>And there are no gauges directly in front of the driver at all, which has been confirmed to be like that for production
Is that how you read it?
Because I read it as Tesla feeling the pressure to get something tangible out there for people to see, so they demonstrated a car that wasn't finished (just like the battery swap tech, or "off the hook" Powerwall demand). It got huge hype, now it'll be two more years of "wait and see what we have planned!" Smart, I guess.
I wish everyone would stop framing this as Tesla vs everyone else, instead of rooting on the EV industry as whole. There'd be less pressure on Tesla to take over the world, which ain't gonna happen.

In some of the ride-along vidoes the people driving (all heads of design) confirm the lack of gauges is going into production, as-is the landscape screen.
