I have no idea why Tesla tries to revolutionize the user interface of cars at the same time with their powertrains - as if they don't have enough risk on their plate. There is a reason every car built in the last 50 years looks drives roughly in the same way: it's a highly tuned design language that has evolved incrementally alongside the drivers, so that everyone can get into any car and drive it, without risking to find out the brake and acceleration pedals are reversed.

How does a radically new interior design help Tesla and their long term growth targets? Is it much cheaper to manufacture? Does it give drivers that learn the new paradigm a phenomenally better experience (no, it does not)?

If my opinion has any relevance, they should stick to improving performance, range and efficiency, price and vehicle reliability. Just leave the damn dashboard be already, a UX revolution is a turnoff for an bitter old fart like me, not a selling point.

It's more like 80 years now, if we're talking about things like the steering wheel, order of the pedals, and the directional indicator stalk.
