![]() ![]() “But the coup de grace was administered by Tesla.”Įlon Musk. “I’d say that the initial wound was cast by BMW,” Sam said. I knew they would all be like that eventually. The Mercedes EQS’ optional dashboard is basically just one huge screen. Hell, even that little iDrive controller knob is going away soon. The 2023 BMW X1 got rid of a ton of buttons too, making you use the screen if you need to cool off a bit. That new Chevy Colorado makes you go through a screen menu to turn on the headlights. Used to be, this was what you got on the futuristic electric vehicles, like this Polestar. I saw it get worse and worse the longer I spent in this business. I knew this had been happening for years, the death of buttons in cars. I found none, only a big touchscreen with menus to fish through instead. I reached for the familiar touch of hard plastic switches to crank the heater and warm my seats. The streets of New York City are never kind to anyone, especially not in February. I was soaked through like a stray dog tossed into a frozen pond and every bit as mad the parking ticket shoved under the wiper blade didn’t do much to assuage my mood. The rain came down relentlessly as I piled into the Polestar 2. ![]()
