That's the funniest thing I've heard today
I think the latest models also have the gear selector (or whatever they're called for automatics / EVs) on the touch screen, so you need to swipe up to put it into drive.
So... the entire car is bricked if that screen malfunctions and the car is not usable by those with poor motor skills in their right hand?
Eh, many automatics nowadays just have electrical switches to change between p, n, d and so on, if those break it's the same... Normally a switch would be more reliable still than a screen, but this is Tesla we're talking about...
