I think this is great. I don’t want these buttons and am happy with the way Tesla has added functionality to the left scrollwheel, but I know people that think they need buttons, and if this can help them get a Tesla and be happier with the UI, then it’s all the better.

I mean i just like cars with buttons, wasn't exactly meant to be a well thought out critique of the company or their practices.

Do turning stalks next! The lack of turning stalks on the new model 3 removes it from consideration in any place that has roundabouts.

Why is that? We have tonnes of roundabouts in Australia. I hadn’t considered they might be a problem without stalks.

The only buttons I ever are use are open trunk, open frunk and open glovebox.

The glovebox is the real killer. Absolute worst design decision putting no button or handle to open the glovebox manually.

Same, that's why I don't buy this crap (also because I'm poor)

I'm all for modding a car to your taste - and if manufactures wish to take steps to make that easier than that's even more exciting. But a lot of people (including myself) enjoy the minimalistic interior. So... let's keep it a choice, ok?
