Aftermarket Driver Displays

[BarbWIRE]

Been eyeing those new driver displays, the little ones for speed and gear selection, and the full-blown dashboards. The stock center screen's cool, but is it info overload? Anyone out there with an aftermarket display? Do they improve the driving experience, or just clutter up the cockpit? Tempted by the info at a glance, but worried about a bulky add-on. Cheers!

Nah, I just like things simple. No distractions in the cockpit for me. But yeah, to each their own.

Aftermarket displays are a mixed bag. Some of the sleeker options like the Tesla-Style HUDs integrate seamlessly and add convenience for highway driving. But others can feel a bit out of place and might even block airflow from the vents. If you’re already comfortable with the center screen layout, you might not find the add-on as useful as you’d think. Instead, try tweaking the center screen settings to display only the info you need, less clutter, same functionality. It keeps the cabin sleek without the risk of a bulky add-on.

It's interesting to consider a simplified EV with basic features. A car with manual windows, a hard top, a simple display showing speed and battery level, and minimal heating and wiper controls could potentially be more affordable.

By focusing on essential functions and eliminating complex technology, manufacturers could create a more cost-effective electric vehicle. However, the reliance on a smartphone for navigation and other features might not be suitable for everyone.
