I forget to mention this: it tries to "punish" me by disabling the function if I don't put my hands there. But the fact is that I put my hand there all the time and Tesla is just too stupid to detect it...
Model 3 MY 2024 even cancelled the stalk, which is a terrible idea for roundabout .
Can't imagine trying to drive safely without those.
The layout of the touch UI was better on the Tesla. I question the I5 design teams sanity for making HUD controls and seat warmers take 5-6 touches to access.
I guess the right thing to do is live like a king in a gas burning beater until people stop posting about insane problems like this!
This is a touch UI problem in general not specific to an EV.
For specifically the HUD, I'm often on dark rural roads at night where deer are extremely common.
The HUD is bright enough to affect my night vision in these roads so I turn it off when driving on them.
The GMC Acadia(gas burner) I rented had HUD controls as physical buttons on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. I push 1 button and the HUD is off.
The Ioniq 5? I don't have an exact count but it's 3-4 menu levels deep, probably takes 5-6 touches to get to it.
