Good! Fuck those screens!

I want to have the fucking windshield spray on my fucking steering wheel again! Why the hell did anyone think putting these things behind 20 menus is a good idea?!?

windshield spray

Wait, did that disappear? Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop, the last few cars I had still had it

A car i drove at work had the fucking windshield spray in a sub menu yes. Idk what car it was, my company sold it after a month because we all agreed that its a safety hazard. I know it was a EV however. Maybe a Tesla or something like that.

Tesla you just push a button on the stick like any other car. What monster puts that only behind a submenu
