I'm old enough not to have 20/20 vision these days. As a suggestion to Tesla, having a Font Size slider in the info screen would help tremendously. Some of the text is so small that it cannot be read, especially in navigation directions and notifications.
Any thoughts from people who find it difficult to read text while driving? Thanks.
Totally agree. In fact, this is definitely a safety issue. Normal vision from the driver’s eyes to 12 point text size being read is 14 inches. 24 inches, 16 point. The right side of the screen in my Model 3 is 30 inches from my eyes looking at the screen in normal driving position. The fonts must be increased in size to 16 point and CONTRAST made to more prominently display. The present fonts are indistinguishable for normal 20/20 vision in many glare and light conditions encountered in every day driving. Medium gray fonts on an off-white background are a poor choice.
Also, the Homelink icon, for Homelink users, used to be bright green and used to pop up to a dropdown for action when approaching gates of garage doors. This is not now the case.
The time (clock) function is often quite important in meeting everyday needs to be "on time." The time display is now at the top-center of the screen in grey color on off-white background and 12 point font...often impossible to safely read when driving. The position of the time/clock function needs to be on top (or other up/down position) at left part of panel. Dark glasses with progressive or any other lens format is unsafe to wear at dusk, night or dark sky conditions.
Progressive lenses, dark or normal, still do not allow for reading 12 point fonts from farther than 14 inches from the driver’s eye in normal driving position. Many other fonts, or fonts in general, need to be more contrasted, darker gray or black, to the background. The driver's ability to quickly read many of the functions on the screen is essential for top vehicle safety. For safety, “function” should take priority over “form.” After all, Tesla owners are very proud to note that Teslas are the safest cars on the road.
