    Not to mention distracting. Maybe I don’t want passengers to be privy to the cars stats while I’m driving; or to control the climate.

    They are 100% useless and a joke.

    Yes, another gimmick to make money, just like we had to pay for apple car play.

    I like the display which spans from the left to the right A-pillar. For some reason it seems to attract dead insects on its outside though :(

    The only use I’ve found is in my wife’s Cayenne— I can enter nav destinations and routes while she’s driving.

    Whether that’s worth the cost…

    Most are a check box on the order sheet. When I got to Mondrian, I don’t get upset a salad is on the room service menu. I most certainly didn’t get perturbed when Jessica ordered one on in her room. That’s said Karen might have got upset and wanted to talk to management about their food offerings..

    At least there’s an off button. Karens, not so easily silenced.

    Useless, and they break/leak. When it's time to hunt down a Lusso T, I'll be looking for the "low-spec" kind of car, with no passenger display and a hardtop roof. Aging Italian tech is no bueno.

    I’m just glad I got my Puro before they made it standard. It’s nice to look over and see glossy black plastic instead of a screen.

    When I let my friend drive my 296 it was cools seeing the revs, speed, etc. In prior iterations the passengers rarely interact/ use it. I think they are afraid.

    There's other aging Italian tech in a Lusso T. I would look for the 1960s version.

    They are useless as you can't do anything on them other than view some worthless info that the passenger probably wouldn't understand anyway.... BUT, it s a must have for me as it makes the interior that much cooler. I wouldn't get a newer Ferrari without it.
