    So, you’re saying that a touchscreen where you have actively look at because you don’t have any haptic feedback is saver on the roads?

      If you can achieve the same thing with one single tap instead of going through what the OP has to, then yes.

      And depending on how many buttons there are, chances are you have to look at the buttons too.

        Many buttons just perform a toggle function that could easily be solved with a setting on the screen. Removes a lot of clutter and distraction. Less buttons leave more room for buttons that might be useful to have as a physical button.

        Are you guys playing the pain while driving? The only but I actually used is the hazard light button. The rest are all around the steering wheel.

            Nah, heating, air conditioning, seat venting. I use all of that. But most of the time not. It I like having buttons. I mean, it’s easier if I have to switch menus all the time. You and me both know that touchscreen only is stupid. It sounds nice on paper but then you need to turn on your windshield wipers and chaos unfolds. You love Tesler and that’s okay but boy… why the fuck are we arguing about this. It’s not like we gonna change each other’s opinions and buying a new car. You like touchscreens and I like buttons. Let’s agree on that.

              Most VW cars have plenty of buttons and levers on the steering wheel. It’s really not that bad. Except for the fuckup with the touch/swipe buttons on the steering wheel in some cars, lol. I personally like a good mixture of well placed and functional buttons and a touchscreen. The former for primary and secondary features that are frequently used while driving, and the latter for scrolling through settings/playlists and navigation.

              What is Tesler? Well whatever it is, at least your insinuation is rather off, why would I have a Hyundai now 🙄

      I can give many examples about the stupidity of physical buttons in the Hyundai but limit myself to one example the ‘auto hold’ button… each time when I start the car I need to press it because a toggle on the display ‘default on/off’ doesn’t give me the haptic feedback. That I almost hit someone because the car starts to ‘crawl’ at high speed is of less importance. This is just one of the 70+ buttons in a Hyundai Tucson. Because there are so many I need to take my eyes off the road to verify that I press the correct one.

        Hm, never had that problem with the Kona. When I start the car it’s automatically active until I hit the gas pedal and in any other case, recuperation is your friend. Recuperation to max and you don’t even have to break anymore.

          Never had the problem in a Tesla as well. Once when I first used it I did the settings and all the years after it behaved the way I set it up. Not one physical buttons needed. I guess for some people the number of buttons in a car gives the a feel of importance. 🤷🏼
