Wrt. tesla the interior (especially the dash) is a major sticking point for "petrolheads". Folks like the dials and levers on ICE - the touch screen and ikea style finish is quite dissonant.
- franga2000 5y agoI don't care about the finish, but I find the touchscreen to be stupid, unusable and reckless or even dangerous choice, despite being a big fan of EVs. A touch screen is only ever the optimal user interface for general purpose computers and sometimes navigating through virtual 2D/3D space. In every other use case, dedicated controls are superior in every regard.
- sgt101 5y agoIt's a valid pov. I acknowledge what you say. On the other hand I find I hardly use any of the controls or readouts in the Tesla, just the speed limit really. The indicators are on the stick, and the wipers and lights are automatic. There's not much reason to go to the touchscreen on the move - apart from the change the audio.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoThere was that article that was linked here, a few weeks ago, by Scott Jenson[0], about his experience with a Tesla Model 3. The gist was that the climate control was so difficult to use, that it was actually a safety hazard. I’ve found that haptic feedback can be quite useful. But really, there’s no substitute for good old-fashioned, user-focused design. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30140984 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30140984
