Multiple people are paid 6 figure salaries to design a clusterfuck like this.Some other asshat gets paid even more to approve it.
alright anon, let's see your cluster design
>>29078031usually they focus test this shit and they decide to go with what appeals to the most people aka the lowest common denominator but with the main focus being the tachometer instead of the speedometer, there's no way the average person on a focus group preferred this. it had to have been the idea of some senior executive
looks fine to me
You can't really beat an analog dashboard in terms of visual clarity.But for a digital one it's ok-ish
>>29078031sir it is kindly very beautiful for good looks
half of the shit in this cluster is mandatory by law
>>29078031You ain't seen shit retard
>>29078031>6k redlineShits a rental
>>29078115I miss high-contrast clusters.
>>29078140That’s stellantis isn’t it? Had a grand Cherokee recently and it has something that looks like that, absolutely the worst fucking display I’ve ever used.
>>29078745b9 owner here, the top one is genuine shit to drive with, the tiny red needles on grey shade background take a long time for the eye to focus on and symbols are a cluster fuck, lines everywhere, some shit on half transparent widgets.The botom one is ugly, but it is clearly structured, peak german efficiency.Symbols and numbers concentrated on the bottom third and everything on high contrast oled black. This part is as good as an virtual hud can get.Also the nav view is just there due to online autists sperging, they intended for the nav to be on the large center dispaly and HUD only like on the early a5
>>29078031I don't hate this. just remove the grey and put it on a black background>>29078140this pisses me off so much. why is there blue light everywhere? why are there diagonal angles? imagine the night drives
>>29078031Looks fineCan you explain in five words or less whats wrong with it?
>>29078745I disagree the old Q3 is one of the best clusters ever. All you need right there and easy to read. The FA Porsche black with orange is best though
>>29079031it's digital; you're a faggot
>>29078031Digital dashes look so cheap and low quality. Don't look "futuristic" or high quality at all.Mark my words, at some point the average normie will think the same thing and auto makers will pivot back to physical dials and buttons.
>>29078971Imagine being this retarded.
>>29079062>gauges not angled so that redline/normal reading is straight upngmi
>>29079168we get it, in the women mind its pretty colors = good
>>29079227wow this almost made me throw up
>>29078031First take:It's an absolute mess with zero logic able to be discerned as the the design.The Lines that attach to the the Tachometer have no relation or correlation to the adjacent informationFor example:Between 600 rpm and 2000 rpm is the Trip average data.Just omit the fucking Lines that serve no purpose, and instead nest each concept within its own box
>>29078988>why is there blue light everywhere? why are there diagonal angles?its just like heckin iron man broso r/futureporn
>>29079227Bing Bing wahoo!
>>29078053honestly, main focus being the tach and a digital mph gauge is fine. Having the speedo be the main focus is gay.
>>29078031why is every status lit up even when it’s fine? this is like having all your warning lights lit solid instead of flashing, when every retard knows you want them off until needed
>>29080835focusing on the tach is silly enough on a porsche. it’s ridiculous on this what, lexus nx? whatever it is it almost certainly has a cvt.
>>29079118I'm afraid the economies of scale don't swing back to dials...
>>29078033>fuel gague>Temperature gague>Oil pressure gague>Tachometer>Speedometer>VoltageLet me guess, you need more?
>>29080867why would I need a volt meter or oil pressure gauge? give me an idiot light for each of those and call it a day.
>>29078031>anon finally learns how corporate america operates
>>29080845What are you going to put there instead? a map or something distracting? A tach is the least offensive thing I can think of. MPH in digits is way better, takes up way less space, is faster to read, and most people just want to know whether they're speeding or not anyway. So that deletes 1 gauge and lets you put the tach in the center where it's easier to glance at and more visible. Trip average mpg shouldn't be displayed by default, EV / ready shouldn't be displayed, the weird car on a road is useless, the TPM stuff is useless (should only display if there's an issue or if you force it). The stability control icon can also be deleted unless it's turned off. I'm assuming the dashed lines and the steering wheel are for cruise control or something? I guess you can delete that too unless it's on. They could keep the gas gauge on and the tach on, keep the time and the outside temperature & engine coolant temp on I guess and that's about it. This looks like a software mock-up where they enabled every possible UI element for final review, but knowing the world today it's like this all the time and this is "sport mode" and the other modes are even worse. >>29080888checked, even this is a step down from the analog gauges but at least it's clean. If they're going digital, I wish they'd at least open up them up to let you modify them like how Torque or other apps have done for years. I may care more about engine oil pressure, temp, coolant temp, etc. than mpg/emissions/farts per mile but they only give you eco mode stuff and maybe a sport mode designed by someone who's never driven a car.
>>29080888I bought a used 2022 instead of a new 2024 because of this digital cluster and the way they handled steering volume (buttons for up/down instead of a scroll wheel like they previously had)it replaced a new 2022, but I liked the paint on the new one better
>>29080981>>29080888yeah, the analog one is just much nicer on the eyes. I guess because you aren't being raped by LEDs 24/7.
>>29080888I can live with that
>>29080867This, driver's don't need all this nonsense but they're being sold it.
this type is the coolestreal needles, non-square display
>>29080907But some of these designs are European?
>>29082754I hate VAG but I do love the look of their clusters
>>29080907>L/100km>km/h>Cthis has eurotard meddling literally written all over
Keep it simple, mother fuckers.
>>29083491Instead of MPG they should've made that engine temp.
>>29080885gauges would be useful for showing conditions that an idiot light may not necessarily indicate
I learned to drive in one of these. The dash was fun, and after dark it's so dim and small that it's not even there unless you're looking for it. I dislike how newer cars need to throw lights all over the cabin, all the B had was a tiny dim bulb throwing light over the few gauges, apart from that I was alone under the night sky.
>>29083677luv me dodge gauge pods
Mazda is pretty good.
>>29084117Have you been cleaning that with 400-grit wet-or-dry?
>>29084126I bought her like that. She's a former rental so there's a handful of cosmetic issues to fix, like the scratched up plastic over the gauges and some chipped paint in the sills.
>>29084128Nothing wrong with a scratched or scuffed up car if the price is right.
>>29084128>She's a former rentalSo it's been at redline more times than any other car outside of a racetrack. And lugged. And had the gears crashed on the move.
>>29085202Kek that means its been tested, my mom once bought an ex budget rental and was the biggest piece of shit about owning it, going from reverse to drive while rolling back, not doing the maintenance like you should and it lasted shockingly long.
>>29080885I like gagues.
