Yep, so much info we don't get on the OEM dashboard anymore... Oil temp (heck, coolant temp in some cases!), voltage, oil pressure...

On some hybrids I've even seen the RPM gauge (tachometer) missing. And while I understand that isn't directly translatable to electric vehicles... It's just a point that the dash has been getting over simplified for a long time now, taking away knowledge from users.
