This is mine: I like having nav, regen meter, altitude, boussole , battery SoC, efficiency and g-meter.

I have battery info on left. Nav on center. The same thing on the right but with diff set of info.. but I really wish the right and left ones had more useful info available.

I would especially love to know how much power is being used/regen'd in real time.

My HUD is the “flat line” version, with typical speed limit, cruise control MPH if set, current MPH, and on the right is navigation if set to a destination. Here are the others:

My wife and I are probably in the 1% but we literally put the passenger display into hibernate, though we wake it up to provide what we want when at a road trip charger.

I'm still toying with mine, but here's what I'm on now. Battery on the left, Compass-Altitude-MPK(day)-MPK(charge). In the middle, I have it on the basic speed display simply because I like to drop the wheel down into my lap (which cuts off the top of the display). This one put the speed lower so I can see it without ducking.

I also like that this middle display shows a meter for power usage/regen (the top of the circle goes left-right for power level). I'm still not sure what the bottom of that circle is showing?

I like having the speed dial on the left, but the 70mph area is cut off by the wheel, making it less useful. It does show data from the ACC in there, which is nice. And it shows the road signs, which otherwise are above the dials, which you might have trouble seeing if you need that center dial to see your speed.

I'm still not sure what the bottom of that circle is showing?
This is a different view of your % charge, in your example, 44%

I do like the right dial to show what you've got. The trip info I put on the center PCM 3 widget area.

So this quadrant of the center circle is SOC%?

What's the lower-right quadrant showing?

The upper left and right seem to be showing power use (right) or regen gain (left) when driving.

I do like that the scroll wheel is so easy to use to flip between screens. I leave mine "pointed" to the right circle, because there's 3 pretty useful screens of the 5 (this one, Radio station/song, and trip meter). I find myself flipping between them a lot.

It's a shame they didn't just add one more screen to show 4 more of the possible data points. Then we could easily scroll to get the next 4 rather than having to reconfigure the whole screen in settings.

Ah, no. There are 3 parts. The area you circled is mostly empty, but contains the start of the SOC bar.

The % SOC is around the 6 o'clock position.

The regen is to the left, starting at 12 o'clock, and the power is to the right, starting at 12 o'clock.

Oh, and the shaded parts of the regen bar are the 'available' regen, so when you're at 100% SOC, this is a shorter bar. The green part (when you hit the brakes etc) shows how much of the available regen you are using.

Presumably if you go below 10%, the available power on the right gets shorter too, but I've not seen that in person.

Ah, so there's really just 3 segments, not 4. Thanks.

Yes - it's a bit confusing. All the other dials in the center put this bar under the dial, and not curved.

The online manual isn't helpful here either.

What I really wish is that the left tube speedometer had the power/regen layout of the one in the center. I prefer to have maps or the ADAS visualization in the center, but the basic speedometer on the left isn't worth the screen space it takes up without the battery/motor info.

Two things you can do with these displays.

1. You can hide specific options from the dial options when you scroll between them. e.g you can hide the Tire Pressure one so you never see it in the left tube. This helps keep only the data interesting to you available. This is in the Display Settings area.

2. Some downloaded apps can provide a widget for the 3 panel PCM display. I have the Accuweather one configured, and given it access to Location services so it's always my current location.
