00:10 - Inside of the Model 3 Highland.

00:12 - Yes.

00:13 - I like the layout.

00:14 So this situation here, there's no stalks anywhere.

00:18 So you ask, what do I do to change lanes?

00:22 Where are my indicators?

00:22 Well, they're on the wheels,

00:23 just like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.

00:24 So that's not too radical.

00:26 You have your windshield wiper here.

00:28 You have your lights, your cruise control.

00:30 Everything is here.

00:31 - And those are haptic, right?

00:32 - Yes.

00:33 - Those are not conventional buttons,

00:35 but they feel like a button when you press them.

00:36 - They feel like a button.
