INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DESIGN
First ofall, we should mention, that Tesla Model 3 has sleek and minimalistic interior but it does not prevent it from looking luxurious. Safety belts, both front and rear, are equipped with red markings, whichare mandatory in almost all countries. As for the space for legs, it turned outnot so much as it would be desirable, but there is hope that space can beincreased by adjusting the seats. Speaking of the color of the Tesla Model 3,the factory in Fremont produced a novelty in two shades – dark blue (VIN # 7)and silver (VIN # 26). In total are 7 colors. The size of the disks and wheels will be in two variations, but at thebeginning, the choice of production will not be available to buyers. RecallTesla has announced it plans to limit the number of configurations to 100compared to the Tesla Model S, which has more than 1500 differentconfigurations but new model 3 has more compact dimensions and fewer options inperformance and design. The design of a single-toned interior is veryminimalistic and is made of synthetic material and wood. There are very fewbuttons and controls on the center console, which makes sense, given Tesla’sambitions for autopilot. The main twist of the salon is a 15-inch touch screen with a very simple user interface,allowing you to activate control, security and multimedia systems. It displaysboth the data of the car, and what the cameras and sensors fix to orient thecar on the road, whether in the hands of the driver or autopilot. The displayalso shows information about the status of the battery charge, its powerconsumption and vehicle speed. Speaking about the spaciousness of the cabin, itis worth noting that it can comfortably accommodate 5 adults and an oversizedcargo. To increase the volume of the cargo compartment, you can bend the backsof the rear seats and push the seats forward.

The autopilot system has undergone anumber of improvements and improvements. Cameras and special motion sensorshelp the system to calculate optimal trajectories and promptly respond toobstacles. This increases traffic safety and prevents emergencies. So, thedriver can completely transfer control of the machine to the computer.
