I understand that part - but why have touchscreens for core functionalities that won't change?

Like switching the AC on/off. You can hide away all the complex thermostat settings in the touchscreen but at least give me a physical AC button.

Saw the new Rivian and it has touchscreen controls for moving the AC vents around! What could ever change in the near future that moving the AC vents needs a feature upgrade?



>touchscreen controls for moving the AC vents around

Tesla has the same and it has changed the UI for AC operation in the past. To be clear, I'm not convincing people that it is a good thing and I understand the frustration. But I personally like how the car changes, the same way I like how iOS changes.
