I totally get the benefits of tactile controls but 90% of the functions I never use when driving and everything else I can control with voice command or the steering mounted scroll wheels (they just added new functions from opening the glove box to scrolling the temperature to changing the speed of the vehicle).
I will say one annoying thing about Tesla, having only one service center, if you are unable to take mobile service at your home for any reason, they don't have any rentals for you. They just give you Uber vouchers and you still need to pay the tip out of your own pocket. I just took one this morning and I immediately noticed how busy and cluttered the instruments were for the Highlander that was my uber. I think I can't go back. It's kind of like how I just converted to a M1 Macbook from a behemoth and cluttered build custom gaming PC. It's just clean and simple despite me never imagining that was my actual preference for many years.
Having the monolithic single screen interface reminds me of Steve Job's presentation of the original iPhone when he showed it's competitors like the Blackberries of the day with tons of buttons all over the face of the phone versus a single clean surface that can display anything you want.

Just curious, what did you need service for?
