On the Tesla3, I use the on-wheel buttons for everything I need while driving.

If I really need to i.e. hunt for a particular radio station I'll do it when stopped.

I expected to dislike the screen but it's fine.

Same for me. I very rarely touch the screen while driving. And then after I do I’m like, “why didn’t I just a voice control for that?”

I was pretty worried about getting a tesla because of the screen/controls, and I spent months only considering other brands. But! No regrets.

Do you also do AC control via voice?

Tesla support this. "Set temperature to 70."

Yeah, AC is usually the only thing I touch the screen for. And since they have such good voice commands for it I’m trying to get in that groove.

But, I don’t drive every day, and when I do it’s usually a short trip, so I’m slow to build the habits.

A generic command like “make it warmer” will bump it up 3 degrees.
