The head of Tesla Ilon Mask likes to repeat that the forthcoming electromobile Model 3 will give way to more expensive relatives only in the level of equipment and a wealth of options, but with regard to automation of control functions will be with them on the same level. The revelations of colleagues from the Electrek website, which published photos of the next prototypes of Tesla Model 3, allow us to once again understand what changes consumers expect at the level of government bodies.
First, the previously formed feeling of a minimalistic design of the front panel is confirmed. The air duct is made "through" the full width of the front panel, but the advanced climate system with a HEPA filter and the "protection against bacteriological weapons" for Tesla Model 3 is not provided. Only the central display is accessible from the instruments, which in this case displays the service information "in debug mode".
The steering column looks quite traditional, although some sources expected that Tesla would come up with something like a "folding helm" that would be removed when switching to "full autopilot" mode. Obviously, until such experiments can not be approved by the bodies responsible for the safety of vehicles. The shift lever is taken for the wheel by the tradition of American cars and Mercedes-Benz, which previously supplied with auto components Tesla. On it, the keen eye
can see not only the four traditional "PRND" positions for vehicles with automatic transmission, but also responsible for the inclusion of the autopilot position. This suggests that Tesla is counting on the popularity of the automatic control system, making similar "ergonomic advances".
In passing, Tesla is developing a program for the sale of certified electric vehicles with mileage, which are supplied with an additional warranty for the battery and power unit. In the US, some examples of Tesla Model S with mileage are estimated at $ 40-50 thousand dollars. The program operates in the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Norway and a number of other markets, where Tesla products are officially presented. Related Products :
