Having had a Model 3 for eight months now, the interface is something you learn to live with rather than ever feeling totally confident with.

The buttons etc are designed for a car that can run the wipers etc flawlessly itself but the tech isn’t there yet.

I read somewhere that the Model 3 was intended to be fully autonomous, which was why the interface and look of the car is as spartan as it is. When the autonomous tech ended up not being there (no surprise), Tesla kept the look of the car as if the car were meant to drive itself.

This is probably why CarPlay and Android Auto still aren’t integrated, among other reasons.
