R2 Demo Drive - Driver's Screen Too Obstructed

[ClayCollins]

Took an R2 demo drive last week in Houston and really liked the R2. My only gripe (other than the black interior in the Houston heat) was that the driver's screen was overly obstructed by the steering wheel when I set the seat and steering wheel height to a comfortable position. I'm 6' tall and a pretty normal build, but I had to elevate the steering wheel to nearly the highest setting and lower the seat more than I liked to see an adequate amount of screen real estate. This inclined my arms upward at an awkward angle. Curious if anyone else had this issue.
They should consider linking the screen with the steering wheel so that the screen moves up and down with the steering wheel. Part of the problem is the flat region on the steering wheel from about the 10:00 to 2:00 position which cuts across the upper 1/3 of the screen. Rounding this off would help quite a bit.

I'm 6'1 and could see most of the screen but not all. For example, time and battery info were blocked even though I tried different steering wheel positions.

I'm 6'2" and could see the entire screen really easily.

Same issue for me. I made it work for the drive, but not sure how comfortable I was. Will probably demo drive again to double check that I can live with it.

I found that the seat positioning matters. took me a few demo drives but I was able to find a comfortable set up and still see most of the screen.

That's almost every car I've ever been in. Not unusual at all for top corners of the driver display to be a little obscured. You get used to it in about 5 minutes.

Phone book in the seat. You just need to be taller lol. Just kidding. I'm 6'4" and found a good balance only losing the very corners of the screen. Perfectly livable.
