I was with you up until the climate controls.
Any control you can find in a 1997 Hyundai Accent should be physical.
Anything else can be hidden behind a touchscreen because I'm not going to use it while driving anyway.
My big request would be to drop the USB cable. I don't know why I need to connect both USB and Bluetooth. I'd love to just leave my cell in my bag where it belongs instead of advertising yet another reason why someone should smash my windows in!
Really the only thing on my Tesla I ever need to access on the touchscreen while driving is the climate controls (assuming I don't want to use voice, which is a pain as it hears you wrong)
The other used to be fog lights, but I just keep those on now for extra visibility, like another day time running light.
Everything else including wipers I can do from the wheel now without having to touch the screen.
I only use voice to choose a new song/artist, I'm not trying to navigate spotify by hand while driving.
