🚗 Tesla Performance Dashboard (Power BI)

A cinematic, KPI‑driven Tesla performance dashboard built entirely from scratch — combining data storytelling, custom 3D visuals, and Power BI interactivity.
This project blends my skills in data visualization and video editing to create a dashboard that feels like a Tesla product launch.

📖 Project Story

This was my second Power BI dashboard, and I wanted to push beyond standard charts and KPIs.
I set myself two creative challenges:

1. Build the dataset from scratch

   • I used a Python script (tesla.py) with ChatGPT’s help to generate a realistic Tesla performance dataset (tesla_futuristic_dashboard.csv).
   • The data covers multiple years, models, and performance metrics.

2. Integrate a cinematic 3D Tesla visual

   • I downloaded a Tesla Roadster 2020 video from YouTube (tesla-roadster-2020-3d-model.mp4).
   • Using DaVinci Resolve, I transformed it into a custom 3D visual (tesla-3d-visuals.mp4).
   • I then converted that MP4 into a GIF (tesla-3d-visuals.gif) for smooth embedding in the dashboard and README.
   • This visual became the hero element of Page 1, set against a custom monochrome digital grid background (monochrome-digital-grid.avif).

Note on Page 2:
This dashboard was originally planned as a two‑page project.
However, I focused my time and creative energy on perfecting Page 1, and Page 2 was never developed.
The current version is a complete, standalone single‑page dashboard — but the structure allows for future expansion if I decide to add more content.

The result is a dashboard that merges analytics with artistry, making the data feel alive.
