This is the most WTF aspect of the model 3 to me and seems to confirm that there isn't going to be some last-minute mitigation. I know it was done because autopilot was expected to be mature by the time model 3 rolls out, but I don't see how it can even be street-legal when you need to look away from the road to determine your speed.

I’ve driven a P3D and it was fine. Currently driving a Toyota which also has speed in center. So do Minis.

I'll take your word for it. From the pictures I've seen the vertical distance between the screen and the windshield looked big enough to block most of your view of the road when looking at the screen. Unlike a Toyota where the display is vertically positioned the same as any other dashboard.

There's an entire generation of traffic safety cameras that detect people looking down away from the road and it looks to me like they'd be tripped by a model 3 driver just reading their speed...

I see what you're saying, but the P3D's speed was top left on the screen, felt like a non-issue. Maybe driving it longer I'd feel differently, was a test drive.

You have to look away from the road to look at your speed on a regular dash too.

Customers seem to love it.

In that the people who do not love it choose not to be Tesla customers, sure.
