@via I just checked, Polestar still blocks the instrument panel with the steering wheel. The EX30 doesn’t look bad though, as far as the instrument panel is concerned.

The only other one I’ve seen that kind of comes close is the Lucid Gravity. It squishes the steering wheel down and places the instrument panel up higher, which might solve the issue. I’ve just never driven one to know for sure. https://lucidmotors.com/gravity#user-experience

@via nice! I’ll check out the Polestars. I don’t think that was an option last time I looked at them, but I haven’t looked in a while.

I do like the way this is designed, placing the screen directly on the steering wheel. I like that solution.

And personally, I don’t mind the center screen only option, but even if I did I think I’d still prefer that to having an obscured instrument panel.

That placement honestly been my biggest pet peeve about vehicle design since I started driving.

@via that looks well thought out.

One thing that has always bugged me about vehicles available in the US is the placement of the instrument panel. By placing it directly in front of the steering wheel, I’ve never been able to see it clearly in almost any vehicle. The only available vehicles (that I’m aware of) in the US that have done anything about this, even now, are Teslas. It’s nice to see other manufacturers addressing this.

Also the smoothness of that display is really nice as well.

@tienelle I wasn’t aware of that. Personally, I didn’t notice any difference when switching, but that may have been due to that manufacturer not messing it up.

I do wonder how that happens. If you’re taking 40mg, then you’d think 40mg of active ingredient is 40mg. Deliberately shorting that seems like obvious fraud, that would get them caught.

On the other hand, convincing people that generics are of questionable quality, seems like just the underhanded PR strategy a drug company would take.
