me when they do that on the cars!!! ;)

They can use a matte screen and jack up the brightness. The energy consumption for the extra brightness would be insignificant relative to the size of the battery.
What they also need is some kind of tactile feedback. Perhaps a pulse of vibration accompanied by a clicking sound to indicate a button has been pressed.

I love the touch screen, but KypHem has a valid point. Every well designed dashboard that I've ever used can easily be navigated without taking one's eyes of the road. Not every dash is well engineered, but once you own a car that has a dash with some thought put into it, it can be very frustrating to return to one that requires you to look down to find the buttons.
