Tesla, for all the flack it gets for removing buttons, "almost" has enough buttons.

It's fine to bury options / settings that you don't touch often, or ever, under a menu.

When driving, the steering wheel controls to change the audio / autopilot speed are "good enough."

What's missing?

I should be able to adjust the wiper speed with a dial on the stalk. (The automatic wipers are lousy, and if there was a dial on the stalk, I really wouldn't care.)

I should be able to adjust the heated seat with a dial, and maybe adjust the climate control temperature with a dial.

That's it. Just a few more buttons.



You can adjust the wiper speed with the left wheel after tapping the wiper button.


I hate that, because often when I go to adjust the volume it changes the wiper speed.

Buttons shouldn't have context when you aren't looking at them.
