The telematics on EV VWs was designed by someone who lost a bet.

Main reason I canceled my ID4 reservation

Thank god. End this shitty touchscreen fad. I have problems reading things too close, so the buttons/knobs in my 10+ year old car are a lifesaver.

I'd rather have a "non-touch" screen with buttons in a car. Just to show info. And be it right in front of me.

Wait, they care about what we want? That doesn't sound right.

[–] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

VW really actually does care a lot. It's just early market data on EVs (because Tesla cheaped out) pointed to people liking the screens. Now that ordinary people are going EV there is a lot more feedback available on this being a bad idea.

*because they sell really bad, even in germany

Infiniti not updating their interior since 2014 is starting to feel like a good thing as other brands abandon buttons.

Nice to know VW is returning to sanity

there should never be a fucking touch screen menu in a car for any reason
