I’ve now seen a few in person. I’m neither repulsed or attracted. Just meh. There is something refreshingly zen and minimalist about the interior but I’d likely get irritated with having to do everything on the touch screen.
Maybe, on touch screen. I do think they could have added a button for the glove compartment.

But really I've gotten used to the touch screen on the Model S, and it's fine. The combination of the touch screen and steering wheel scroll wheels is at least as intuitive as the many-button + touch screen approach that my VW uses.

Right but your S still has a dedicated stalk for cruise control, and a cluster. Think they went a bit overboard by just having 2 steering wheel scroll wheels.

Yeah, it sounds like the autopilot controls are less useful. I don't have AP in mine or ever use cruise control, so for me it's a non-issue.
