Tesla's touch screen interface is probably one of the worst interface decisions in car history. It takes two taps on your touch screen to just open a glovebox - in what way is that better than a handle, which is completely intuitive, way faster, and usable without having to look at a screen. Or their fans, where you have to use the touch screen to change their direction - why not just have a tab you can move around like every other car. In my Honda Fit, I can adjust the temperature and fan direction in about 2 seconds without taking my eyes off the road. In a Tesla it requires me to look at a screen and tap like 10 times to navigate the menus.
Touch screens are a much worse interface that physical interfaces in many cases, especially when you are driving. I don't understand why you would take away almost all feedback and speed from some control, and consider it progress.
