Personally I don’t want any controls on the infotainment screen behind some touchscreen. Physical buttons are easier, safer, and quicker, as is a well designed HUD.

I consider the fact Tesla requires you to poke around in its software a huge design flaw and safety concern.

I can’t think of the last time I had to use my cars software over CarPlay - all the apps I need are there, and they do things teslas can’t that I rely on

I like the lack of any screen in front of my face - no distractions, just the road. The buttons on the steering wheel are all I need. Voice control works fine as well.

I used CarPlay in my old car, it was great, thought I would miss it in a Tesla, but nope, I can see my phone screen fine from the dock and bluetooth audio works as well.

Weird to hear given teslas have more screens then basically everything else out there.

This is because most cars other than Tesla have terrible software.

> they do things teslas can’t that I rely on

I'm curious what these are.
