I'll consider buying a Tesla when all functionality can be accessed via physical buttons.


I really wish they offered physical buttons. They could easily mock up a physical button 'break out box' and connect it to the system. It's how keyboards and mice have worked for eons...


Same, but I expect it wont happen. Looking forward to more options from other manufacturers that are capable of making a reasonable separation between what is vital and what is convenience or entertainment... and also generally not using touch screens for _anything_ while moving.


I doubt there is a single car on the market today that satisfies this demand.


BMW, at least the 2021 3 series.

And probably other cars that are commonly used in cold climates where people wear gloves.


Fun fact: The only physical button in those Teslas is the hazard light toggle, because those are required by law to be physical controls.


And glove box release.

Of course, there are buttons on the steering wheel and the stalks.

Edit: Model S, I don't know about others.
