My car has a button explicitly for DST on/off in the clock menu. It’s braindead dumb, has no concept of DST and all it does is +/- 1 the hour. I’ve yet to come across a more elegant solution save for an OS that is network aware doing it, but that comes with its own troubles.

Yep, my car (a Mazda) has that feature as well. Of course, this is the same car that has physical buttons that were specifically designed to be recognizable via feel so that you can use them without looking at them. It seems like Mazda actually cares about UX!
Why even have a dst button at that point. Just change the clock time. Assuming both feature are implemented equally well, it should be nearly equally easy to do.
