Tabs in a view

I haven’t done it but try turning on the setting indicated in the image below.

If you are just trying to display the data while preventing edits, and not taking advantage of any features of the detail view type, you could create a read-only slice, copy the existing form view configuration, attach the copy to the read-only slice, and present that read-only form view. It would look exactly like the original form, but would not be modifiable.

Tabs on detail view Feature Requests

Tabs in detail view using show collumns, the same way it works with forms. I’ve done an workaround with an Enum collumn, quick edit on detail view enabled and show_if based on this collumn, but its kind of messy.
