Tesla’s massively hyped Model 3 will get its big information display from LG, which grabbed the contract from a unspecified rival supplier.
By the end of Saturday, Tesla received 276,000 reservation orders for the Model 3, making it a huge success for the electric car company and that’s even more impressive if you think that the $35,000 EV is still far from getting into regular production.
A person with direct knowledge of the matter spoke to Reuters confirming that LG will be supplying the 15-plus inch center display for the Model 3’s cabin. LG is currently seeking to further expand into automotive electronics as demand grows and the return is much more stable than that of consumer electronics.
The cabin of the Model 3 prototype we saw last week is dominated by the landscape-oriented screen in an otherwise minimal dashboard; Elon Musk said earlier on Twitter that the final production version will feel more like ‘a spaceship’ inside.
