Which functions were buried? All the images I can find of the 2016/2017 model have the same sound and climate controls as the 2020. The only major difference was that they replaced the capacitive buttons next to the touch screen with real buttons, but I think that happened before the 2020 model. The 2022 seems to have the same controls as well, but rearranged (and the touch screen moved farther away)

All the climate control was in the touchscreen. No knobs, only a button that took you to the climate control screen, but you had to change all the settings on the touchscreen. (Looking at the photos, you could change the temperature but nothing else. No fan speed, A/C, etc.)

The capacitive slider for volume seems fine, until you realize it was implemented entirely in software, so if the touchscreen hadn't finished booting, or was slow because it was too cold, that experienced extreme lag. Since the steering wheel buttons ALSO didn't work until the touchscreen booted, it meant if the wife was listening to music super loud with the windows down at night, when you turned the car on in the morning it took about 10s to be able to turn the volume down.
