I don't have a Tesla but my Dodge Charger also uses the touch screen for most controls. I don't have a problem with it. It still had physical buttons and knobs for things that matter. I have physical buttons on the wheel for phone/medial controls, and physical buttons for adjusting temperature. There are a few more physical buttons. Everything else I do on the touch screen and it works great. And this is on a much smaller touch screen than the Tesla. Touch screen per se is not an issue as long as the important controls are not buried deep in the UI.

The Charger isn't a great example of using the touch screen for "most controls", because if the inside of your Charger looks anything like this (I just Googled for a photo) http://cdn.pinthiscars.com/images/dodge-charger-2013-interior-wallpaper-7.jpg http://cdn.pinthiscars.com/images/dodge-charger-2013-interio... Then you have buttons and knobs for turning the sound system on and off, adjusting the volume, adjusting the temperature, turning the fan on and off, adjusting the fan speed, toggling the A/C, recirculating air, front defrost, and rear defrost, as well as having a physical knob to scroll through and select options on the screen. I'm sure that there are additional things you can do on the screen, like navigation and more advanced climate control, but you can definitely operate the important controls without needing to take your eyes off the road. That's the complaint about the Tesla screen - not that it exists, but that there aren't buttons and knobs for the important controls.

  Most of the controls you just described have tactile steering wheel controls in a Tesla.
