Details
Summary
The Model 3 has no instrument cluster and very few switches, leaving one landscape touchscreen to run almost everything.
Specifications
Cockpit
Instrument cluster
Speed, gear, indicators and driving information appear on the driver's side of the centre touchscreen.
Centre display
Runs at 1920×1200, with the map filling most of the screen beside the driving information.
Added a web browser, calendar and real-time energy monitoring to the Model 3.
V12 and the Grok assistant (update 2025.26) need the AMD Ryzen computer.
Controls
Two column stalks remain, for the indicators and the gear selector, and the hazard button sits in the overhead console.
Facts
- The touchscreen also sets the climate, the music and the wiper speed.[4][5]
- The front vent is one slot spanning the dashboard with no visible slats; its internal louvres are aimed by dragging on the touchscreen.[5][6]
- Two scroll wheels on the steering wheel replace the fixed buttons of earlier Teslas and also adjust the mirrors and steering column through the screen.[5]
- Elon Musk said drivers would not care about the missing instrument panel.[3]
