@olivvybee quite frankly that giant touch screen would be a nogo for me after that 30m test drive with a sales person. which is why now I see my old'ish V60 as the last car I bought. (until they start manufacturing cars with physical buttons again at least.)
@gergolippai@olivvybee Giant touchscreens are not a problem if the UX is designed well. It was horrific to read how many of the basic things you have to do by digging 2-3 levels deep in the menu. The problem here is bad UX design by Volvo.
I know it’s the devil’s car, but Teslas are a lot better in this sense. Most of the things mentioned in this article can be done either from the steering wheel, or they are constantly on the touchscreen and you can control them instantly.
@gergolippai@olivvybee On the other hand, there are modern use cases that are a LOT better on a giant touch screen. Like browsing and starting a Podcast episode, with large “album” art and very easy to read titles, large touch points that are easy to hit.
Good luck doing that with a small screen and physical buttons :D
@Gerego@olivvybee ...none of which you should be looking away to a touchscreen for while driving. so sure, make the whole center console a big screen (amoled please, not the crappy everyone uses today)... but lock it when the car is in motion or smth. fwiw, I pulled my hair out when I tried to do basic things when I drove a Tesla. isn't that the car that has windscreen wipers as a touch switch? I mean come on.
@gergolippai@olivvybee No, in Tesla you can control the wipers from the stalks, or steering wheel buttons on newer models, and adjust the speed with the scroll wheel buttons.
@Gerego@gergolippai Meanwhile in every other car you just move the stalk up or down (without even having to look), as has been standard for longer than I’ve been driving cars
The replies to a post complaining about “teslafication” is probably not the place to try and advocate for tesla
