Absolutely agree 1000%
This is the reason why I am not a fan of the Tesla dash layout. It does not appear that the instrument cluster/dash of the car was even designed by anybody who had driven a car.
No, I’m not a Tesla hater but it seems a little bit inconvenient to have to turn your head (albeit ever so slightly) to get needed information.
While driving (and looking at the road ahead) I can still see the analog gauges in my Mercedes and Porsches. These manufacturers seem to understand this in the layout of their dashes.
Having flown a little myself (Nowhere the flight hours of Seahawk) I had to constantly know the “pulse” of my machine while constantly scanning the skies for . . . ANYTHING. I’m the same way while driving my car.
I’m surprised Tesla hasn’t incorporated a HUD in their cars. Here is a shot of a HUD (Heads up display) from a C 130 J.
