I may be too forward looking even for Tesla, but a car I used to own had rain sensor wipers that had variable sensitivity, which could be fine-tuned as and when needed by a switch on these “stalk-like” extrusions conveniently connected to the steering wheel. Similarly, if I wanted to indicate which direction I wanted to turn in, I had a similarly convenient rocker stalk to do this, rather than press the awkward buttons in the steering wheel, which never seemed to be to hand. The “wheel” was just that, as it is a perfect example of form and function. Similarly, my old car used ultrasonic sensors to make up for the inherent limitations of trying to visually judge small distances.
Are they complete idiots, or are we idiots for even considering buying a car that makes driving less convenient?
