They really don't suck. The Tesla UI is the best I've ever used in why car. They're unfamiliar to you. The seat memory does remember. Not just for the physical key, but for your phone. You do nothing. If my wife gets in the car, it sets up the car for her. If I do, it sets it up for me. Neither of us touch anything, it's automatic depending on where our phones are. The steering buttons aren't labeled for a reason! Because you can remap them. Which is awesome, because I can set them up exactly how I like them. I can put all the functionality you mentioned on the steering buttons. It doesn't need an idrive button. It has voice. I don't look at the car to navigate. I tell it what I want. Same with other non critical functions. It needs zero phone interactions. I walk to the car and open the door. That's it. I don't look at the phone. Don't wait. It just works. For every door and the trunk. You just never think about it. The Tesla does all the things you listed vastly better. You just haven't learned to set them up and use them.

>It doesn't need an idrive button. It has voice. Every car has voice, it just does not work well in the US because street and establishment names are often not real words in English, people don't know how they are pronounced and, even if they do, the car itself has different ideas about pronunciation. iDrive guarantees that you can get to the "Manet st" and not the "Monet st". >The Tesla does all the things you listed vastly better. Don't you need to get into menus to change the A/C air direction/temperature/pressure in a Tesla? How is it better than operating a physical dial/lever for example? Especially for the people on the rear seat? Also, the glove box latch is in the menu too, is not it?

  I never have trouble telling it what street I'm going to. And no. I never go into the menus for the AC. I do it though voice.

    >I never have trouble telling it what street I'm going to. Well, good for you, perhaps you are the person the voice models had been trained on. >And no. I never go into the menus for the AC. I do it though voice. What about the passengers on the rear seat? And how is it "vastly better" to change the AC direction through voice than just to pull the lever until it's blowing in the right direction?

    Is this why I have to ask my Uber driver to turn the rear seat heater on? How do I even interact with the voice control as a passenger? Am I supposed to say "Hey Elon, warm my ass"?

      Hey! There's plenty to be critical about. It just isn't the BS being brought up in this thread so far from people who just don't know how to use the car. But you're spot on! The fact that people in the rear have no amenities is one of the big downsides of Tesla. And that rear seat heater? You need to pay extra to unlock it! I hope they choke on their $200

That is mostly just your opinion, not facts. I returned my car because of problems like these (and the awful build quality). Not everyone agrees with what Tesla do, and that is fine.

  There are plenty of things to complain about. But the ones you mentioned are literally not problems. You just didn't know how to use the car if you needed phone interactions to open the car, or didn't have seat memory working, or didn't set up your steering buttons. That's not a matter of opinion, those are facts.
