Those cars are undoubtedly impressive, but I hate the interiors. Screens should be integrated into the center console and nowhere near the gauge cluster.

I tend to agree; I think BYD's latest Seagull strikes the balance well, though it could do with more buttons and dials

Ngl that interior looks like shit. Looks like a 2010 car except for the large screen.

I haven't driven a car newer than 2009 (mine is from 1993) so I have no idea, but considering how cheap the seagull is for an electric, this is the best you're gonna get for a techy car these days.

Just checked the price and holy shit is it cheap (slightly less than $10,000), that's an incredible price for a full electric car, that's how much the cheapest ICE cars cost like 5 years ago.

We could always do without the 13 inch laptop screens being directly below where the driver is supposed to look…..

I still don't like that one. I generally am not a fan of ipad glued to the dashboard. The 8" screen in my Infiniti is basically the limit of what I'll tolerate. I love screens outside of my car, but I'm a hater when it comes to being in the car

Only a matter of time before all the windows and windshields are just one giant LED panel

That'd be awful, but at least it wouldn't be an iPad glued to the dashboard. I hate that Tesla-inspired look so much

I actually like digital gauge clusters. Being able to see the exact speed you're going displayed as a big number is so much better than having to guess based on the position of a hand overlaid on some tiny numbers.

Also, imagine being unable to configure the positioning of elements, see the instant fuel consumption, or change between mph and km/h.

[-] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

I like the hybrid designs. I just don't like when they replace the whole cluster
