Tesla Model Y or Model 3 heads-up display (HUD)

Brand new and still in the box; arrived today from Ali Express but I've decided I'm going go with a more basic one. A really affordable HUD that provides key information (speed, 'gear', doors, indicators...). Much easier to install than full HUDs such as those sold by Hannshow as it connects in behind the centre console, behind the front seats (so no need to remove the front dash etc). Cost me $83; looking for $50 if sold to a GZ member.

I accidentally purchased this instead of the one for an MY. Paid around $35, but looking for just $15.

It’s like the M3 version in this listing: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003657809812.html

PM me if interested in either item. Happy to post, or pick-up in PN.

wow, didnt realise these vehicles were missing such a basic feature and also that you need to look across to the centre screen to get this info.

you'd think given the cost of these aftermarket units that it wouldn't have been cost prohibitive to include this as standard? or for safety alone.

@dimsim It seriously isn't needed. I've never actually as an owner thought "I wish there was a screen in front of me". It is a quick glance slightly over to your left if you want to see the speed etc and I appreciate nothing being in front of me.

People make a fuss over it but I seriously think soon to be owners should just hold out on most accessories until they've got the car.

Lastly; I want to highlight the risk of aftermarket accessories that plug into the Tesla at all. While it is highly unlikely it'll cause issues there is also the "if it does" factor and that is a risk you need to understand, this is not covered by warranty at all and if it causes issues you could be footing a rather large bill. You'll see these warnings on all the Tesla groups too.

And yet as an owner of this exact hud in my Model 3, I like having a speed readout in front of me. That’s why I got it.
Yes, there is a small risk, but no greater than putting an OBD2 reader on the car. (I have my fingers firmly crossed while writing this 😉).

I tried the car for a month without the hud, got used to looking to the centre, but quickly reverted to looking in front of me for the info once it was installed. So my opinion differs from MM’s.

It is the least intrusive of any of the hud options out there. No removal or replacement of any dash panels and it doesn’t go anywhere near the autopilot or display computer like some of the other HUDs do. And it is completely reversible.

The only thing that has me scratching my head is why you didn’t wait until your Y arrived to see if it is needed or not (before selling the hud). You can really easily connect it without running the cables behind any panels, sit it on the dash and see whether it is worthwhile or not. (That’s what I did before going to the trouble of concealing the cable.)

As always I am happy with my choice, but installing something like this is at your own risk.
I wish Tesla had certified aftermarket accessories like this and believe they are missing out on a revenue stream by not.

The main reason for getting a HUD from day one is to minimise my wife’s concerns about driving a car without a centrally located speedo. Her car is has a range of 100km, so it’s inevitable that sometime she’ll need to drive mine; she’s already a bit anxious about driving such a ‘different’ car, and this is an easy thing that can help mitigate one of those differences.

Sorry I was editing my post when you replied. The comment was to clarify hanging onto the hud until after you got your Y.

I can understand ‘partner reluctance’, my wife won’t even drive the 3.

i guess im so used to it on my 2012 BMW that i thought it would just would have been standard on a modern vehicle like that. Personally I use it all the time for setting cruise etc and its also works well when using navigation.

@dimsim Your discussion is better had in either the Model 3 or Model Y thread, rather than the “Offers and Wanted” one. If for no other reason than it has already been discussed at length there.

It is however important with these sorts of items to raise the warranty risks so really sorry to have to do that. Last thing I want to see is anyone voiding their cars warranty over a $50 accessory as this can be a very, very expensive mistake to make.

I would honestly recommend also waiting until you've got the car before forking out for any more accessories (I'm guilty of this and ended up with accessories I never used and so are many other Tesla owners).

We can get back on subject now, I didn't mean to divert it away as much as I did.
