The Model 3/Y have many physical controls and is great to drive! The doors on the X are pretty silly though.


The Model 3 today is alright. Would be significantly better with auto presenting door handles, a normal latch for the glovebox, an infrared sensor for rain, and the option to use old school cruise control.

The thought that they might do something silly like a yoke and "automatic" gear selection in the Model 3 is a bit horrifying. That will push away a lot of the regular folks who just want their car to be a car. Hell, I'd like to be able to turn OFF autopilot on my model 3 altogether, because I'd happily give up lane keeping just for the ability to use old-school cruise control.


The door handles don't bug me, but they do confuse people the first few times.

Couldn't care less about the glovebox. I don't keep anything I regularly use in there and I like that it has a PIN for secure storage and is otherwise invisible.

Haven't tried the yoke so who the hell knows.

I would never want to use cruise control instead of Autopilot (though it does have it, sort of). I assume by "old school" you mean not using the Autopilot speed logic?
