I'm perfectly happy with the touch screen in my Tesla S 70D. It has rid the car of the ridiculous clutter of buttons, dials, knobs, and switches that seem to be just sprinkled all over most other cars.
All the critical functions of the car are controlled by steering column stalks, steering wheel scroll buttons and the brake and accelerator pedals, and the critical visual feedback is in the dashboard.

- neuralRiot 7y agoWhat’s the problem with buttons? It’s a car, it’s main function is transportation, it should first serve transportation in safe manner then the showroom. To me the model 3 interior looks hideous, stripped of everything just to look futuristic.
- kwhitefoot 7y agoI can't comment much on the Model 3 as I have never sat in one much less driven one. However, as far as I know the steering column controls are pretty much the same as on the Model S so as far as controls are concerned it's pretty much the same. The big difference is that there is no speedometer, etc., directly in front of the driver. Most of the buttons on a modern car, in fact all cars I have owned, have little to do with transportation and much more to do with media selection and control and control of ancillary functions that are not directly to do with driving the car. I'm quite happy that those buttons have been collected in a set of screens instead of being littered all over the centre console. This is my considered opinion after more than 20 thousand miles in the Model S and after more than forty years of driving a variety of British, Scandinavian, European, American, and Japanese cars.
