I just realized I have the EXACT same problem seeing the speedometer while trying to press the button on the passenger door to roll down the window while driving... this is UNACCEPTABLE and an obvious design flaw!

It feels goofy tilted up, I like it low. I just think it would be logical to put it in the middle I don't need to see the RPMs make that smaller.
Then lower the seat down, a lot of folks like to have the seat up so high but I drive with mine all the way down.

Just use the "external" speedometers. You live in SoCal; I'm guessing that you have as many of these around as I do in Northern Virginia:

It's bugged me with every vehicle I've owned, and I was hoping Ford would have solved it, but nope. When driving and trying to look at the speedometer the curve of the steering wheel is exactly in line with the curve of the numbers on the speedometer blocking the view. I was hoping we could get heads up display but not on the 2023, it sucks having to move your head around to view your speed when a cop is behind you. Here's what I see when looking at the speedometer. I know the steering wheel moves, but this is what's comfortable when driving.

Fun post haha

I'm lazy. I use easy exit and my memory settings to get things just right. just so happens i can see the speed though i hardly look these days. i just set cruise and resume when i have to brake.
