Wipers and turn signals are physical controls, I don’t find them much different than any other car.

I haven’t had to change heat/cool settings, I have it set to 70F and I haven’t had to adjust it.

See. I'm a hacker. I need to control things. I bought the car and want access to it.

There’s an API and even third party buttons.

I don’t think there’s any other modern car getting so much scrutiny. Ironically it is making it so much better than competitors they basically have no chance to catch up.

I think you're describing Tesla, I have no idea lacking context. You couldn't pay me to drive Tesla at this point.
