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.
What’s the quibble with CVT? From what I’ve heard they last forever
