Funny, I guess it is just about what you are used to. I have a Model S and love having the guage cluster in front of me and not having to look over at the main screen. I had a Model Y as a loaner for a day and didn't like not having the guage cluster and looking over at the screen for everything. I'm sure if I owned a Model Y I would probably think differently because I would be used to it.

Strange at first, for sure. You get used to it. One of my gripes was lack of HUD; our RX spoiles you. But after awhile, you notice the top of the tablet is just off your right hand, kinda in line of sight with the lower windshield. All pertinent inf. is right there.
Sounds a little hard to believe, but this was my learning experience. Different? Yes, but actually pretty good. And the simplicity of the clean dash renders our 2 Lexi downright confusing.
The touch screen? I almost never touch it. No need.

Even though people say use the voice commands, I hate that too because besides the fact that you have to tell others to be quiet for a second, you also lose music/audio while you voice your command which is why I don't use it often. For some people that isn't a big deal but when I am listening to music I don't want it to stop while I am giving a command so it's not a good solution for me. The reason I don't love touchscreens is because while I am driving I have to concentrate where I am touching the screen with small icons/buttons (vs. focusing on the road) and when there are small bumps it can cause you to miss the icon/button. That doesn't happen with a wheel. Is it tolerable yes, is it ideal, no.

your *opinions* noted, tiktok is also ENORMOUSLY popular and loved. about the m3/my center screen, i never said it was 'stupid', but i didn't like it before or after i used it. could i get used to it? sure.
agreed.
understood... of course anyone can get used to it. doesn't mean they love it. it's just not a showstopper in the market, obviously.
not sure anyone said it's really 'bad', i just don't like it and yes i've tried it. fwiw, i don't like the skis lop center screen on the rented mercedes i'm driving right now either with no HUD or info i can't get to easily with the steering wheel festooned with controls.
yup, most people can get used to anything. as said, obviously not a showstopper for the tons of people buying tesla 3/y. might not even stop me at some point. just expressing that i don't care for it.

Norway has an 80 percent EV sales rate, with Tesla dominating. Wow. Imaging trying to find your Tesla in a supermarket parking lot in Norway...

Gas cars are way more popular than EVs. Toyota and Lexus sell 5x more cars than Tesla. What is the point you are trying to make again?

Do you know how they compare in terms of cost vs traditional panels? If it were close it’s a no brainer.

As you know, I have both the MSP and MYP....I've gotten accustomed to the gauge cluster now, that when I go to my wife's MYP, it feels awkward. But it only takes a few minutes to get used to again....

I used their estimator a couple of years ago, and it would cost something like $280,000 to do my house with the Tesla roof and a pair of powerwalls for backup, for a 2600 sqft ranch with a pretty low-slope roofline. I'd still be significantly underwater when they eventually wore out.

Granted my home is 1500 sq ft, but here it's not based on square footage, it's based on electricity bill, which I listed as $500 a month (my electricity bill is nowhere near that)
This is the final estimate with Power Walls, also there is a 30 percent Federal Tax credit as well as California state credit

No availability for me and even if I got the tiles themselves I would have to install them myself.
