As an owner of a model Y, I never access the screen for car features except for the glovebox, which I use maybe twice a year, while in park.
I just get in and drive. Everything is automated and set to my preferences when I sit down. It’s frankly crazy how many knobs and buttons I press in my Sante Fe just to back out of the driveway.
Every other complaint is applicable to any modern car, or even decades-old luxury cars for that matter. My 2011 Genesis had mirrors that angled down in reverse, it’s considered a safety feature for kids and animals.
I guess if you care about these issues then don’t get a Tesla, but the notion that you need to fiddle with your car while driving is now foreign to me. Lights, temperature, heated seats, and wipers just do their thing when you expect them to. Turn signals turn off when you finish turning. Any music genre or artist ready at the press of a button on the wheel. I don’t know what else you would do while driving - or why you would want to.
Complaining about the lack of an analog speedometer is something to be said about 1999, not 2023. But what it does say, is that there wasn’t anything more substantive to complain about. In my opinion that speaks volumes about how well the car was designed.
