I'd still rather have the turn signal cam at it's current location than not at all. When we get around to replacing our 2014 4Runner, it's definitely a feature I want.
It sucks we have to get to the point where the government has to step in to stop asshole styling departments and Musk from being idiots. I'm all for innovation, but all this stuff they've been doing is objectively substantially worse.
that's what I love the most about my car, everything is navigatable via touch screen but certain features also have hard coded physical buttons. Volume/Power, HVAC, Defrost, and Cameras are all real buttons.
If you think the Audi is annoying to own and the noises/rattles/issues are bad, don't get the Beemer.I bought a higher trim audi last year (4 door coupe, 350HP). Disappointed with how many issues it's had within just 15k miles.
Every time when starting the car, have to turn off automatic start/stop
Every time when starting the car, have to turn off audi presense because sometimes it senses an accident that isn't about to happen and stops the car at higher speeds
Rattling noise from dashboard
Tapping noise from sunroof
Chain noise when accelerating
20% lower gas mileage than when new
Carplay frequently disconnects
Trunk sometimes didn't open all the way
Acceleration started to feel less explosive
Seats are pretty uncomfortable because the side bolsters dig into the thighs
Little noises when going over rough roads, really annoying
Of course it's all fixable under warranty which is up to 40k miles/4 years, but I recently drove a Lexus and was reminded of how much simpler the drive is.. quiet exhaust, isolated from the road, don't have to turn functions off before each drive. Could get a solid Lexus sedan for probably $20-25k.
Granted the car was incredibly fun to drive, and looked truly unique on the road. Beautiful piece of engineering. I feel bad when thinking about selling it.
Only other car that interested me was a BMW 6 series.. I like those sleek looking cars
I never even look at it anymore, just the speed if needed. It's one of those things you get used to after a couple hours and it's not a big deal.
Maybe I'm weird but I set the ventilation controls once like 5 years ago and basically never touch them. I just move the temp (which is just one touch) up or down a couple degrees if needed. Not really sure what you'd even need to change in there, it's automatic climate control.
Wipers are on the turn signal stalk or on the steering wheel button if you got the stalk-less version. You press it to activate them and then can select mode with the scroll wheel on the wheel, never taking hands off wheel. I keep my wipers off auto because the auto-wipers are kinda retarded (thanks Elon for not buying the $2 rain sensor every other manufacturer uses) so I trigger that all the time.

I think you mean the defroster, right? When you say demister?
Just FYI you can move those icons to the quick bar and never have to open those menus if you want to.
Not everything is easy in a Tesla and there are some workarounds needed, but most of the problems people bring up are pretty trivial to workaround and they just refuse.
I've driven a car from just about every OEM and have never had the automatic climate control work well enough to set and leave alone. I'll admit I'm a bit picky though.
