Having friends and family drive and being in passenger seat, never felt comfortable with people reaching for buttons, knobs for AC or radio. Interesting you find the single large touchscreen to be a bigger distraction/danger than the 20 different controls in a f150

Research shows touchscreens are much more dangerous. Even voice control is more dangerous than buttons in all but a few cases (siri and Tesla bad, Toyota okay, etc.).

What research? how is it more dangerous? If your tesla regulates AC well and spotify doesn't play Ads or bad radio signal or bad songs. Then you don't have a need to touch the buttons of the radio or the AC. Why the touchscreen is there, is to have nice entertainment while you're charging!
