Yes. And can move the high use buttons to the main screen. Easy peasy.
He owns a Tesla….a couple times over.
You need to have purchased a Tesla in order to get a referral code.

Seriously? I don't even know where to start. You are defending the company that DECLARED BANKRUPTCY a decade ago, was bailed out by the taxpayers, and STILL HAS NOT paid them back.
There's no "cheating" with a referral program. If anything it's MORE HONEST than paying a professional journalist to write blatant lies about your product.
Actually, many cases no? The YouTube crowd, for example, is never sponsored by traditional auto advertising and YouTube acts as the firewall. (The creator has no idea who buys ads, and zero control or influence)... and a lot of them also like (some) buttons.
I also like more buttons than Tesla does: I want physical buttons for
* Defog front windshield
* Headlight control
* Windshield Wiper control
i.e.: things that can require fast activation (tunnels) while in motion. Do I need a physical button for resetting the trip thingy? No... that was a thing you might need prior to GPS-and-Navigation-Everywhere, but not anymore. Heat Seaters can wait for later, no need for dedicated buttons, etc.

TSLA - 12+ startups in 1
Norway has more, often first to get new Chinese ones (but Germany is not too far behind as so many reviewers based there) - UK only has 137 Model/trims available (with another 31 upcoming) EV Database
Eventually these and many more will come to North America and other markets. It's just a matter of time, production, scale, raw materials, refining etc. If the Chevy Blazer can be part of it, that's great, but I'd prefer other options. BTW, shouldn't they avoid fire sounding names? Chevy Cheetah/Cosmic or something

Unless you are on a Plaid S or X, the above all are on buttons or stalks (3 and Y). Exception being the defog.
You guys do know you can move "most used functions" to the bottom of your MCU? So if there is something you use a lot, BAM, it's right there at one click.
No, headlight control is only on the screen... (Unless there are hidden buttons I haven't found.)
That doesn’t change the fact that Tesla is giving free vehicles to people who promoted Tesla.

My lights are always on auto. The stalk I can then control if they are auto-high or not, but they are always on/off via auto.
They had to have purchased a Tesla in the first place. They didn’t get something “free” to start with. Not for a review. Not for the referral.

The KEY DIFFERENCE - those people DISCLOSE that they get stuff for free. They are not penalized if they say something bad about the product (being on referral was NOT conditioned upon good reviews).
Traditional media - they KNOW if they write something negative about an advertiser, they will lose their advertising money.
One is ALL ABOVE TABLE, the other is 100% behind closed doors. *cough* Edmunds, Car and Driver, etc. *cough*
See the difference?
Also you KEEP comparing something that was closed 3 years ago, when Tesla was 1/10th the current size, to what is going on NOW and has been for decades for traditional auto.

Plenty of his videos doesn’t disclose that he’s getting free Tesla Roadsters
I’ll give you that. Over 3 years ago. But again, they needed to buy one FIRST!
Are they giving out prizes for new referrals as of 3 years ago? No? So….
I've read a lot here about comparisons.
The Blazer, Mach-E, ID.4 and all the other EVs with base prices under $50k are not competitors with the Model Y.
If you can afford a Model Y LR or MYP, you're not in the market for a Blazer 1LT or 2LT. They would be direct competitors if Tesla still sold the Y SR RWD for what they sold it for when they had it last year.
I have the Y SR because it was CAD$56k. It was at my stretch ceiling and if I hadn't been able to grab one I'd probably still have my Leaf as a daily driver. If I did have a new vehicle it would probably be the ID.4 ($50k - $5k rebate) because it's the only one with similar towing capacity.
Now a YLR is similar to a Lucid Air Dream Edition. Nice car, but out of my price range so it's not happening. If I needed another car I'd be shopping in the 1LT, 2LT price range of which there are now many options from many different manufacturers.
For comparisons sake, the Y SR was single motor, just under 400km range, max charging rate 176kW (very briefly). That's not far off from the Blazer EV's specs either.
