At 3 dozen I wouldn't find these either. Absolutely agreed. 6 or 8 cassettes in the (waaay back) cassette thingie. So I'd know what was where. Same amount of music but less CDs when it was just regular CDs. And then just one or two MP3 CDs.

Most cars I have been in have abysmal automatic climate controls. Either too hot or too cold. Manual adjustment needed. For that I need knobs. If you give me a car that can actually keep me comfy without needing to adjust things I don't mind not having knobs. Yet to find such a car. Thus I need knobs for that.

For the music definitely need knobs. No car is gonna figure out my mood anytime soon. Thus I need knobs to switch to folder 3 that has my "calm me down music" or folder 5 for "I need Euro Dance now" etc.

Oh I see your point. If I had a car with a horrible climate control precision controlled via a touch display - I would be furious. In my mind I am comparing Tesla's automatic climate control (in my view - excellent) to traditional cars where I had to twist these X/Y joystick-like plastic sticks to turn the fan in the right direction. For me personally - no comparison, Tesla beats that hands down.
