Speedometer issues

I've taken the Roadster for a test drive 3 times now, and every time I have trouble reading the speedometer. I try not to go over the speed limit (by too much ) but it's hard when you can't easily tell how fast you're going. In my Prius, there's a very handy digital display (see picture below) but in the Roadster I can't tell quickly if I'm going 62 or 68mph. Can the display below the tachometer be used to show the speed ?

Your Tesla pic seems to be of the old "EP" design. Didn't you have the newer white on black dashboard?




If all else fails, you could try an aftermarket add-on like this:

Odyssey Series I, Mini Speedometer

So you could just stick this on the tach...
