The dash was my one big worry when I ordered the Model 3, I thought it was going to drive me crazy. Now getting back in the BMW just feels like a big mess of stuff right in front of me + hood instead of seeing more road. The 911 isn't nearly as bad, and the gauges are rotated as needed to see them a little better with the smaller wheel and redline at the top of the tach, but still a great no-hood view out the front. (and reversed wipers for that same reason)
My daily dash:
But there are some differences with this car vs an old 911:
No tach needed
No oil pressure / temp needed
Starts charged every day, very little need for 'fuel' gauge
Clock is a glance to the side
Don't need the odometer right there (no oil changes or anything, has a trip button if desired)
Wipers auto-adjust
Headlights are auto w/manual override
Can hear the blinkers (and they cancel themselves consistently
)
HVAC is set to auto 99% of the time other than a degree up or down or hitting the defrost button
No key
Adjust the stereo on the wheel
Adjust the speed/follow distance on the wheel
Nav would be a little nicer to have the turns in a HUD or something, but that's not 99% of my driving, so it's out of the way.
I dig it.
