Here's mine at normal operating temp. When the engine is cold the dashes go up to the 6250 RPM mark.

It will decrease...I took a picture of mine cold right now. Sorry, It's dark in the parking structure. As you can (try to) see there are 9 lines.

I feel dumb. It just dawned on my that I should have turned the headlights on so that the lines would show better for the picture in the parking structure.

Although those lines do indicate temp rising. I don't think they are an accurate guide of when the car hits running temp.
If you access the secret menu you should be able to see the temp and see that the lines disappear quicker than the car hits operating temp

Ok, I am confused now... I looked in my car and I have the three hash lines just before the red mark at the 7000. These lines are fixed and do not move. Is there a diferent cluster out there?

Check out the first page of the thread - another member also has three lines as do I. A good suggestion in post 12 is if you have no lines, your car could be overheating
