Remove also Internet, Bluetooth, LTE, screens altogether, everything. They are all the devil's inventions. Cars too. Horse carriages were much better, reliable, and safer.

I'll take Audi *real* leather over pleather (aka vegan leather) every time and I don't have to look down at my Q7 physical controls to use them AND a quick glance at the odometer requires ZERO clicks!VW is mediocre. Audi sometimes.
Or you could just check the app?*Theoretically* sure, but I'm still waiting for an odometer on the primary display instead of reaching over to the infotainment screen while driving and clicking 3-4 deep! SMH
That's every Acura. I couldn't find the trunk release on a 2023 and I consider myself somewhat of a technology person.I present to you … buttons:
I had this car - a 2013 MDX (not this exact car, but the same year). The button layout was a t r o c i o u s. I couldn’t find shit, even after 5 years. It was infuriating.
All I’m saying is that buttons CAN be better, but in many cases, it’s just not. And the opposite is true - screens can be awful, but can be designed to be not terrible.
Because taking my hands off the wheel and looking down at my phone is what I want to do instead of just looking at the dash like EVERY OTHER VEHICLE EVER PRODUCED?Or you could just check the app?
I guess I don't care much about vehicle miles very often so I just check app now and then to see if I should think about a tire rotation. And when I near warranty expirations mileage for anything I want to address before expiration. But otherwise I don't really care.Because taking my hands off the wheel and looking down at my phone is what I want to do instead of just looking at the dash like EVERY OTHER VEHICLE EVER PRODUCED?
Personally, I find the entire center section of the primary display a colossal waste of space. I don't need to see an animatedly real time display of traffic around me since I'm already looking at the REAL traffic around me which would require me to take my eyes off to look at the display of it. Makes ZERO sense to me.I guess I don't care much about vehicle miles very often so I just check app now and then to see if I should think about a tire rotation.

But for people who like to monitor it while driving, it would be nice to be able to toggle it on somewhere, but I'd prefer to keep the real estate on the screens for something else.
I much prefer it over the Rivian screen/infotainment/button setup. Ram struck a good balance between having physical buttons for some things and mostly software buttons for the rest.Goggle or Bing “2022 Ram 2500 center screen” and look at the images
12” vertical touch screen with buttons on all 4 sides
I’m puzzled. I must be missing something. Please, what is so important or useful about being able to view the odometer while driving?*Theoretically* sure, but I'm still waiting for an odometer on the primary display instead of reaching over to the infotainment screen while driving and clicking 3-4 deep!

I’m not a fan of manual vents.I know people hate on the vents, but I find it very convenient to be able to turn off the rear or passenger vents by just asking Alexa to tapping a few buttons on the screen. No way to do this in not other cars.
