I suppose it’s personal preference but the touchscreen is probably the single biggest factor why I didn’t buy a Tesla recently. I think it will be great when self driving works, but for driving it’s hard to try to touch parts of a flat screen.

Here’s an example of various controls I fiddle with while driving: temperature control through a little knob that sticks out; Heated seats through a button with sight curve around borders; Apple CarPlay through a knob.

There’s also no heads up display to present speed and nav onto the windshield.

All these things are good for me to look at the road and not have to precisely touch something with at least a few seconds of focus.

I have friends who love their Tesla and love the touch screen so it may just be my control style that doesn’t work.

I suspect Apple would get this stuff better.
