Understood as I was worried about the exact same things but after a week or maybe even a day of driving a model 3 I don’t miss tactile at all, the screen makes sense, and I like the Tesla software better than I did CarPlay on my previous car. I know those seem like bold/ridiculous statements, but it’s really all surprisingly well thought out

Interesting! I Guess I have my expectations super low given previous experience with car UI.

This is exactly right. The UI in cars is terrible. The Tesla UI is top notch.
I even implemented one of the UI elements in my sass application. I can't imagine saying that about any other car "infotainment" system.
It is really nice to have maps/nav/spotify NOT dependent on my phone or even my phone's cellular connection. There is zero latency from the time I sit down in the driver's seat until I am ready to go. Nothing to connect. Nothing to boot. No apps to open up.
I walk up to my car. Open the door. Sit down. Push a button on the steering wheel. Say "Drive home". Push down on the "stalk" (turn signal, but on the right). And press the accelerator. No key or fob. No ignition. No gear shift.
