The screen is not in the center console it sticks above the dash. Seems like the speed is probably just as close to the road as any other vehicle if not closer.

Do you think a diagonal saccade is worse than a vertical one for some reason?
- jimmcslim 9y agoThanks for teaching me a new word! Saccade! Yes, I do think it is worse, but that's just my gut feel, presumably Telsa designer's think otherwise. Not many other cars with the speed in the center console (older new-generation Minis come to mind though).
- sunstone 9y agoYou might be in over your head with a guy who knows a word like saccade.

- manigandham 9y ago> Do you think a diagonal saccade is worse than a vertical one for some reason? Yes, definitely. You don't? Vertical movement is much easier, just try it. It's also easier to focus since one eye isn't farther away or blocked by your nose.
- vsl 9y agoFrom experience: when tired, glancing down while driving is hard, while glancing sideways (at nav) is fine.
- lobster_johnson 9y agoNitpick: Moving your eyes to look at a speedometer is a conscious muscle movement, not a saccade. Saccades are involuntary, automatic and not consciously felt; they're the sensory system's way of automatically building up the visual "scene" in your brain from multiple images even though you feel like your gaze is fixed on a single point. You can't focus on the road and read the speedometer from your peripheral vision.
- erikpukinskis 9y agoIn the back of my mind, I knew there was was a "this is not technically a saccade" situation but couldn't remember why. Thanks for the clarification.
