I love my Polestar 2. But there's gotta be a better way to do touchscreen climate controls. I've had mine for 8 months now, and had to google in order to figure out that the car had dual-climate zones—it's really hard to tell from the swipe-up page, so I just assumed it didn't have that feature for a while. Plus, I don't feel comfortable changing the climate settings while driving, because I might hit the wrong touchscreen button when I'm not looking at the screen.

But hey, maybe if I wait around another 5-10 years, there'll be more than 3 mainstream electric sedan options available for the US market and I'll be able to find the perfect car.

Recently drove a Dodge Hornet rental and it had a slew of physical climate buttons, most of which didn’t make sense or didn’t control what I wanted. In the course of trying to just turn on the defrost from the touchscreen, I turned on the heated steering wheel, stopped the airflow to the cabin, adjusted the driver side temperature way higher than I wanted, and probably subscribed to Disney+
