In most cases, you don't.
These days, a high percentage of cars come equipped with a rev counter, or tachometer, but this was not always the case. Most of the tachometers I recall from my youth were aftermarket gauges strapped to the steering column or mounted on the dashboard. The most common ones were large chrome-plated things made by Sun. Factory-installed tachs were extremely rare, and actually unavailable in most car models. Tachometers were associated more with racing -- and those of us who wished we were racers -- than with everyday driving, and it is in racing and in performance diagnostics that tachometers are most useful.
My '04 Chevy pickup has one. I almost never look at it. It could stop working altogether and I probably wouldn't notice for a while.
