What is the inside of Tesla Model S?

Interior 

The Model 3 is just as stark as the Model S. The dash is a slab of wood, a full-width air vent and a 15.4-inch screen, not the larger portrait screen found in earlier versions of the S. The only physical buttons you can find in the cabin are two scroll wheels on the steering wheel. Since the 3 isn't a hatch, you have to use a notchback boot and split folding rear seats, although you can fit longer objects in.

Drop the back seats and a double blow up mattress in perfectly, some companies make custom ones that pack up neatly in the boot. There were a lot of plastic switchgear and multiple screens and sockets. The Model 3 has suffered from bugs like sticking windows, so make sure you check it out before you accept delivery. You have to find a sub-menu to adjust the steering column reach and rake. And your current speed.

The Model 3 should include a head-up display for such vitals. If you want to have fun tweaking your steering weight, how much re-gen braking you want, and if you want the turn signal to make a fart sound, you can dive into the settings menu. This isn't a car you can understand in the first five minutes. Like a new phone, you need to commit some time to learning the shortcuts, locating the settings you need and learning how to use them.

The touchscreen operation is wonderful. The menus are easy to navigate, the graphics are industry-leading for sharpness, and the reaction times are iPad-like. You can have fun exploring some of the Easter eggs that are there for no reason other than to make you and your passengers laugh. Modes like the Mars button that turns the map into the surface of the Red Planet, the Santa setting which turns your car into a sleigh, the road into a rainbow and other road users into reindeer, or the vast array of old arcade games you can.

When you discover the racing games, which employ the car's actual steering wheel and pedals, will do your tyres no good as they're dry-steered about while you aim for a new high-score Exactly, when was the last time you played in-built Mario Kart? There is a new way to do interiors, where how you have fun when you are waiting for a charge is just as important as the boring old business of regular transport.
