Good for Tesla. I have seen and sat in, the Model S at their showroom in the Park Meadows Mall in Denver (well, south of Denver). It is an impressive looking car and everything just feels right. I have not driven it, however.

That screen in the center console is huge. Was it on and if so how was it to use? Looks pretty useful for mapping.

does anyone else think that screen is a bit too much?

I thought so, but when I got to see one 'in action' its a lot less of an issue. In terms of surface area the intrument panel on most cars is about equivalent, its just shaped into a long dashboardy kind of thing.

I worry about glass shards in a side collision though.
