For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

I absolutely refuse to buy a car where the only thing in the dash is a single big touchscreen. This is a really cheap and lazy way to design a car. It's not fancy or futuristic. It's turning an engineering problem into a cheap software problem.

If electric vehicles 10 years from now don't re-engineer buttons, dials and knobs into their cars I am just going to walk 30 miles every day.

I don't even want my entertainment that way. At least let me control the volume via a physical button.

Personally I don't want the screen at all.

I like the screen for the GPS and nothing else.

Great as a huge reverse camera too. That's super handy
