Fitting a square display into a round hole
Recall, I'm trying to add a digital dashboard display in the round hole normally filled by the tachometer of the stock BMW instrument cluster. It is a gorgeous set of VDO instruments set in a French walnut real wood cluster. I want to keep as much of the original look as possible but there is no need for a tachometer. The speed of the Tesla motor is many times faster than a gas engine and basically irrelevant. Instead, I'd like to know what gear I'm in, the state of my batteries, the most critical temperature of the components, my remaining range, output power, etc.
