Personally, I really like the minimalism. The only physical control I've ever missed is for the windscreen wipers. And even there the automatic function has been getting a lot better lately. So yeah, cars are turning into computers. That doesn't just apply to Tesla, they just do it better. And it doesn't just apply to cars either, in case anyone has been living under a rock for the past twenty years and hasn't noticed.
I owned a Tesla for years, when it got totaled, auto wipers and auto high beams were still significantly worse than the Hyundai palisade that replaced it (on a vehicle that was well more than $10,000 cheaper).
I have CarPlay and buttons for mirrors and stalks for wipers and turn signals.
Where's my Apple Carplay or Android Auto?
Where's my actual high-tech features, like Augmented Reality Heads Up Displays? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VN4K0aHk5Y
Telsa is already years behind Hyundai with regards to computer-features. Its not about shitty iPad screens anymore, Hyundai is beaming information directly onto the windshield and using computer-vision to track your eyeballs and line up that information with real-life cars in front of you to help you understand what the lane-assist is doing.
Do you really think car fans (and technology fans) are impressed by a low-cost iPad that can't even properly connect to a modern phone?
