There has to be something like this added for us, we don't have any "RPM" info at all on the display! Even the Model 3 and Y have that bar that goes green or black. Who else things we need something similar?

I would have liked to see that as an option on the driver's display, but this isn't a deal breaker.

It would be interesting to see. But after the first couple of weeks, I would learn how hard to push the go pedal to achieve 50% power. Or 100% power. Or when I exceed 100% into Boost. After that, it would become another gauge to ignore.

the only way I'd use this would be how I use the similar feature on the Fusion Energi today, which is as a coach (and that's how it's intended to be used on the Fusion Energi) to help me understand when I'm driving "well" in real time.

that said, I do think that the Mach-E having more in the way of such live coaching would be good.

tbh one of the disappointments I have right with the Mach-E instrument cluster is that my 2013 has a much more customizable and informative (and frankly, much nicer looking) gauge cluster. But this is a brand new display design so it's reasonable for it to start somewhere, then be expanded with OTAs.

I’ve been looking for the Turbo Boost gauge ?
Also, I’ve been trying to find information on overclocking Sync 4A ?

totally agree!

I would like to see actual kW load/regen.... not just %. The data (HV voltage and motor current) is in there, I can see it with ODB reader on phone app, it just needs a display on instrument cluster. Seems like a trivial coding change to make the horizontal mode stripes display a bar with appropriate kW demarcations from -100kw to +300kW or whatever the actual regen/load limits are.
