I for one don't want a UX in my car. I have a phone, and I use that for navigation. I don't need that duplicated in my car.
I want tactile controls (knobs and levers and pushbuttons) I can use by feel without taking my eyes off the road.
And, of course the UX of a Tesla is something that just can be bought from a third-party supplier and bolted on like a fuel injector or axle or radio. It's just a matter of hiring some smart developers. Many readers here could probably do it in a weekend ;-).
exactly this. i have older car without any fancy big screen. what for? all the necessary info is displayed anyway, for navigation i use offline maps which are superior to anything embedded i've seen (and free to update via wifi - this is due to my particular data limits in europe).
to adjust heating/volume/switch song/etc i don't need to lose focus on road, i just know which knob to turn or which button to press. I know by experience that when i look at central panel, nuke can blow in front of my car and my eyes would barely register it since it's not in my direct focus - very, very dangerous.
it feels much more premium to have dedicated physical controls for all required tasks. fuck tablets in cars, it's horrible idea that should be put only into cheapest cars, or straight forbidden.
