VW Is Putting Buttons Back in Cars Because People Complained Enough
(www.thedrive.com)
Good news
When I bought my Tiguan the dealer was pushing really hard for me to get a 2022 which has just come in. It was the first year to have capacitive steering wheel buttons. I told them to find a 2021 or I'm looking at something else. I think the car market was still a little slow at that time so they made it happen to get a sale.
Progression is regression in this issue, thanks people!
Now only if I could complain enough that my recall on my Atlas gets the passanger air bag fixed. Got told in April that nobody can ride in the passenger seat because the air bag might not deploy. Still no ETA on when a fix will be available. What a BS company.

Yet the model Y is the world’s most sold car. Maybe it’s not the touch screen that is the problem.
Not sure where you get that data but according to Statista the top selling car is a Toyota corolla. Tesla model y is on the list but at #4.
Touchscreens probably aren't the deciding factor in a purchase but that doesn't mean that they aren't a problem for users. People just have to decide what features they are willing to compromise on (assuming they have a choice, and touchscreens increasingly are unavoidable).

As a Model 3 owner of 5 years, it's really a non issue, in my opinion. All the basic controls you need while in motion are on the steering wheel. The touchscreen is responsive and intuitive.
