New Concept Interface for Tesla Model S Is Simply Amazing

Imagine you could customize the standard touchscreen interface available in the Tesla Model S just like you did with Winamp until one year ago. Or maybe change the display’s ‘skin’ to fit your preferences in terms of color, font size and icon positioning. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

Because so much of the Model S revolves around that 17-inch touchscreen - basically two full-size tablets put together - Bureau Oberhaeuser came up with a new concept interface for Elon Musk’s Tesla Model S. And good Lord, it’s already looking flawless.

Although the main inspiration was drawn from the stock touch screen available in the luxury electric sedan, this promising concept uses responsive widgets that can be rearranged on a flexible grid, similar to Windows 8’s idea of a customizable app panel.

The widgets are available in multiple sizes and can be combined freely via a ‘drag&drop’ feature, which means the user can play as much as he wants until he or she finds a final comfortable arrangement. Moreover, widget size can be changed by pressing a button or by using a ‘pinch to zoom’ gesture.

The grid’s flexible layout can host a variety of widgets, with sizes ranging from XS to XL (XXL for the navigation widget, that allows you to see two maps at once.). In addition, the most important buttons and touch areas are kept big enough to allow a precise navigation especially while driving, when the one behind the wheel must be focused on what’s happening in surrounding traffic.

Users can go straight to the car’s main settings by touching the ‘Controls’ button, where they can change settings for lights, door and sunroof. Temperature and climate control buttons are always available at the bottom of the screen but users can decide how they want to split the display. For example, the screen layout can be arranged to show the map and the music player or car data and the phone book. Oh, and additional themes include a white version and a night mode.

We have our doubts regarding the number of widgets on the screen, as too much info might distract the driver’s attention but we sure hope Elon Musk sees this and gives Bureau Oberhaeuser a call ASAP. For a dynamic presentation of the concept interface, hit play on the video below.
