00:02 - Could you quickly walk us through
00:05 everything we're looking at here?
00:06 The vents are hidden,
00:07 that was one thing you were talking about.
00:09 And of course this display.
00:11 - Yeah, it starts with this display
00:12 as the hero of the interior.
00:14 And this is where all the interaction
00:16 and the feedback happens with the car.
00:17 We actually tried to just really minimize clutter
00:20 and excessive buttons, switches, everything.
00:23 - Yeah, so speed is up here in the top.
00:25 Basically pertinent information about the car
00:27 is here right in your peripheral vision.
00:30 Air controlling air,
00:31 so we're modulating the up down of the air
00:34 by pushing air up and down across a jet of air
00:38 that's coming up at you.
00:39 You'll notice like the air,

00:58 - Okay, so you're not reaching for a lever somewhere else.
01:00 - Move it into position.
01:02 - Ah, look at that.
01:03 - Really nice storage.
01:04 Here in the center console,
01:06 we have a space for two phones to fit and charge.
01:09 Pull out my phone and show you like.
01:12 You had another phone, you put your phone there.
01:16 So we have, you know, charging that way.
01:19 - I see a text message from Elon saying,
01:21 quit giving away all the secrets.
01:23 - Yeah, I better check on that.
