I would love a hybrid approach: gimme touchscreens, gimme some physical controls especially for hardware actions like popping the trunk. C'mon, a software update isn't going to delete my trunk, so put a button for it.
- margaretdouglas 6y agoThat's how Crew Dragon works, I wish Elon would apply that process to his cars.

- zamfi 6y ago> gimme some physical controls especially for hardware actions like popping the trunk I'm with you on this, but it's a pretty great example of when a touchscreen isn't a safety hazard: very unlikely I'll want to pop the trunk while I need to keep my eyes on the road.
- p1mrx 6y agoWhat if someone's trying to rear end me, and the trunk is where I keep my inflatable ramp?
- smrq 6y agoBut you might want to pop the trunk containing your jumper cables if your battery is dead.
- zbrozek 6y agoThat would be great. My older BMW doesn't let me do that despite having physical buttons for almost everything. I got stranded once because of this. Manual said to call roadside assistance, which is real helpful when I don't have cell service.
- zamfi 6y agoYes, though that's a different requirement -- most trunk "buttons" are electronically, not mechanically, connected to the latch, aren't they?
