Disappointing Driver Display

[mblist]

Is it just me or is anyone else disappointed with the driver display?
Where is
1) Total miles of the vehicle
2) Trip miles
3) Trip average power
4) Number for instant power output not just graph

I know many of these are available elsewhere in other screens but even my 2017 Chevy Bolt has all this right in front of me. For instance, you are driving down the road and something is 5 miles ahead or someone says turn after 5 miles or whatever, how do you know when you are close or past?

And why is usage over the last 15 minutes important? It is pretty but rarely is even close to the trip average (I live in a hilly area)

A lot of people would like an odometer and/or trip odometer.

They could do more with it for sure. Since the steering wheel blocks a good portion of it for me it’s never been a big deal. As long as I can see the speedometer and any error messages I’m happy.

All of the above plus elevation. It would really helpful for back road trails. Many of the trail books give directions in miles and elevation. Looking way over to the right and changing screens is distracting.

I would love to see the screen be drive mode specific.

Sport....all kinds of sport stuff....torque vectoring, available power output (as opposed to max if all things optimum), motor temps, coolant temps, etc...

Off Road Mode....off road stuff. Vehicle elevation, temps again, vehicle pitch/yaw, rtc...

Conserve....all the conserve stuff people are into (not my thing so I do know but I assume trip meters, miles/kw, etc)...

I agree on item #1 (total milage), but I dislike overcrowded displays......?

No, less is more, great how it is. That’s what the main screen is for.

Wouldn’t it be nice if it was optional (as it is in my Chevy Bolt)?

Not something I really use in vehicles anymore. My past ICE vehicles alerted you when it was time for a service/oil chage/etc/etc. Not sure what that would gain me.

Just you, fine as is.

I would like them to either substantially fix the stupid graphics of other vehicles or remove it altogether. It’s completely useless and often nonsensical and is kind of embarrassing.

I just want to be able to change the left driver display to show current music playing…

See, now there is a good idea. There are already three pages available in that space. You would think they could add a bunch more to solve your problem as well as mine and others

I also think that it highly sucks that there is no odometer or trip odometer on the driver screen. We have been asking for these for years now. We haven't gotten it yet but have gotten a lot of stupid crap added.

I honestly thought this was a zombie thread somebody resurrected. All of these are in different displays; play with your buttons, read the manual, and swipe around.
