Personally I so want a Tesla because they are undoubtedly the best performers in the market today. However I won’t buy one until they also start being practical. I suspect my first EV will be from one of the traditional manufacturers because they all know how to make a car with proper controls. A 30” touchscreen is cool and a nice additional way to control stuff but absolutely terrible if it’s the only way. I’m guessing Elon Musk knows this but hoped he’d be able to make self driving work before now so that controls would be useless anyway. Unfortunately some of the traditional makers EVs are copying the mistakes of kitchen appliance makers, substituting proper buttons, levers and knobs for touch buttons and touchscreens as well.
