A lot of this is obviously just personal preference, but the spaceship-like display is the exact reason (well, not the only reason, but a big and emblematic one) that I don't want a Tesla. I have driven them. I do not like the interface. I want a "regular car" that happens to be electric, not something that's trying to be a smartphone on wheels.

I totally get not wanting that experience, and I'm glad that we're at a point with EV development that the styles are proliferating so people have those choices. Personally I just love the disruption Tesla has caused to the "idea" of a car and its interface. I hope it'll encourage other car manufacturers to reconsider how they do their interfaces--even if they don't consolidate all their controls into the touchscreen, I hope at the very least the media systems in cars start being of higher-quality, now that people see what's possible.
- yardie 6y agoI tested the Model Y and this was my impression as well. Everything about the car was great but the human factor. I need my dashboard at eyelevel to the windshield, not down and to my right. I need more controls that do a few things. Not few controls that try to do too many things. They literally took decades of research in automotive human factors research and dumped it in the trash. And now they are going to have to discover those lessons all over again.
