I was fascinated by the central display with the views from the rear and side cameras being available, as well as having the physical mirrors as well (less excuse for not 'seeing' another car). Can you enlighten me on the drivetrain image where certain parts kept changing colour? The battery one was obvious starting of green and eventually ending up red.

I'm pretty sure that a status display, so I very much doubt he could have done back-to-back runs in his M3P without letting the battery cool off, as it's not really built to do that - unlike a MS Plaid, which has rectified that shortcoming...
