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.

The biggest reason I didn't go with the Tesla when I bought an EV, aside from the price premium, was a lack of a speedometer behind the steering wheeland turn signal and windshield wiper stalk controls.

I just can't get over that. I really want a car with a heads up display, not having to peer over and read teeny tiny font size to see what the car is doing. I still find it unsafe.

When I sat the first time in a Tesla I was astonished why there’s such a buzz around it. Hiding every single function behind submenus several levels deep was a thing of early 2000 feature phones, this is not acceptable for a car.
