I'm very glad, the lack of buttons are a safety hazard... Looking at these stupid TESLA cars especially... You can't even adjust the AC without messing with the touchscreen, which means your eyes are not on the road...
Still not going to own a car, but at least it will be slightly safer by bringing back physical buttons, so hurray for small victories.
I said the same to a Tesla owner who informed me buttons on the steering wheel provide all these functionalities. But upvoters don't own a Tesla.
Not all functionalities. You can't even adjust the direction/power of the AC or open the glovebox without multiple presses on the touchscreen.
There's no physical button to open the glovebox? Better not keep anything critical in there in case of a software failure.
Either software or hardware failure of the big infotainment system can suck really badly, and TESLA is also an anti-repair company too...
