More and more cars come without dipsticks.
The electronic gauge (unless faulty) is good enough to know if you are inside or outside the range of reasonable. The only time (and I think this might be in the manual) to really know the proper level on the inside gauge is at cold startup systems check. And as PWave mentioned, mine too is right on with the dipstick.
