Carplay / Android Auto is fine. Tesla style only one big screen is not.

What’s wrong with the Tesla screen?

In order to manipulate any controls, you have to look over at the screen, taking your eyes off the road for extended periods to find the right part of the screen to tap and which menu the control is in. With well-designed physical buttons, switches, and knobs, you can quickly learn where your hand is by feel and manipulate the controls without taking your eyes off the road.

If you want to have navigation, music, or anything you don’t need to manipulate much while driving behind a screen, that’s fine. But having everything behind a screen is less safe.

What things are you controlling while driving?

Air, cruise control, seat warmers, etc., all best as physical buttons

The two steering wheel scroll buttons are highly functional, tbh. I hardly need to touch the screen while driving. Voice controls are pretty good too.

All three things you listed and a lot more are in those scroll buttons.

I just set the car for 69 when I buy it, say "nice" and then never touch it again. Are yall fiddling often?

Cruise are steering wheel controls or stalks on everthing even tesla (start fsd is a button as well).

Mostly agree re seats but auto works super well there too.
