The situation is just stupid - when I first posted my comment, I said the car would still be functional and that issue is not that serious, I immediately received a reply that basically criticizes me for being a pro-Tesla apologist (now deleted, apparently an honest misread), and now I have comments saying I'm anti-Tesla. But the fact is, I'm neither, I was simply expressing a specific criticism that it's not a good design that the dashboard is not separated from the rest of the entertainment system, and I said nothing about how good or bad Tesla is, as a car overall, or whether Tesla, Inc. is a good company.

It's simply a result of much more attention and scrutiny of Tesla on HN because it's a popular car/company in the Silicon Valley.
