    Touch screens are so dumb.

    • AC controls, control surface heating heating/cooling (steering wheel, seat etc)
    • Volume controls
    • Turns, wipers, lights
    • Fog lights

    Basically everything you might touch during the drive should be physical.

        Tesla for a very long time had wiper speed on the touch screen. Wipers were supposed to be automatic so they didn’t provide physical controls. But of course auto wipers don’t work all the time and Tesla’s camera detector is particularly bad. They since changed the steering button to bring up touch control.

        Tesla and VW’s idiotic light controls are touch (but not a screen) so you have to take your eyes off the road to turn fog lights on and off. The panel is completely flat and there’s a risk you might turn the main beam off. I mean, the mind boggles.

        I know about Aç and volume controls. I hope the rest are not (yet) on touch screens.

        I think on the newly revised model 3, Tesla removed the steering column stalks completely.
