For REAL, the idea of all these new cars using fucking touch screens is insane to me. Tactile buttons are sooo much safer, I don't use my AUX port in my car and use a blutooth radio tuner for my music because it has tactile buttons for skipping songs and it feels better to be able to do it without looking rather than using my phone directly and having to guess at it.

I'm confused at the level of control these comments think an automatic (that technically only has 1 gear) needs. Are you guys shifting to neutral while weaving between cars?

Why? It’s an automatic, so you’re not going to be shifting gears in the middle of driving, and I guarantee you it won’t let you shift gears while moving.

Well you can use the screen or the button obviously but one thing that people need to realize is that there is no gears there is no transmission this is all motor controller software controlled drivetrain, basically there is no drivetrain it's just a wheel hooked up to a motor

See, it’s funny because you don’t change gears. You change the direction the motor spins electronically. So a physical gear shifter would be putting a limit switch on a stick, at which point just use a fkn screen anyway.

@@Quinho1525A Legitimately that just helps my point.

It’s a simple thing that has legitimate consequences and causes for concern; just like climate control, I shouldn’t have to press a screen and look away from the road to change the direction of airflow and or change the temperature of my car. Yet automotive companies are pushing for it such as Tesla, because they don’t care about your safety (just as Tesla is actively not allowing the public to view cybertruck safety tests) they just care about making something look unique to cater to people such as the first commenter on this post, when it poses an actual risk to peoples lives.

But INNOVATION

You can shift gears multiple ways, not just with the screen. While i acknowledge that current EVs lack the infrastructure and tech to really be worth it, to discourage the idea is misguided. Imagine if people gave up on the idea of cars after the first few models. They were terrible compared to horses. A lot of stuff you use today came from somebody taking an idea and making it better. Just because something isn't good now doesn't mean it can't be good. Not saying you have to like it, but just keep an open mind.

​@Horible4 I agree that if it wasn't for the people of the past and their inventions, we wouldn't have the things we have today. But sometimes technology has no business making things worse for people. I wouldn't trust a car to drive itself, and I don't like the touchscreen tech. I mean, the amount of times we tap the wrong buttons on our phones, even if we touched the button we wanted. Technology has always been defective in some way. I wouldn't trust my life in a car like that for that reason.

@@Dondizle self-driving technology is a lot further along than you think. People make the videos of the bugs with the system but for the most part you don't see the system doing anything egregious like swerving into oncoming traffic. You can say you wouldn't trust it all you want but the reality is computers can plot and process way faster than you could ever hope to, and can see crashes coming before they happen and course corrects your vehicle to avoid collisions. The amount of human error it takes out of the equation makes sense when you consider how many aggressive drivers there are. Suddenly the one or two faults you see on the road with these vehicles is less of a concern when you consider humans are 20x more likely to make a mistake than a self driving car. When you see it in action, it's impressive and feats of engineering. There are downsides to it, obviously and there should be laws regulating how it's used but to say it's worse for people and has no business being in cars is questionable at best. There's issues with efficiency sure but self-driving is hardly a flaw and will always be more precise and careful than you will.

​@Horible4 Personally, I'm all for evs. I commute by cycling myself so I'm all for sustainable forms of transport. My issue is, you already had things going in the right direction with the old prius. Environmentally friendly and reliable. This truck has a touch sensitive "gear selecter" in the most awkward place as a back up for a screen "gear selecter".

@@Lakita2880 less moving parts = less failure points. I drive a Tesla model 3 and while sometimes it may have bugs (which don't get me wrong is an issue) I have never been in a situation where it wouldn't let me drive properly. My convertible car however gives me all kinds of issues because it has so many moving parts. I've had to replace the alternator, fix a misfire, and replace a fuel line. My dad's Tesla has required no maintenance whatsoever. In fact the only parts I have known to fail on a Tesla are the motorized door handles of the model s and the power doors of the model X. I have never ever heard of a Tesla that wouldn't drive as long as it has power. And just because my experience has been perfect doesn't mean everyones is, same with your car which has never died on you. I've had a ford escape that needed a transmission replaced. I had a Nissan Murano that needed a drive shaft replaced. I had a f150 that needed a new piston ring. I have a mustang right now that probably needs an entire rebuild. Moving parts introduce so many weak points that are prone to failure. An EV has a motor that is connected directly to the wheels meaning the thing that fails is the motor. Mechanical parts are built to last but that doesn't mean they're invincible and if you're claiming they are than you're obviously just turning a blind eye to the facts.

@@GOREilla. elaborate

@OneHellOfASandwich nah. calling this kind of shifter a gimmick on an EV implies that it's not the most practical or reliable way to shift it, when in fact it is. The reason electronic shifters (dials, buttons) were considered a gimmick on gas vehicles is because it adds moving and electronic parts. Instead of the shifter having a direct, mechanical connection to the transmission, they changed gears electronically, which means more moving parts. But whether you know it or not, most shift knobs work this way. There's no actual connection, just microswitches. The reason buttons and screens like this makes the most sense on an EV is because they don't even have transmissions to begin with. You are changing the direction of the motor. Why add moving parts? Why even have mechanical buttons when you can use capacitive buttons that have zero chance of wearing out or getting gunked up and stuck?
