    You can’t even have that on an ICE car. You have no idea how many chips a modern ICE car has. Also, if you had a button for each function, your dashboard would look like a airliner cockpit. Modern ICE cars also have touchscreen menus.

    What you’re asking for is not EV-specific, ALL cars are drenched in electonics.

      No, you don’t get it. You’re generalizing.

      The drive system needs electronics to function. Fine let’s keep those. I don’t need anything else. So don’t add a center console that depends on Android. When you do, you equate a car’s life to the life span of a phone. That’s environmentally irresponsible because a car can easily be functional 20 years from now while that console will be obsolete in just a couple of years. Simply add functional surfaces where one may add an off the shelve tablet.

        You are complaining about center consoles, not EVs. You are actually confusing a dashboard with propulsion.

          Ah, I see the confusion! You are comparing the car’s interior design (center consoles) with the actual chemistry and electric motor driving the wheels. That’s like trying to listen to the radio with the car’s dashboard instead of its propulsion system. You are confusing driving with a cup holder!"

            This community is about electric (… propulsion) vehicles but off you go again on center consoles. You can start a community on center consoles you know.
