This is why I think this gauge location will not pass federal law regulations.

Fed regs on gauges are you need a gas gauge and a speedometer (and possibly an idiot light for obd2, cant remember), everything else is considered "convenience". You don't HAVE to have anything else to drive a vehicle. Because of that manufacturers can add, remove, or move to a weird location as they see fit. Hell go drive a scion or prius, they have the gauge cluster in the center of the car .. if that stuff can be taken out of the line of sight and pass some "non essential" gauges can be put in the back seat for all the feds care.
Check out some of the early 2000's Saturn's, They came with a tac, speedo, gas, and idiot light.. and that was it. While other manufacturers have overloaded gauges.
