The 12 coolest features inside the Tesla Model 3

Feb 17, 2018, 19:38 IST

1. The Tesla Model 3's minimalist interior. It's virtually devoid of buttons. The design is simple, functional, and easily upgradeable in the future.

2. Almost everything runs through the Model 3's massive 15-inch central touchscreen infotainment display. This system is effectively the brain of the car. It also replaces the instrument cluster.

3. The Model FM and internet streaming radio was designed and developed in-house by Tesla. It sounds terrific.

4. Due to the lack of buttons and switchgear, the Model 3 uses steering wheel's two scrolls for a multitude of tasking ranging from changing the volume to adjusting the mirrors.

5. With the 15-inch display, the image from the backup camera is massive with good clarity.

6. Tesla Autopilot. Enhanced Autopilot is a $5,000 option on our test car. The system is essentially a super advanced cruise control. When activated, the system controlled the car's throttle, brakes, and steering. It worked well for us on the highway, but you still have to remain vigilant and in command of the car.

7. The Model 3's hidden air vents. Tesla hid the car's air vents inside a long narrow crevice running the length of the front dash. It looks really cool.

8. Digital vent controls. With the vents buried inside the dash, adjustments are made using the touchscreen.

9. App control. There's no physical key or button to push. To start the Model 3, you need access to the app that can also control a variety of other functions.

10. The card. In case of emergency or for valet access, Tesla does provide a key card. Simply tap the card on the car's b-pillar to the unlock doors. Tap the card again on the center console to start the car.

11. Built-in charging docks: Tesla built a pair of charging docks into the center stack of the Model 3. One dock is for iPhones and the other is for Android devices.

12. Glass roof. Our top-spec Longer Range test car came with a glass roof. The roof delivered spectacular views of New York's skyscrapers.
