Physical buttons will now be a paid option on vehicles...
When they should have been mandated long ago for safety reasons.
This was my first thought. I've never even been in a Tesla, so I didn't know they didn't have the basic functions on buttons. In terms of safety, having a specific button in a known location that does a specific thing is extremely important.
How does it work on a Tesla, voice control? That might be good. If you have to scroll through menus on a tablet to turn the A/C up or down, that's a severe safety issue (and likely illegal in many countries to do while the equivalent of the ignition is on).
"hey Tesla, turn on the defroster"
---"ok, indicating right"
"No! I need defrost!"
---"I didn't get that, say again"
"Turn on the windshield defrost"
---"ok, wipers on high"
Welcome to the world of tomorrow!
You've used Tesla voice control I see.. :p
