they are the most advanced company in cost-cutting. They will put everything in 10 sub menus on the screen instead of costly buttons. And the people are confused, they see big screen they think cool. But having metal physical buttons and crowns with haptic feedback is just on another level ๐Ÿคค. Especially those crowns where theres a silent click that you feel with every turn. Feels so fricking good damn.

Why is The Witcher featured on the Tesla screen?

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The center screen is basically a fully functional tablet (video streaming and all), in addition being the the only console in the car. Tesla has tried to differentiate themselves with this. I personally do see some appeal, particularly as most cars have absurdly under-powered infotainment systems that simply shouldn't exist. If one is going to include one, the menus should at least scroll smoothly and screens load quickly.

If I remember correctly, you can play witcher 3 in a Tesla. (My bad, I didn't read the comment above)

Yikes, that is incredibly dangerous. Hopefully, they get recalled to fix that issue. No turn signal stick is going to cause a lot of accidents if people are unfamiliar with the car or are spinning the steering wheel and pressing the wrong button (or no buttons, because it's too difficult).

But you can watch Netflix on it!

But not disney+ because you bought a car from a manchild.

Sometimes I need to disable the limiter, which happens to be a button in the same position as Tesla put the turn signal buttons, while in a turn, and it's just impossible.

Does anyone remember K.I.T.T from Knight Rider in the 80's?

Same steering wheel! Haha

But K.I.T.T. actually delivered on the full self driving part.
