I disagree. Model 3 has soft touch everywhere. Freaking bmw 3 series has plastic on most frequently touched bits.

Since you are in europe you have no idea how good fsd is.

BMW actually has a reasonable control surface though, not a grand user interface experiment by some crack heads.

As I'm in Europe I just get trains.

    The bmw interface is the actual fucking joke. Everything you need on Teslas is accessible from the steering wheel in addition to the touchscreen.

      Apart from the speedometer which is outside your safe FOV in the Tesla.

      And everything in the BMW you should be dealing with when driving is on or around the steering wheel.

    Really? It's one thing to hate Elon Musk, but you're talking about a lot of brilliant engineers who worked on these cars, everything from the components to the software. It's uneeded low blow just because you don't like Elon Musk.

      The UX is a mess. Why does the car always label the trunk as open rather than have a button that I press to open it?

      Why does cruise control sometimes change to the speed limit and sometimes not?

      Why does auto lane change sometimes need me to start the manoeuvre and sometimes not? If I guess wrong and start the lane change myself, all autopilot just disengages suddenly.

      I have to proove that I'm holding the wheel by wiggling it from time to time, but if I accidentally wiggle too hard it disengages. Why not have a sensor or use the cameras to detect if I'm holding the wheel?

      My son didn't shut the back door properly. I started driving and the car started binging. It didn't tell me why it was binging until I put it in park and looked at the pretty 3d representation of the car, then noticed that the door was open.

      Maybe if I drove more regularly I would get used to all this stuff. The car was borrowed and I gave it back.
