Changing display of speed.better use of the main panel

I just want a big old-school analog speed dial centered in the display. I find that gives the easiest sense of the rate-of-change of speed when I'm driving, which I don't get nearly as well from the numeric speed read-out.
 
Related - the first time I took my wife for a ride in my Tesla, and was showing off all the tech, she said “this car wants you to do everything except pay attention to driving “. She’s not wrong.

For me, when I get the "Pay Attention" warning, I know I've been looking at something on a screen too much/too long.
I even talk back to my car with "Ok, ok".

Everyone is different.

I'd be fine with it if it was actually accurate and only warned me when I was actually distracted, but the constant alerts when I've just barely looked down at the lower screen, or when I'm looking a bit off to the side(but can still see forward), or when my hand has just blocked the screen for a few seconds drive me nuts, so I had to disable it.

I've experienced that at times as well.
I keep it enabled just in case it is for a valid reason.

Similar to the "Consider Taking a Break" message.
In those instances, I move my head or eyes some and it goes away.

I'll put up with the false positives for the sake of the valid positives.

I did keep the drowsy driver setting enabled just in case. ALTHOUGH... I tried testing it by acting drowsy a few times, imitating what I've experienced in the distant past when I've nearly fallen asleep while driving, like head sagging, eyes drooping (as close to closed as I was willing to do while driving on the freeway), occasional head-jerk up, etc.

Nothing triggered the warning, so I'm unclear as to whether it'll really work or what it looks for.

It does work. My wife and I have gotten it a few times; it was right all but once.
 
Utterly absurd comment. Wanting different display options has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH DISTRACTED DRIVING.

ridiculous.
Yes it does--the screen is in the car. You should primarily be looking outside the car. Ridiculous to call that ridiculous.

I had it trigger for the first time yesterday. Amusingly I was in Park sitting in the car waiting for my wife who had run in somewhere for a few minutes. I was listening to some Atmos tracks on Tidal with my head back and eyes closed when the car starting making bonging noises at me, I opened my eyes to find the drowsy warning. Good to see it works but odd for it to trigger when stationary in Park.

Haha I’ve never had it trigger in Park. That’s pretty funny. “YOU'RE TIRED AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO SLEEP. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED TAKING A NAP?”

Kinda like a timer.
"Ok. Nap times over. Wake up".

That is odd.

Hopefully that doesn't happen for you in Sanctuary mode.

Maybe try it and see.

I suppose consistently, accurately working is the challenge.

It hasn't yet and we've watched the 4 videos multiple times over the week. I almost fell asleep to the singing bowls one while sitting at a Supercharger the other day. 🤣

I've gotta try those videos.
I've seen a few seconds of 1 or 2, but nothing more.

This is more of what I was getting at regarding customization and the watch analogy upthread. Even with additional data on the screen I would think you just want secondary information that you can glance at and easily find, such as moving the odometer from a swipe to just a smaller space on the main screen. I'd also like to have all the battery/range info in one spot. For other stuff, I'd be okay with a cloud or rain icon, but not like, stocks or news headlines 😂

Fwiw the speed indicator feels oddly sized to me. It's the biggest thing on there but not demandingly huge, it's dependent upon the negative space for your eyes' attention. TBH I don't look at it much though with speed up on the HUD.

Customizations of look/theme sound nice; the Apple watch analogy.
I'm in favor of having the choice to customize the screen look, including icons.
Same info currently provided, but in varying formats. Analog vs. digital speed example.

The challenge is to not turn the 34" screen into a smartphone screen full of icons and widgets.
If people are given that option, not good.
Relevant info necessary for driving, nothing more or the stock widgets/news headlines will appear.
 
While I agree, I think there must be a reason no manufacturer has done this. Perhaps it's difficult to offer a large variety of dashboard options without running up against some outdated safety regulations.

An absolutely horrible display, IMHO.

If you want Times Square in your face while you drive, go for it. Just give me the option to turn off the shows I don't want to watch while driving.
 
Why not allowed swiping the panels on the right screen (Clearview) to ve swiped left to main screen? I'd love to see realrims energy graph, playing music, real-time nav data (next turn, upcoming changes) visible in front of my eyes.
