This isn't a study. It's a "test" run by a Swedish car magazine, analogous to Car & Driver or Motor Trend, and similarly captured by its advertising base. Auto industry rags have always hated Tesla, for fairly obvious reasons, and it's sort of a running joke within the Tesla community.
Does that mean it's wrong? No. But it does mean you need to apply some salt. This isn't first principles science being reported, as you seem to have been led to believe.
- baq 4y agoMy 10yo car has touchscreen control for aircon and it sucks really bad. My other 2019 car has physical knobs and buttons and it’s amazing. Not saying I wouldn’t get a Tesla because of that, but if physical was an option (and I was in the market for teslas) I’d pick it anytime.
- nkozyra 4y agoThere have been a lot of tests and studies about this in the past and they generally confirm what would be self evident.
- ajross 4y agoLinks? I'm genuinely not aware of any; certainly none relevant to the auto industry.
- nkozyra 4y agoReally? Many have occurred and easily discovered with a quick Google. In my grad school CS human computer interaction we reviewed a lot of prior work and individually did our own. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-50523-3_20 https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-50523-3_... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cartoq.com/physical-buttons-in-cars-are-better-than-touchscreens-study/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cartoq.com/physical-buttons... https://www.google.com/amp/s/arstechnica.com/cars/2022/08/yes-touchscreens-really-are-worse-than-buttons-in-cars-study-finds/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/arstechnica.com/cars/2022/08/ye... And many more. This largely confirms something that seems intuitive anyway.
- ajross 4y agoUh... your third link is coverage of the same non-study being discussed, your second is an auto-generated link farm page that puts "study" in the title but doesn't even talk about one, and the first is a real study that absolutely does not substantiate what you're claiming. Maybe link the "many more"?
