I think Teslas make you use the touchscreen for adjusting the cruise control speed

This is incorrect. In fact you cannot adjust the cruise speed via the touch screen at all.

Apparently this was actually changed in an early software update to the TM3, and cruise initially was engaged via the screen though!

You can still adjust the cruise speed via touchscreen. There is a plus/minus on either side of the displayed cruise speed.

Not on the Model 3, it's a physical knob on the steering wheel.

It is outdated.

You can use the screen as described, but it is much quicker to roll the right steering wheel button up/down to adjust TACC speed. You can also push it left/right to adjust follow distance.

I rarely touch the screen while driving my Model 3 (or while my Model 3 is driving me).
