All I want is a volume knob and to get rid of the XL tablets on the console. Some of us can see the road fine but not as great up close. It’s honestly more of a safety risk to have some of the current setups.

But my car is 12 years old and still in good shape…fingers crossed.

With the Tesla Model 3, most things you need are on the steering wheel anyways. Volume, cruise, skip, follow distance, answer calls, etc. but there is a big infotainment system for everything else. I don’t mind it because I love the customization of where my buttons are rather than the crappy default of however the manufacturer sets up the buttons.

Problem is Tesla is removing the turn signal and shifter stalks. The turn signal will be a button on the wheel, and shifter will be on the touch screen.

Yea, that’s not how the older Model 3 works. I wish they weren’t doing that. The blinker and shifter stalk are so easy.
