    I know this is more about switching from ICE to electric, but this is kinda hilarious

    Feedback about the company’s new capacitive multifunction steering wheel was so overwhelmingly negative that last year, Schaffer promised to ditch the design. Meanwhile, much of the range—both electric and gas-powered—is saddled with temperature and volume controls that are touch-sensitive but not backlit, making them all but impossible to use at night.

      It’s not that they didn’t know it wasn’t very good. But it was a money saver, and they thought people would accept it because “modern”.

      Both of those things have been acknowledged and will be changed. Cars have very long design cycles, though.

      The ID.7 has the new sliders as does the facelift of the ID.4.

      Yes, there’s other problems, but this one is already on the way out.
