I'm very glad, the lack of buttons are a safety hazard... Looking at these stupid TESLA cars especially... You can't even adjust the AC without messing with the touchscreen, which means your eyes are not on the road...

Still not going to own a car, but at least it will be slightly safer by bringing back physical buttons, so hurray for small victories.

I might be the one of the weirdos that want buttons back on phones as well lol. πŸ’€ I loved keyboards.

Keyboards were so nice when you wanted to accurately input characters without putting your faith in auto-correct. God help you if you need to input something not in its dictionary like someone's name.

Tom Paris was right.

A great reminder that your voice does matter. Apply it other things as well, and things can actually improve...

Judging from reviews, people are avoiding VW now because of really shitty infotainment systems...

A big part of why I chose my Mazda is so I didn't have touchscreen everything.

[–] GutsBerserk@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I wonder if people who took the decision to put the touchscreens even drive.

And I'll continue complaining about stuff, nothing will stop me, not even getting what I want!

Reason why I love my Subaru is that it still has buttons for almost everything, yet still has Android Auto.

and to add insult to injury, I couldn't turn the heater on countless times because the climate portion of the OS was unresponsive. Other times, it would simply say that the function couldn't be performed at the time. Why? No idea.

This is the main problem, not something about the UI being wonky. That my AC can freeze not because of the radiator but because of a shitty UI system? That's insane.

Main reason I canceled my ID4 reservation

The telematics on EV VWs was designed by someone who lost a bet.
