Meh...It's too small of a sample and far too early to say whether "The Market" has decided. The good news is EV's in general are doing prettywell and obviously we have a pretty diverse range of strong opinions on user interfaces. I think it's perfectly fair to disagree on what is obviously personal preference.

Otherwise, tough. Again, I can not see any reasoning on your part. The market is clearly deciding whether cost effective and minimalist controls will prevail. Or not. Someone can remind me what fraction of the market Tesla commands. There are plenty of inferior EVs out there that are offering all the buttons, stalks, switches, etc that mimic obsolete cars and satisfies those with such fetishes. > > That's been working surprisingly well for him, but that was before the > unfolding "Cybertruck" disaster.

I see John did a fine job of refuting the above. _______________________________________________ Address messages to ev@lists.evdl.org No other addresses in TO and CC fields HELP: http://www.evdl.org/help/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
