Recently we wrote about the famous electric car Tesla Model S . This post caused the liveliest interest Habré, we got a lot of questions about the structure and behavior of a vehicle on the road. And going to meet your needs, we decided to tell us more about the control system and onboard equipment Tesla.

We recall the main characteristics of the car (Tesla Model S version P85):

Under the graphical shell suddenly disappears Ubuntu, trip computer itself is built on the NVIDIA Tegra 3. Companies Tesla managed to create a very ergonomic and logical management interface sorts subsystems without losing the visual appeal.

Instead of a mechanical instrument panel uses a smaller display with a resolution 1280h480. It displays all the necessary information to the driver: speed, power consumption, range, distance, temperature overboard. While charging the battery in the instrument display shows voltage and current. When you press one of the buttons on the steering wheel to the right in the display menu appears from several often-requested features:
- climate settings for driver's seat;
- the speed of the blower;
- Screen brightness driving;
- sunroof controls (its degree of opening is measured in percentage );
- to switch the media source.
  
  All other settings are made from the main display. The main menu is divided into the following tabs category:
  - Media player;
  - Maps and Navigation;
  - energy consumption;
  - Web browser;
  - Camera Rearview;
  - Phone.
    
    We have already mentioned that the image can be divided into two parts, and bring them in a variety of information. For example, a navigation application and control of the media player. And in place of the media player and the video may be displayed, so that passengers do not get bored on the trip. However, as a driver in a traffic jam. At the bottom of the display, a small control panel from which you can get to the menu with the technical settings of the car to control the parameters of conditioning and adjust the volume.
    
    Let's take a closer look at the contents of all of the above tabs main menu.
    
    Media Player pleerMedia quite omnivorous, have built in support for Internet Radio TuneIn. Audiophiles have the opportunity to adjust the positioning of the sound in the cabin, pamper effect Dolby Surround and three-band EQ.
    
    Maps and navigatsiyaNavigatsionnoe application can be deployed on the entire screen. Tesla has taken the path of least resistance and do not reinvent the wheel: mapping system licensed from Google. With this decision, the navigator can display information about traffic jams. Unfortunately, the built-in mobile internet does not work in Russia, but you can connect a car to your smartphone via Wi-Fi. It should be noted that the system is fast enough, the brakes are rare.
    
    Consumption of electric energiiDlya presence refueling / charging infrastructure is still a problem. Built navigator remembers the location of each charging station, which visited the car. Unfortunately, this is true only for the official stations, and if you believe the navigator, the nearest is already in Norway.
    
    For self-charging Tesla is usually held on a separate line 32A with grounding. You can use it to charge the car for a few hours.
    
    During charging, can be displayed on the primary display information from the ammeter, and the calculation of the reserve. As in the case of vehicles with internal combustion engines, it is wise to rely only on the averaged data.
    
    Web brauzerPodklyuchiv mobile internet, the driver and passengers can not use Tesla surf their laptops, tablets and smartphones.
    
    Rearview Camera
    
    Unfortunately, the implementation of this function is poor. The camera image is not superimposed marking of the vehicle. On round visibility and can not speak.
    
    TelefonZdes everything is simple, it is customary to connect the phone to the built-in hands free.
    
    Other functions and display nastroykiCherez can access the settings steering, suspension, lights, sunroof, heated seats and windows.
    
    There is a curious feature of memorizing up to three radio codes trinkets for opening gates and doors. Enough to register them in the radio module of the car, and he will discover obstacles, choosing the correct code based on geographic location.
    
    Tesla owners can control some functions of their vehicles through mobile applications. For example, it is possible to start heating the cabin in winter, view the current status of the battery charging process. However, we know nothing about the level of security of the communication link with the vehicle.
    
    Conclusion Overall, the majority of the functions given in Tesla, has long embodied in many other cars of premium class. From competitors in this respect differs Tesla perfect ergonomic controls, high performance wide-board computer and network management. For example, a manufacturer regularly releases software updates that are automatically installed on the vehicle when you connect to the Internet. So best to date electric vehicle can be compared with the gadget on wheels. Very quick gadget.
