That touchscreen definitely concerns me. I used to drive a Saab 900, and my favorite feature was this big "black panel" button that shut off all interior lights save the speedometer (when the fuel hit 1/4 tank, that backlight also turned on). Can anybody who's driven the S say whether it's possible to shut off the panel? I love the car, but having this huge glowing monstrosity right in the corner of my eye would just ruin night driving for me.

Wow. For such a curvaceous exterior, what an ugly dashboard. The interior is probably still being designed so I honestly hope that, besides providing some physical buttons, the final dashboard looks nothing like that.
My family's q7 has default cabin illumination when the headlights are on. It took me 2 months to notice that was the case. As long as the screen dims automatically when not in use, I think that most people won't mind, but I could be wrong. I'd also imagine that Tesla was smart enough to think about having a way to hibernate the screen.
