Tesla's Model 3 is loaded with impressive features - but one stands out above the rest

The Tesla Model 3.

• We recently spent a few hours sampling the new Tesla Model 3.
• Its minimalist design is one of its most striking features.
• But I had an interesting reaction to the lack of a traditional instrument cluster.

Tesla recently let us borrow a $57,500 Tesla Model 3, in fetching red with a black interior.

We were impressed with the car, but it isn't without some radical departures from business-as-usual, particularly when it comes to user interface and information design.

For example, Tesla has eliminated the instrument cluster. This has bothered some reviewers.

But I'm of a different mindset.
