HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 versus TESLA MODEL 3 | Wheels Australia
- Thread starter Maximillan

My guess is that the OP has auto high beams enabled. I find that - as well as making high beams unavailable at all below (I think) 30km/h - on occasions when travelling above that minimum speed there is significant lag between hitting the stalk forward for high beam and the high beam actually activating.
I think auto high beam was set to enabled a few firmware releases ago and I *think* some cars (non radar ones maybe) need it to be set to auto high beam for Autosteer to be available. I have auto high beam turned off on my car, however, because I can’t put up with the lag in the high beams turning on when set to auto AND it doesn’t (currently at least) stop me from using Autosteer by letting me be in control of the high/low beam in the old-school manner

Yes, under Controls > Lights. Or just leave the lights on low beam and select high beam when you want it.
I did that accidentally once in Summer Hill (inner Sydney suburb) not long after getting the car. I only realised I had done it when I got the flash from oncoming traffic. I saw the blue high-beam icon on the console and realised I had accidentally bumped the stalk to turn it on.
I have auto high beam turned off.
Ah... thank you. I was sure I had turned it off before but high beam was working weirdly so I assumed that was just the way it works.

I hear you, but most Telsa fans just can't admit that some physical controls ARE better. The only reason I see it being a thing is to reduce production costs. The whole "but you can change things in software" is a complete cop out because physical inputs are all just digital inputs to the body computer now anyway. I also hate "talking" to my car.
I have said it before that a simple row of physical buttons below the screen with a turn knob at each end would fix 90% of peoples complaints. You could actually choose to assign a function to each button and knob. The currently assigned function to each button and knob would be displayed on the touch screen. I'd bring back a regular mirror control. Steering wheel adjustment doesn't worry me too much, but its still nice to adjust its they way its done in a regular car. Rear heated seat control missing is also an amazing oversight. Wipers drive me mad also. Door handles are annoying, 0.2% range benefit, i'll give it up. Being near your car with your phone/fob apparently means you want it unlocked, odd.
Still nothing better out there in the EV world however.
Its interesting that all other ‘coming soon’ ev’s do retain some seperate controls, and there is definately a common theme of retaining a trackball to control the screen rather than reach two arm lengths.
Trackball? Sounds like the near unusable wheel control in my last Audi. "Typing" in addresses to the nav was like punching out letters on an old Dymo labeller, and then you have all those blank buttons that change their function depending on what it says on the little tiny screen 2 feet away. Just looking at it was a danger.
No, give me a touch screen any time. Model 3's interior is well nigh perfect for me. I do like having a dash right behind the wheel on my S, but a few days (actually about 10 minutes!) driving a loaner Model 3 convinced me it was not at all necessary.

As much as I like Lexus I won't ever own another one with that scratch pad interface. I bought the car knowing the issue thinking that I could get used to it, but even with Apply Carplay it was far too distracting to the point where I'd consider it dangerous.
Touch screen with a UI designed specifically for a driver is far better.

Trackballs, knobs, levers, buttons etc are so last century! (Pull the switch, Igor!) All input is error!

This guy deserves an award. Worked out how to integrate the Model 3 steering wheel and stalks into the Model S Plaid. Just brilliant.

As with a lot of these things, most of the criticism comes from those who haven't tried it. Bit like the central screen for the 3 when it came out.
I expect most of those who dropped USD 100k on a car (and knowing they were getting a
I’ve seen videos of people doing 90°+ turns with the
The central screen in the 3 is very different. It is used very occasionally while driving, whereas the steering wheel is used every moment while driving.
Actually I’ve watched a number of video’s of people criticing it whilst trying it, mostly whilst trying to park, do u turns, or any action that requires full lock steering input. Seems comments are positive when driving in a straight line though. Unlikely anyone in Australia has tried one unless they had a permit to depart our prison island so risky buying an S, but I can’t see what problem it tries to solve?
