To my eyes there is hardly anything uglier than the Tesla Model X, and Tesla's interiors are garbage across the board. You can't _see_ anything in the Tesla except for the gigantic TV. Maybe I'm strange, but I feel that being able to see out of the vehicle at night is still very important in these waning days of the human-driven car. Unfortunately many EV makers are trying to ape Tesla's look and feel, so the Bolt includes a large but not enormous touchscreen display, and graphical instruments as well. But at least they are using hard knobs and buttons for the climate controls.

You do know that at dawn/dusk Tesla switches to a night-mode that's dark themed? Never been an issue seeing at night.

  There's still a ton of light coming out of it no matter what color the panel thinks it is displaying. If it was OLED that would be one thing but it's not. I find driving in my Tesla at night to be very disturbing. I know I'm not in the majority any more since I see so many people driving down the freeway at night with a huge phablet mounted front and center on their windshield, but those people are universally crazy. At night your car's instruments should be very gently illuminated by red or amber lights or LEDs, the way baby Jesus meant for things to be when he invented the BMW E30. http://i.imgur.com/Yt4n7.jpg?4661 http://i.imgur.com/Yt4n7.jpg?4661

    Every car maker and model has to reinvent things like the speed dial, in an ever worsening way. When the good, the intermediate and the bad designs have all been done, only truly atrocious gimmicks are left.

    You can either use automatic adjustment of brightness and color scheme when it gets dark, or you can adjust it yourself. You can make it so dark you can barely see anything. It's not a problem in practice.
