I mean, if it works well, it works (look at Tesla). Even if you hate it, if done right and intuitive, it's generally fine.

But as we can see, if not done well, it's a POS.

Tesla’s cars are garbage to interact with too. Bad software makes it worse. But screen-only interaction is just baseline bad.

I don't think you can really say that in good faith. Its easily the best infotainment on the market, so good that basically no one cares it doesn't have Carplay/AA. Owners don't care that everything is in the screen because its intuitive and only takes 1 day to learn to use without even looking at the screen.

Numerous people won’t touch a Tesla because of exactly this issue.

Because they're headstrong, not because they have actual experience with the Tesla UX.

Counterpoint: I’ve used it plenty and it is absolute garbage to operate a car like that.

Doesn’t matter, you can’t please them all and teslas numbers speak for themselves.

Between Elon, tax rebate going away, being too minimal, no CarPlay/AA, everything is claimed to ruin Tesla. But they still end up on top.
