I was hoping the Y would add just one dial for whatever is the most popular thing the touch screen is used for. Surely one nice dial wouldn't cost much or ruin the rather spartan aesthetic.

The 3 & Y have 4 way control knobs on both sides of the steering wheel that can be user assigned to various controls.

Yes, I meant one EXTRA dial. Things like temperature, volume, radio station, wiper speed, cruise control follow distance, etc. Whichever one isn't on the two 4 way control knobs would end up on the dial.

It would also be in reach of the passenger and you'd end up with less fingerprints on the screen.

Okay now THAT's cool. I drove a Model S for a while and didn't love the touchscreen, but I'm super intrigued by this idea. I'll have to get my butt in a 3 sometime.
