First Look at Tesla's Roadster New User Interface[VIDEO]
Key Points:
- Tesla has revealed the new Roadster's driver interface, featuring a red-on-black sci-fi design inspired by fighter jet cockpits, with a main menu including Home, Vehicle, Listen, Climate, and Navigate tabs.
- The UI offers dynamic visualizations that respond to settings changes, such as suspension lighting up in gold in Dynamics mode and battery pack display during charging, enhancing driver understanding of vehicle functions.
- Track Mode provides a detailed dashboard with brake/throttle inputs, temperature readings, tire pressures, G-meter, live track map, and lap logs, along with adjustable aero and brake balance and thruster system status for performance driving.
- The layout retains familiar elements like climate controls and media at the screen edges, suggesting the UI may be a customized skin over Tesla’s standard software, similar to the Cybertruck’s approach.
- As production is not expected until 2028, the Roadster’s UI design could still evolve, reflecting Tesla’s history of prototype interfaces changing before final release.
