It allows both internal and external display connections and, unlike legacy standards where differential pairs are fixed to transmitting a clock signal with each output, the DisplayPort protocol is based on small data packets known as micro packets, which can embed the clock signal within the data stream, allowing higher resolutions with fewer pins. DisplayPort is backwards compatible with VGA, DVI and HDMI through the use of passive and active adapters.ĭisplayPort is the first display interface to rely on packetized data transmission, a form of digital communication found in technologies including Ethernet, USB, and PCI Express. VESA designed it to replace VGA, DVI, and FPD-Link. The interface is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, though it can also be used to carry audio, USB, and other forms of data. Since CF/N is similar in price to Aluminum, and sometimes harder to machine, since it tends to chew up bits, why would it be cheaper to make parts out of CF/N than out of aluminum?Īs far as the shrouds go, I sent a suggestion to you in a private Conversation here in the forums, let me know if this is something that could help.DisplayPort is a digital display interface developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). I agree for a "sell on the open market" item, aluminum would be more appealing, since many people do not really understand how strong the new synthetic materials are, nor do they realize how many of the components in their everyday life are CF/N. (Bought a Tesla in the first place, then are willing to actively discuss in a forum environment ways to break open their new toy and tinker with it) I would bet that the largest majority of those who have indicated interest in these brackets would be open to using brackets made of carbon fiber/nylon material. I won't speak for everyone, but I would have to say the group here are definitely the early adopters of the early adopters. I’m not trying to throw cold water on the impressive work is doing! Just offering information. Whether this would make a difference in a crash scenario depends on a lot of variables, but it is possible it would make a difference.

Tilting the display slightly towards the driver puts the right side of the display a few centimeters closer to the passenger’s left arm. Regardless, apparently it is possible during a Model 3 crash for someone sitting in a front seat to have their arm hit the display even though they were presumably belted in and the post-crash photos show the airbags activated. When I read that I could not imagine how a human arm could “break” a flat screen display that would require a lot of force and I would think could result in a bone fracture. Also my passenger got a pretty big cut on her arm." Quote from the article, the Model 3 driver stated: "My only complaint about this car is that during the crash my passenger's arm hit the screen and shattered it which prevented me from opening the glove box title and insurance. See Elon Musk promises Model 3 safety changes after crash report And the elasticity is actually unchanged from any that was already built in to the system by Tesla as no Tesla parts were modified.Ĭlick to expand.It is possible. Either materials will not break in the catastrophic event. The design criteria and material choice for the brackets should make them strong enough to withstand the initial impact and elastic enough to absorb any passenger impact. I guess what you are basically concerned about is any alteration of Tesla original design and how it affects safety. Someone had raised a concern earlier about adding the nylon/carbon fiber piece and now I see you are concerned about the aluminum piece. I have never seen an impact over the front console at the position of the screen.Ĭonceivably if you are an un-belted passenger in the middle back seat, you could be affected flying forward toward the windshield.īut I doubt a 10 degree tilt in the front screen will make any difference in the outcome in that scenario. Like any other cars, the airbags deploy directly in front of the front passenger and driver. The crash testing videos seem to indicate that the center screen is really not an issue.
