The S3XY buttons look interesting.

I had no problem adjusting to the old Model S. I thought the largely touch based controls on the screen worked well. But they still kept some physical buttons for certain things. The new car seems to take it a step too far. Just my opinion of course and not everyone agrees.
I thought about a second order a week ago when it still said Dec delivery. But would have lost the $250 deposit and the $500 discount they had at the time. And no assurance the front bumper camera would come anyway in the next 4 weeks.
But all in all, this will be a big upgrade for me. I've seen everyone talking about Sentry and Autopilot/FSD for years and never got to see any of it on my car of course. But didn't really mind. Love the Signature Model S. And if I can keep this new car going for 9 years, that's 20 years of free long distance travel in a car. Not a bad deal.

I think the S3XY buttons product is cool. I think someone mentioned (I don't know really) you can even use them to implement the horn. There is also a S3XY knob.The S3XY buttons look interesting.
It looks like they are developing turn signal stalk too. This is all money Tesla could recapture through retrofits at service center too. Sell something a lot of people don't like and then charge them to fix it.S3XY Buttons by Enhance | Buy Tesla Buttons | Tesla Accessories

Horn is listed on their page. I think 3 versions (very short, short, long). Along with turn signals.
Just wait until Tesla puts kibosh on that with one of the upcoming software upgrades.
The annoying thing I think is every time it goes in for service, you'll have to unhook the module that allows it to talk to the car.
Tesla could have simply not taken away basic functions from their prior cars.
I just wanted to share my delivery experience from yesterday, which was nothing short of amazing. I picked up my Model S at Tesla in Colma, and I am blown away by this car.
The delivery process was smooth. Jayson, the Tesla rep, left me alone as I spent about 1.5 hours looking over the car. I used the Tesla Delivery Day Checklist by Mike Seuss, which proved to be incredibly helpful.
I'm incredibly happy with the build quality. The only minor issue was some tar on the rear, but they promptly cleaned it up. Also, the rear fold-down center console was a bit sticky initially, but it's working great now. I took my time driving around the lot for a final check, and everything else was perfect.
My partner and I absolutely loved the Tesla Caraoke feature. She had a blast singing on the way to dinner last night.
As an added bonus, I retained my free Full Self-Driving (FSD) for three months, thanks to a referral credit. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any cash bonuses, but that’s okay.
Why aren't more people buying this car? Apart from the price, it is an insanely good EV.

My Model S Plaid with 21s had just about 300 miles of real world range. But, that was a bit of a stretch.
I don't think you'll need the buttons. After two years with it, I didn't really miss the turn stalks. Gear shift lever, maybe. The direction guessing software was pretty good, so I didn't often need to touch the screen. But, when you do and you get it wrong, it can be dangerous. You think you are in drive when you are actually in reverse, etc. That happened to me about once a month.
I didn't miss the horn. Everything else on the yoke / wheel was mostly reasonable.

I just asked our SA and it was changed with a confirmation email within 15 mins
Today we took delivery of our MS LR (Ultra red / cream / wheel). The payment system was acting wonky, so we had to get a cashier's check and come back. Other than that, everything was tip-top. Panels well-aligned, paint in very nice shape (but a bit difficult to really check -- it was drizzling rain), electronics working fine. No surprise bumper camera or interior lighting, but wow -- what an upgrade from our 2015. Here they are side-by-side:
