It's the same problem as displaying the battery percentage on your phone. you're more inclined to look at it, and will be more anxious when that number drops.

I wish Tesla would allow you to hide the battery percentage entirely (unless it drops below a threshold).

Huh? Do you constantly stare at a car gas gauge too? Battery level is important information for planning your usage, with both phones and cars.
