A number of posts have complained about AP or FSDb giving them nudges (or worse) when their eyes are on the screen. Within the few seconds we are allowed to be looking at the screen before having to apply torque to the wheel, not all of us can read the tiny text and navigate our way through the ever-changing menus and features in order to find defrost settings, turn on our lights instead of relying on no tail-lights in mist, or trying to shut off the wipers on a sunny day. Buttons would help with all of that.
And turning off access to the browser and other non-essential 'options' like fart while the car is in motion wouldn't be a bad idea either. Improving the audio entertainment in order to make it more consistent between apps. Sometimes you can jump to the next track using the scroll wheel, sometimes that just jumps ahead 30 seconds. Sometimes you can go back to a previous song, sometimes you can't.
For me, I miss the blue nudge screen when in AP because my hands are on the wheel (and 2 hands = no torque) and my eyes are looking at the road ahead not the screen. It is only if there's an audible warning (apparently no longer in the latest version?) or if I happen to see the blue as scanning from left mirror, centre mirror, right mirror, that I catch the warning.
I hate my tesla and the major reason is its reliance on the screen and layers of menus for driving functions, all made worse by the choice of fonts and the ever changing UI. I'm old fashioned and feel that staring at a screen all the time to drive a car, using its depiction of what it sees as 'gospel' is wrong and I should be looking out the windshield to use my faster (despite my age) brain to process all potential issues that need monitoring.
This quote from the article sums up my reason for hating my tesla:
