How do you have your displays setup? (Touchscreen and Dash)

I've been fiddling with what to put on both the dash and on the touchscreen top and bottom and can't find what the best config is. So I thought I'd see what other drives use as their main configuration. I understand you'll change things, but in general I'd be curious to see what is your goto config:

Left Dash Display:
Right Dash Display:
Top Touchscreen:
Bottom Touchscreen:
or Full Screen:
EDIT: Right scroller:

For instance, do you always leave your rear camera on at the top? I was trying to put the energy bar in the dash display, but since you can't see the Average Rated Distance remaining in the Dash, I find that I keep going back to the touchscreen.

Anyways, just wondering what others have settled in on.

Left dash: energy
Right dash: music
Full Screen: maps (arranged to show my whole commute, N up)

Note: no tech package

Also, right scroller is fan speed.

On road trips I may split the touchscreen with the energy meter on top and the map on the bottom
temporarily while making sure I can make my destination.

Funny, nearly a year later and I'm still fiddling with this! I seem to have landed longest now with this:

Left Dash Display: energy graph set at last 15 miles
Right Dash Display: trip info, Wh/mi etc
Top Touchscreen: slacker radio currently playing
Bottom Touchscreen: Tesla weather
or Full Screen:

Left Dash: media / Nav
Right Dash: Energy / Trip / Cell Phone (I switch back and forth between 15 mile graph and trip counter all the time)
Top Touchscreen: Maps / Nav - Occasionally Web, but Maps is what's on when I'm driving.
Bottom Touchscreen: Media
Right Scroll: All

Bottom 17": media
Right scroll wheel: pano roof

Left dash: Music
Right dash: Trip
Top Screen: Music
Bottom Screen: Map (or Full Screen map)
right scroll wheel: Temp (but I wish it were Map Zoom)

During a road trip I may put Energy graph on the right dash and Nav directions automatically go on left dash.

Left: trips
Right: Music most of the time, Energy on long trips
Top: Rear view camera*
Bottom: Music or Maps as needed
Right Scroll: Cabin temperature

*In this city no one ever lets you merge. If they see your turn blinker they'll hit the gas. So if I can see their nose in the camera I hit the accelerator and blinker simultaneously, and just go for it!

Since the dash display isn't touch screen or really interactive, I like to have it display static items. The touch screen is for the apps I interact with the most.

Left Dash Display: Trips
Right Dash Display: Energy graph
Top Touchscreen: Map
Bottom Touchscreen: Music
Right scroller: Temp (never use it)
