I couldn't stop feeling like this page is nothing else but a promotion for "Model S" which is "superior and now" rather than the other car which is "inferior and 1 year later". Price would've been the biggest (and only) reason for "Model 3" but it's not shown on the page. Added extra details for "Model 3" is a nice trick to boost virality of the promotion aimed at its target audience -- potential Model 3 buyers. Well…

No, Tesla and Elon have been very clear that there'll be a single central display only that will also display the speed/directions/etc. Tesla's don't have analogue displays.
Having to look down and over to see the speed seems like a big change from basically every other car on the road. Is this even within regulations in most places?

Plus, directions/speed will be shown in the top-left of the screen.

I have used a GPS speedo on my screenmounted device for years, and looking down and forwards for my speed seems unnatural now.
You get used to it.
I think musk dropped the ball here. A decontented 35-40k model 3 should be available. They should also allow you to option the price up for luxury and performance like the A4/S4/RS4 or 320/328/335/m3. That should make this vehicle both profitable and more aspirational.
Don't want to be too aspirational until it's actually available for sale. Otherwise everyone aspiring to own one will just wait.
The salient difference is the free use of supercharger for Model S.
Hmm, in my case, not at all. Depends on your location and use case. In my London situation, 95% of my journeys will be within 50 miles easily. I imagine it's more of an issue in the US and similar.
However, I don't have a garage or even a house. I park on the street and I would need at least 1 weekly trip to some charging station.
In the 5% times I go over that distance, I will need to stop to charge when leaving and coming back ( considering I have never driven in the direction of a SuperCharger, so the only one available is in London )
So well, it was already a stretch to adapt my lifestyle to accomodate a Tesla, this missing feature is like a mail from Musk explaining me I'm definitively not the target demographic for his car.

This will be interesting.
