Screen obsolete? Software stop working? That's not how any of that works. Go turn on a TV or phone from 10years ago... yes, it's fine. It just need an input. Software may cease to get updated, but it will still perform the functions built into it. Outdated and obsolete aren't the same. If the hardware breaks, it breaks, but it's not just gonna stop working because of time. It can be outdated, and connectivity may get discontinued, but the thought of "throwing it away" after 5 years is dumb. Now the privacy and viability of this product is a different story.

I'd be more worried about replacement costs. A custom made 48" screen for a specific car model is not going to be cheap to replace, especially if it's not just a screen but a module with all sorts of hardware built in. It only takes an unfortunate bump, or even a few unfortunate dead pixels, to require a swap. If you had two smaller screens and physical buttons the cost would be much lower. Honestly, that could be more expensive to change than the battery.

If it's still running the original software, maybe... but as we've seen with e.g. mobiles, more and more features etc get added over the years as 'free' updates - resulting in first-gen hardware slowing down to the point of being unusable... and not every company provides a way to uninstall those updates, or roll back to an earlier (faster) version, etc.

When foreign brands come to China, the Chinese government only charges a 5% import tax as a WTO member. And yet, when China can make good cars, the foreign nations charge upward of 20% tariffs, in the name of National Security. But what is more annoying is that those same governments do not charge the same amount of tariffs on Japanese and Korean cars.

One of the main advantages of a screen is that the interface and controls can be expanded and modified over time. The Tesla user interface has had a number of additions and revisions which add features to the car that didn't exist when I bought it! If the dashboard consisted of fixed switches you wouldn't be able to do this. There's therefore less chance of a screen going "out of date" than a traditional dashboard control layout.

It's in a different category like a Samsung Galaxy so it's not an issue. Geely make cars, Ford make jokes, not the same at all.

Would you be able to do a test drive of the Luxeed S7. It's got a lot of new tech on paper.

Just wondering if the screen was smaller, the car could get cheaper? I don't think we need that size of screen.

Good try

8 k resolution screen ? The screen alone is almost 20k in the US 😊

I was about to write that I would like do see a 8 to 10 year test of this car when Elliot questioned himself about the durability/reliabity of all the tech 😁

Hatchbacks are always better I think

@mullergyula4174 Месяц назад

Hatchbacks are more practical, you just won't get 0.19 Cd value, you would get less range.

People talking about how much it costs to buy a car, come to Australia, where the average car costs 50-70% more than every other country.

@user-jr2fk9zh4j Месяц назад

That'd be $21,471.78 in the USA, where it will never see the light of day, unfortunately. I'd jump at the chance to own one,, but I'm an old person, so...

Does it toast bread, though? 😂

Dont give them any more ideas.

The longevity of the screen is a worry for me also. I recently upgraded my Mitubishi Outlander PHEV to a used Kia E Niro. My budget allowed for either a Tesla Model 3 OR the E Niro. My budget isn’t inexhaustible and I tight with my cash. With the Tesla, I worry about the screen, controlling everything, and how much I’d have to pay to replace/repair it. With the Kia, I’ve got physical buttons, so if the screen fops on me - as long as I can still drive the car, I’d probably cheap out and drive it as-is.. I DO like the screen, but I’d not pay big money to replace it. The Geely is a nice car - I’d love to know the range and stats

@DeterminedFC Месяц назад

i mean the car only costs 20k so if the screen costs 3-5k to replace its not such a deal

@aliruane Месяц назад

Well it will cost twice as much in the UK but even at 38 Grand people will buy this. I won’t but I do think it’s pretty cool.

It’s great that it’ll be sold internationally later this year. Not for 20k though, I’m pretty sure. You have to add shipping costs, service and the EU import tariffs, so half of your money will automatically go to your government.😂
