I have a '21 Limited with the digital dash. Am I the only one weirded out by the counter-clockwise sweep of the virtual tach? Every car that I've owned has the tachometer sweep in a clockwise direction except for this one. It's strange to me to see the needle move from right to left. Just a quirk I'll eventually get used to I guess.
 
It’s strange but you get used to it,

Not new, BMWs, Aston Martins, and a lot of race car setups use the counter clockwise design.

The purpose being you don’t mix up the speedo and tach when glancing at the dash, Same logic in putting gauges in race cars where all the needles point at the 12 o’clock position when they are in their perfect position, So glancing at the gauges if any one is not straight up, you know you have a problem..

keeps your attention on the road/race and not on the gauges.
 
It'd also be nice if we could configure the gauges as we wished. I would prefer the speedo on the right and tach on the left. Oh well. It does look cool though...

I will agree with this 100%, the speedo on the left bothers me more than the counter clock wise tach.
