I really, really don't want to use a touch screen while driving. Unfortunately it's looking like my options will be very slim on that front even outside of Tesla by the next time I have to buy a car.
Just the other day I was considering what a modular synth UX for an electronic vehicle might look like. e.g. a satisfying AD/ADSR and cutoff with weighty knobs, precision milled rails and bearings.
It may be niche, but really, if I could tweak the power curve of my accelerator, and have my driving experience as an expression of those micro "tonal" adustments, I wonder if that could really make the electric vehicle experience.
I'm in the same camp, can't stand touch screens while driving.
I've been researching EVs and there are still cars with physical controls, e.g. Kia Niro, Hyundai Ioniq 5.
If you look at YouTube reviews of cars, the lack of physical controls is often one of the things they complain about. I'm convinced car makers are paying attention to feedback on this topic, and hopefully it's a fad that will die soon.
