    For example they don’t put the speedometer on the center dash like literally all other cars do.

    There are other cars that do this, or did this in recent history. Mini Coopers for example, and some entry-level Toyotas like the Echo.

      And it isn’t ok. Nor would I ever buy those cars for the exact reason. Shit design choice.

      Considering the fact that this design choice never became mainstream across the car industry is a good indication it was a shit idea that very few people liked.

        I wasn’t trying to justify it as a good choice. I’d never buy one either. But it is simply not true to say that “literally all other cars” other than Teslas have a common speedometer placement.

          You’re right. It’s news to me that there are other car manufacturers out there implementing this horrifically moronic concept. Sadge.

          At least it isn’t mainstream. If there are other cars out there with this plague then at least it’s few and far between. I’ve never seen it in any car I’ve ever been in.

          I’d like to think it hasn’t become mainstream due to most people agreeing with how stupid of a concept it is. One can only hope.
