I only test drove one, but I felt very overwhelmed in the 30 minutes I had it - and I was coming from a car with strong adaptive cruise/lane centering.
* wipers were not at all obvious to me. I don’t remember speed control and wash being physical.
* many of the actions are on the same physical button and context specific. While it would be fine after I get use to the car, very overwhelming

- wipers - button at the end of left side stalk, half press for single wipe, full press for wash. Some seconds after this the left thumb wheel left/right can be used to adjust wiper speed (this last has come as a sw update within this year).
Wiper automation/rain sensing on Tesla is in general rather poor, I wish they would give up on their camera ideology for reliable sensors or at least made the sw good.
- adaptive cruise control is single down pull on right stalk. With lane keeping activated by a double pull. Speed adjusted with scrolling right thumb wheel and distance right thumb wheel left/right.
There are dedicated tactile buttons for:
- wipers
- turning signals
- high-low beams
- cruise control (with distance modifications and speed change)
- media, volume, play/pause, prev/next
- drive selection
- power window controls for all windows
- hazard lights
- dome/reading lights
On touchscreen:
- cabin temperature is always visible and in the same place on screen
- navigation input is always visible and same place
- you can have shortcuts for functions you would need immediately
Touchscreen is as responsive/fast as current gen iPad and probably more intuitive (tho this is subjective).
