Actually, all I have to do on my Tesla Y is use my thumb to push the right hand knob on the steering wheel and tell the car what I want to do with the climate control (“increase fan speed by 2” or “increase temperature by 3 degrees”). So I don’t have to reach for anything or take my eyes off of the road to adjust the climate control. That’s one advantage of having the “screen-based” controls. I know that the controls are different than the hardware-based ones. I’ve been driving for over 50 years and it only took me a few minutes to understand and work the new controls. Now they seem much easier to use. That said, Teslas may not be ideal as rental vehicles for those folks who don’t own one.
