Two notes - 1, this applies only to a pair of base models in the Korean market (for now) and 2, the info is still there, but it's on the central screen and not on the instrument cluster behind the wheel. You can see it in the article's hero image: https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/2fa717dc-2eea-4e... The thin screen is not always present, but the larger screen shows the same info upper-left.
As a driver I would be so freaking confused staring at the empty space behind the wheel. Maybe it is just my Gen X experience of learning to drive on a stick and paying attention to tachometer and coolant temp.
I've made the switch before. At first yes of course you do stare at the dash in front of the wheel for a sec before remembering it's to the side but I didn't find the learning curve too difficult. After a month or so it's second nature.
