Takes longer to move your gaze, and less of the road is in your peripheral vision.

Is it actually farther away, in terms of angles, than a normal instrument cluster? Looks similar to me. I haven’t sat in one yet though.

Seems basically the same as the Toyota Prius.

The newer Prius speedometer (etc.) is a more distant, behind the console display. (Previously, Prius used behind-the-wheel.) The angle might be similar (though the Tesla looks significantly lower), and the Tesla display seems (again, from photos) to require nearer focus.
