🔍 What is S3XY Dash?

  • S3XY Dash is an additional digital instrument cluster for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.
  • It is not made by Tesla, but by the third-party company Enhance Auto.
  • It provides a secondary display with:
    • Real-time CAN-bus data (battery temp, regen status, charging details)
    • Custom layouts and widgets
    • Apple CarPlay & Android Auto support
    • Automatic layout switching based on driving mode, charging, Autopilot etc.

đź“Ť Installation & Placement

  • Around 9.6-inch display.
  • Can be mounted:
    • Behind the windshield (higher, HUD-style feel)
    • Behind the steering wheel (classic instrument cluster position)
  • Powered via USB-C and designed to install with minimal disassembly.
  • Does not replace the Tesla center screen.

âś… Advantages

  • A real instrument cluster, so you don’t have to look sideways at the center screen.
  • Highly customizable (themes, widgets, layouts).
  • Extra data Tesla doesn’t show by default, such as:
    • Battery temperature
    • Regen power limits
    • Live charging stats
  • Adds CarPlay / Android Auto support.
  • Looks premium and blends well with the interior.

⚠️ Drawbacks

Some feedback from Tesla owners (especially on Reddit):

  • Windshield reflections, especially when installed high: “The window-mounted position gives bad reflections at night.”
  • Not an official Tesla product → may affect warranty depending on region.
  • The device cannot access Tesla’s cameras or native map system: “Tesla camera and map data isn’t available through the CAN bus.”
  • Price is relatively high compared to simpler gauge clusters.
  • Modifies Tesla’s minimalist interior look.
