>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?
- light_hue_1 3y agoI 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.
- pandaman 3y ago>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?
- mulmen 3y agoIs 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"?
- light_hue_1 3y agoHey! 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
