to, for example, having to change the autopilot cruise control follow distance apparently you have to

   - find and tap "vehicle settings"
   - find the "autopilot" text label and tap it
   - now find the "+" and "-" buttons and tap them to adjust

how many seconds are your eyes going to be away from the road while you do this? And if the sun is in the right place to make it hard to see, for how much longer will you be distracted while you do this?

When it's raining I usually adjust the speed of the windshield wipers very often depending on precipitation level and spray of the car in front of me, the last thing I want to do in a reduced visibility situation is to have to futz around with a touch tablet to do so: I want a rotating dial on the stalk so I can change things without having to look anywhere else. Apparently on the model-3 this setting is also part of the tablet interface.

I cannot believe that when you have tons of "distracted driving" laws to prevent people from texting while driving, manufacturers are allowed to produce cars where you more or less need to text to actually control the car.

I am all for technological advancement, but having a tablet-driven car makes as much sense as having a tablet as your desktop keyboard where you'd have to look down all the time to figure out where the keys are.
