When using the navigation and cruise control, this little triangle sometimes is on the display, and it moves up and down the speedometer.
In this picture it is right about the 75 MPH.

That's neat. I had no idea that was a thing. Wonder if my previous cars have had that.
most (all?) vehicles that support ACC have some sort of indication somewhere on the dash what the speed of the "target" vehicle is in terms of "set speed"…but it's normally not very clear.

Am I the only one that finds this dial on the left tube entirely unusable?

1. The graphics are all too small - see the triangle above, but also B and C above are tiny.
2. The steering wheel is in the way of half the dial
3. And it's in the way of the left side of the dial - the most useful part on a daily basis

I'd much rather have the ability to put this in the center, or right, tubes for better visibility.

The Macan dash is too small overall. Don't understand why they didn't use the same as in the Taycan or Cayenne or Panamera.

I'd really like to have a needle drawn in that speedometer. But I'm sure Porsche will not add it. Center icons would need to smaller.

I didn't know this, thanks, I should finish reading the manual :)

Porsche will always have the speedometer on the left side. The center is reserved for the tachometer, which of course does not exist in an EV. But the logic is, in racing the tachometer is more important to see than the speedometer. Same reason the ignition is on the left side. All about racing history/heritage.
