That was my biggest compliant about the Mach E. The tablet was so big I was banging it with my knee when driving, and when riding. At least it had a small display behind the wheel for standard dash instruments.

Very safe. /s

Doug DeMuro is usually alright but is it REALLY safe to be testing out that max speed stuff on a (albeit busy) street that is clearly frequented by buses and could have kids around?
Yea, i noticed that too. Obviously a very busy street, and he says he was doing 110 at one point.

One of the reasons I like the Lyriq layout. It gives you the flexibility of adjusting your display, but has REAL buttons for climate controls that I don't have to scroll to find, and has buttons on the steering wheel.

The Lyriq goes up for preorder 9/18, and I'm seriously considering it as a replacement for our aging Suburban. 300+ mile range, DC Fast charging @72 miles in 15 minutes, and it starts at $60K. Oh, and the dorky exterior light show that for some reason makes me smile. Just wish it came in better colors (launch will only have two).

Found a closer view of the dash...

That’s why I’m planning on buying a 2nd gen GR86 or BRZ, and driving it for the rest of my time on this earth. Then hopefully in heaven I can drive an LFA Nurburgring edition. We’ll see how it goes
