I was able to figure everything out fine eventually. I'm just accustomed to normal car UX. It doesn't matter if it's a Toyota, Honda, GM, Ford, whatever: I can get in a car, take ten seconds to have Carplay working, and the rest of the controls are completely intuitive without any mental effort. I don't have to navigate through on-screen menus to do literally everything. The established auto manufacturers learned these ergonomics lessons over the past 50+ years, and things are designed based on that experience. Teslas just don't have that ergonomic finesse that you don't notice until it's not there. If you feel like you're doing sysadmin work to operate your car, the designer screwed up.
Tesla didn't cram everything into a screen because it's the superior ergonomic design, they did it because it's cheap. It definitely feels cheap and very mentally cumbersome.
