I don't know who the hell thought that a touch screen only system was reasonable for a motor vehicle, but they can go get fucked.
Elon Musk?
He does appear to be fucking himself. Almost daily now. Lol
Uh oh, looks like you pissed off a single Musk fan boy.
The cost savings is a supply chain wet dream.
It feels like San Francisco's fault. Apple and tesla-esque design language spreading like a plague because it's cheap to manufacture and people think it's trendy.
I bought a 2023 Subaru outback. Great car, only quibbles are the CVT instead of a traditional Auto or manual for longevity reasons, and most of my controls are on a big old touch screen. The issue is that everything is routed through it, and it lagggggggs.
I just rolled over 100k miles last week on my CVT. If CVTs are dying young, it isn't a problem with the CVT, it's a problem with the manufacturer.
My civic has a CVT and for the most part its OK. But sometimes when you're on a highway, and if you have to brake hard.. that lag time on hitting the gas again can sometimes feel like forever. And pretty scary.
