that screen in the Tesla is my biggest gripe with them, suspect many people think it's "cool and trendy" but step and think about it and it isn't the right thing to do IMHO.
I think BMW when the HUD is specified, have it just about right although I do agree that the lack of red lighting at night this time means they've messed up something fundamental there. Would be easy to address though.
I also like the fact you can switch off the idrive display so for longer night drives , you can just concentrate on what's outside and let your eyes adjust to the light levels OUTSIDE. Bright lights inside can ruin your night vision.
If I remember my night flying rating correctly, it can take as long as 30 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the dark fully and that can be destroyed very quickly if subjected to bright lights.

Despite that, I think you very quickly forget how good the ergonomics are in a Beemer until you drive something else.
