Tesla’s Model S Features Fully Digital Control Surfaces — 2013 Detroit Auto Show
Tesla Motors unveiled the first car to include a 17-inch touch screen control surface. The Model S uses touch screen technology to give you a functional display mounted in the dashboard. The screen can be used for simple functions like Google Maps, climate control functions, radio, etc. The touch display also can be used for tasks that requires an Internet connection (Tesla offers a year free of 3G connection through an unnamed service provider.)
