This can't end up well. The Tesla's get a lot of stuff right but trying to get everything into that touch screen is a mistake in my eyes.

I really don't think they get that much right. Everything above the drive train is subpar for vehicles much cheaper than theirs, and now it's become clear that they're less reliable too.

They also moved the indicators to the steering wheel in what looks like touch capacitive buttons. That also seems like a mistake to me over an actual stalk.

Is that what those circle things are on the wheel?
Musk's reply sounds like their AI will automatically turn the left/right on and you have to over ride with a touch screen - which to me sounded like a center console... Either way based on the many posts/videos on their current ML I don't think either is a good idea.

I don't think they're "circle things". You're probably confusing them for the normal steering wheel controls that were already in the Model 3.
