I believe it still has a steering wheel. And pedals. Which are the main things you need for a visceral driver experience. For knobs and dials there's always, I don't know, ham radio. When I'm driving, I just want to drive. Or, sometimes, be driven.

There can be more to it, that doesn't also detract from it. In a track oriented car, there can be switches and dials to manage things like cooling, fueling, brake bias, boost levels, suspension stiffness and setup, and so on. This car likely has all that stuff, except fueling and boost levels of course, but if it's all accessed from a touchscreen, in my opinion that detracts from the experience.

Yeah I see what you mean. I guess for everyday driving I don't miss toggle switches and I still have plenty of fancy physical multi-axis spinning clicking rocking buttons to play with (in the Model 3). I like the overall experience a lot and I bet you would too ;-) as most people who like driving do when they try the car.
