On: Hyundai promises to keep buttons in cars

I was sort of in the anti-touchscreen camp too, but the early 2020 Tesla has just the right controls on the wheel and stocks that I don’t mind the screen. And, also, the big screen for maps and backup cameras is really nice.

Well the anti touch screen camp is more accurately a "don't take my dials and buttons" camp

This is really it for me. I don't mind having a touch screen; I just want to never have to use it while I'm driving.

I'd call it more don't make what was one press of a button into five taps on a touch screen.

Plus gloves in winter regions we wear gloves 6 months of the year.

The automatic (#1) steering wheel heater would help you with that, it's the one feature I didn't know how much I needed. And that's just from Melbourne, Aus, where it gets down to about -1c to 2-3c (30-37f) at the most. :-)

I don't find myself needing to dig into any menus whilst driving. I use voice control to change music etc, and I tend to enter my nav at the beginning of my trips. You can still control volume and pause with steering wheel buttons. I'd like call answering and hang-up buttons as well for the steering wheel.

As a Fanatec Podium owner/sim-racer I'm used to having more physical buttons and there's definitely room for more underneath + on the back. I would like some for immediately folding mirrors and a few other functions.

#1) Automation of steering wheel warmer was a recent OTA; previously it was manual.
