    At least there’s a speedometer on a separate display.

    On the Tesla Model Y there’s only one centre display for everything. I was on a road trip with someone in one and the display froze then automatically rebooted itself. Took a good 5 minutes.

    Nothing happened thankfully and the car kept running, but it’s a scary experience when you’re driving 65-70 MPH on a highway. I was worried the car would refuse to continue driving and lock itself or something while it rebooted.
