Tesla's tablet-controls are insanely stupid, dangerous, and infuriating.
All false except the last one.
I just have to interject specifically that touch screen controls which require looking at and touching an 2D image based control (as opposed to a physical button than can be activated by position and feel alone) have been scientifically proven to diminish operators' focus on other tasks.
See this thread about the touchbar: https://forums.macresource.com/read.php?...sg-2814226
I don't own stock in Tesla, but that list is mostly ridiculous. I'd need to see data that showed Teslas are more dangerous to drive on the whole.
Tbh, I have believed a lot of that stuff, but with real experience, I can say it's pretty much rubbish. For example, hard paint vs soft paint. There are disadvantages/advantages to both (soft scratches more easily, but it's easier to buff scratches out). I've also found there's almost no reason to futz with anything that can't wait until I stop a light, etc. The most oft used stuff is opened by touching the corners, which I don't have to look at to do anyway. The only thing I can think of that I would like is a volume knob.
edit: What are the controls people are worried about? I just haven't noticed things being that big a pain, but maybe I just don't futz with stuff that much.
