    The 14.6-inch vertical touchscreen Ugh, can we go back to buttons and standard sized head units already? Add another smaller display for EV status or whatever… anything but a massive touchscreen.

      I really want a hybrid system of physical and touch controls. There are a few car companies that do this, but it’s not the norm. I used to have an Audi that was physical buttons and a scroll wheel for CarPlay / Android Auto. It was nice, but there were some times when I just want to tap the screen.

        Touch screen keyboard would be useful for entering a GPS destination or initial radio programming, but I shouldn’t have look at a screen to change the climate controls or pause music.

          Yeah, the Audi solution was pretty nice, climate, media, etc all had OG physical buttons. Although the car I had at the time did not have touch screens CarPlay / Android auto. It was all click wheel. I would’ve preferred both input methods.

        The bmw solution is pretty good, at least relatively recently it was a touch screen, but also navigable by knob for all the screen features including Android auto, and hard buttons for most everything I want to actually do.
