Can't we issue voice commands for things like a/c, cruise control, radio to pop up on the display? Those are likely the only things I will be adjusting while the car is in motion. Even for the a/c, I may not have to play with it because I don't think an electrical a/c system will take off 15-20% of the driving range must like it does on fuel economy for less powerful ICE vehicles. Don't the S come with stalks on the steering column for wiper, cruise control, lighting, etc.?
A friend demonstrated the display on his S but I didn't ask about voice control.

I don't care much about the interior differences with the 3 being so bare but could come experts chime in as to how the MB, Audi and BMW could prove to be more unreliable? That is, does any MB, Audi or BMW fanatic here know what some frequent complains about these cars, specifically mechanical or electrical issues, are?
I'm a more pragmatic car buyer and only choose to go with EV because it will cost so much less to travel and drive a little faster on the freeway (in terms of electricity cost) but I would still want a reliable enough EV. There really aren't many choices even for 2018 especially with AWD so M3 may be in the cards for me.
Tesla isn't the most reliable car being built but we do know reliability is not a strong foundation for the German cars since the Berlin wall collapsed and some are plagued with electric gremlins.
