It's funny, people often compare Tesla (or electric cars in general) to the transition to iPhones from our flip phones and the complaints are the exact same: "I would prefer tactile controls"
- VMG 7y agoI hope you see the difference though
- lotsofpulp 7y agoI would consider the fact that one’s eyes should be on the road while driving to make the complaints slightly different.
- gkfasdfasdf 7y agoDo you really use dashboard buttons or knobs without looking? I can't. Steering wheel buttons / stalk controls I can use without looking, but Tesla has those as well.

- ericd 7y agoI might glance quickly to find where the knob is, but I don’t have to keep my eye on it to grab it, nor (more importantly) to adjust it to where I want it.
- jaxn 7y agoModel 3 is on autopilot over 90% of the time. Meaning it is handling the mechanics of steering and acceleration. The risk of using the touchscreen in my Tesla vs using a tactile control in a traditional car is night and day in favor of the Tesla. Even if you have to look at the screen and not tactile controls.
- imtringued 7y agoIt sounds like you are abusing the autopilot for something it wasn't intended to be used for.
- jaxn 7y agoNot at all. I am fully in control of the vehicle and paying attention. I am not physically executing most maneuvers. And as a result, I am MORE alert to the conditions around me.
- rsynnott 7y agoThe success of touch phones doesn't necessarily indicate that everything should be touch-based.
- V_Terranova_Jr 7y agoMonths and thousands of miles on our Model 3, and I would still prefer tactile controls over the way Tesla does it. And this from someone who experienced input on the iphone working way better in practice than the keys on a Blackberry.
