The model s has terrible phone docks. Don't get me started on cupholders, I'll bet people have drink mishaps all the time that affect driving.

I'm actually kind of serious about this - keeping people's stuff secure and organized is important in a moving car.

I'm surprised the touchscreen controls and retiring of stalks aren't coming under more safetly scrutiny.

With the new cars without a PRND stalk, how can you quickly reverse the car if you nose out too far and someone is coming from the side? will the car reverse or go forward into danger?



What Tesla touchscreen controls are crucial for driving? FWIW climate is quick little swipe, arguably easier than turning dial.


lol, I just mentioned direction of travel? defrost?

"a quick little swipe" seems like you're trying to minimize something that is actually dangerous. Controls like that should be in one location for muscle memory, stateless and able to be invoked without looking at them.
