I feel like I'm the only one here who is driving a car and not a spaceship. What's there to interact with while you're driving? Key multimedia buttons are already on the wheel.
Temperature control or defrost
In my Subaru, hvac is three large distinctive knobs I can use without looking. In my Tesla, it’s more automatic so I need to change it less, but it’s all in touch screen menus
I have a 2024 Subaru and the A/C contols are on the screen now as well. The temp control and defrost are still buttons though, so while I would prefer physical buttons, the current setup is manageable and I’ve gotten used to it. I just make sure to set everything before driving, then use the physical temp controls to adjust when needed.
TBH my old Subaru's auto climate control is so good I never change it from auto 20.5°C.
I actually want to use the auto so I can just set and forget. The problem is, at least for my 2024 model, it turns on the foot vents as well. I wish you could set it to auto but only using the face vents.
