Fair enough, but that's like the people who said, iPhone isn't for everyone because it doesn't have physical keyboard.
True but the iPhone isn’t for everyone. Some like Android and others like older style phones and flip phones.

I agree, although it was pretty short, but he didn't seem prejudiced an that's why I made my remark. If it had been a typical let's-bash-Tesla-review, we'd not be showing or discussing it here. We'd simply smiled and walked away.
He was actually quite vocal in general about having to look away from the road constantly due to everything being on the screen (such as speedo), and that some things that you should be able to do easily while driving you can't do safely (i.e. adjust steering wheel, mirrors, etc.).That Edmunds video review was pretty good too and he also complained about
- AP and wiper controls in the screen
- more noise and vibration on rough roads
Other than that he liked everything about the M3 so much he is going to keep the 2nd reservation and get one for himself.
Eh.... I've had cars that take as much if not more effort/attention to adjust the steering/mirrors as the 3 appears to require. Granted, there are cars that make it easier, but it's one of those things that IMO should be done when stopped.He was actually quite vocal in general about having to look away from the road constantly due to everything being on the screen (such as speedo), and that some things that you should be able to do easily while driving you can't do safely (i.e. adjust steering wheel, mirrors, etc.).
The functions that you use frequently while driving :
- AP Controls to enable/disable
- AP controls to increase/decrease speed (stupid, dumb, idiotic idea to put it in the screen)
- Volume controls
- Temp controls
- Radio controls
- Air/fan controls
- Wiper controls (another stupid idea to put that in the screen, even with auto-wipers)
All other functions are one time or infrequent events: mirror adjustment, etc..

AP speed control changes via the screen have been dealt with in another post. It should be easy to change the control by using the buttons at the steering wheel to control the speed and following distance. It's an easy way to improve safety through software changes.AP speed control change becomes less important over time as AP improves.
Also, if you have auto wipers, why is it critical to be able to change the wipers?
With automatic climate control, I almost never find the need to change the temperature were fan speed.
There, I fixed that for you.The functions that I use frequently while driving :

I shouldn't look at the speedo while driving? No wonder they placed it where they did .You should do that BEFORE driving, not while driving.
he meant adjusting mirrors and steering wheel....I shouldn't look at the speedo while driving? No wonder they placed it where they did .
I know, that's what the emoticon was for.he meant adjusting mirrors and steering wheel....
You know... in Driver's Ed. they tell you to do that before starting the car...Seriously, it's pretty common to fine tune seating and subsequently mirror repositioning while driving.
Thanks for posting.
After a browser refresh this morning, at least they retracted the claim the Model 3 had a HUD, but they still say the body is steel and not aluminum.
