* Analogue speed indicator. I know EVs do not need tachometers, so mēh, but the speed indication must be an analogue display. The data might be digital but my brain is not.
* Door handles - well duh!
* glove box with a knob (it is not a safe, I do not need a safe in my car, I do not lock my car in normal situations, it is not secure, trying to make it secure is asking your thief to destroy things they leave behind as well as steal the stuff they take away. I learnt that the hard way)
* Data sharing default off. WTF? If you want my data - pay for it!
The user interface of a car has developed over more than a century. Trying to change it all at once is stupid. It is hating your users.
Disrespect for car users like this is not unique to Tesla.
- zzo38computer 3y agoI do not drive a car, but I agree, even as a passenger. I think it should have no data sharing at all (it should not connect to the internet, nor any radio communication other than that explicitly selected by the operator (AM and FM radio, receive only, with no software updates)). I also think that many parts should not need computers to operate (including the doors, windows, and lights). Furthermore, they should have manually operable windows. And, the different subsystems (e.g. driving, audio/clock, heating/cooling, etc) should be isolated from each other, to improve security and to allow powering off the subsystems which are not in use. And if you really want a locked glove box then I suppose you could add your own lock. I also don't like touch screens on other computers, whether or not it is in the car. But, at least the electric cars do not have the fuel, noise, exhaust, etc of other cars, so there is one advantage, but that could be done without all of the other problems, I think.
