And I enjoy the totally unobstructed view of the road. No cluster of instruments. Just the road. I’ve been using voice commands lately. No reason to search for the basics.I check it every 10 seconds on my Model 3. It has both the speedometer and odometer. No problem. If you only checked it every 5 minutes on your old car, you will be able to do it a lot more often on your Model 3.
Seriously, it is not problem to see the speed on M3 at all. However, in an older software, the size of the font was bigger. Wish there was an option to change the font size.
It’s not optimal, let’s be honest.
I ended up going for a test drive, it didn't even need getting used to. The speed was pretty conveniently located on the screen and I didn't have any issue whatsoever. However, I did find it very hard to follow the speed limit because the car was so fast. I guess this would come with practice
My opinion is that it *is* optimal. Before I owned the car, I wasn't sure what it'd be like (didn't test drive it). After my 7 hour drive to take delivery of the M3, my eyes were incredibly fatigued from my last car. It was dark out for most of the drive (winter) and the green HUD glowed in front of me. The 7 hour drive home, zero fatigue from the M3, and everything is very easily visible.
That said, this is subjective and everyone's peripheral vision is different. We also tend to lose our peripheral vision as we get older. I'm not sure I really look at the speedometer that often anyways... I just keep up with traffic (or far ahead of it ). Also, you can set a chime when you exceed the speed limit.
Who looks at the speedometer? Just match your speed to the traffic and you will be fine. Now if you insist on doing the 55 mph speed limit when others are doing 65 or 70 you will create other problems.Awesome. Thanks everyone. Yeah maybe I'm just imaging that it's a problem when it's really not lol. Well, I better go for a test drive before I take delivery of this car.

There are 3rd party options to allow screen tilting:My wife says that she wishes the screen were tilted a little more toward the driver, but there was absolutely no adjustment time to get used to looking slightly over to see the speedometer. I think there is also a setting that alerts you when you're going over the speed limit, but I can't imagine anyone turns it on.
I’m surprised people need to check their speed so frequently.

When your EV news feed tells you Model S Signature reservations are full.How else will you know when you hit 88 mph?
Exactly. Location of the speedo takes a short while to get used to, and you'll get used to it.with speed cameras around every corner, covert speed operations, unmarked vehicles which are just waiting for make money immediately from you going a few kms over its more vital than ever to pay less attention to the road and more attention to the speed. particularly if you have a car which does have instant torque and will respond quickly to even minute pressure.

Yes! I have seen this before, but I am extremely not handy and would fear doing damage. Only she has an issue with the screen angle and she rarely drives it.There are 3rd party options to allow screen tilting:
