The windshield wipers are anannoyingly bad design. If you want to alter the wiper's setting and if you don't press the little wheel-button just right or a few seconds too late then you change the radio volume or station, depending on exactly how you hit the button.

Yeah they broke the auto wipers in a past models update when they decided cameras were enough and got rid of the $1 rain sensor. The broken auto wipers weren't a deal breaker till the recent change to remove the stalk completely though.

  Yeah, it seems like a fairly small thing until you're in rain, and the wipers are going crazy over a few drops of rain, or are too slow during a heavy downpour. You're constantly interacting with this awkward setup to change the rate the wipers work at, and it's fairly easy to accidentally change the radio station or volume.

Does anyone make an EV with a user interface modeled after every car I've ever actually driven? I hated driving the Model 3. It was like an iPad on wheels. Does anything out there have normal turn signals, normal windshield wipers, a dashboard that's in front of you, and doesn't slam the brakes every time you relax your foot a little bit?

  If you are used to Big3 (4) vehicles, get a Big3 (4) vehicle. I can tell you as an automotive EE though, everything has questionable choices right now. If I wanted an EV, I think the RAM 1500 is the least offensive then the GM. Maybe the Blazer EV but you need to deal with the screen a bit more.

  I have a Chevy Bolt, it’s fine. it feels like any Chevy, more or less. I wish it charged faster, but it gets the job done

  I know it's an old platform by now, but the Nissan Leaf is very much a normal car but with an electric motor. Everything has a dedicated physical button. The speedometer has an actual needle that moves around a dial. My biggest gripe with it, is its single phase AC charging and Chademo DC charging, but for my driving pattern it's not that big of a deal.

  My SAIC (MG) is a regular car with an electric drive but quite usual otherwise (including software issues)

  An F-150 Lightning, with one pedal driving turned off seems like it'd fit the bill

  I’m renting a polestar 2 and it’s great.

  I drove a Subaru Solterra for a while, and I really enjoyed it, and it felt like a traditional car, not like a crappy tablet with a (pretty good) car bolted to it. Except the Solterra's range was kind of short and charging was more painful than a Tessa. Tesla really has charging down, and that's a big deal if you cannot charge at home or work. Teslas charging is both faster and generally works at more stations. The Solterra seemed to have more trouble syncing up, and the plug wasn't as common, so you had to plan ahead more.
