I feel like I'm in the perfect position to comment on this. I drive a 2019 Tesla Model 3 and my girlfriend drives a 2018 Mazda CX-3. The display on the Model 3 is perfectly positioned so I don't have to lean forward and do not apply any torque to my steering wheel whatsoever to adjust the settings on the huge 15" capacitive touch screen. I also don't have to migrate my eyes any further from the road than I would to find a physical button on a dashboard due to the close, raised position of the Model 3's display and I can see perfectly fine out the windshield while adjusting everything on the display. The buttons are also larger with a 15" display compared to the tiny 7" display which is located very far away on the dashboard of the CX-3. The position and size of the display on the Mazda has the side effect of me rarely even attempting to use the touch features of the display, but when I do I have to lean forward which may cause me to apply slight torque to the wheel. Based on my experience, Mazda needs a larger display located closer to the driver if they want to make use of touch controls without the side effects they mention. The wheel method is horribly clunky and takes more thinking to get to the control you want to adjust. It's much faster and safer I believe being able to access the control quickly and in a position that doesn't require you to take your eyes far away from the road. You still have to look at the display and process your control movements when using the dial control on the Mazda and it takes longer. Tesla has a better UI by far. If you haven't driven a Model 3 yet, I recommend doing so before commenting against touch screen UX.
