Have A Tesla & Want Normal Buttons & Knobs? - CleanTechnica

The article discusses a common criticism among Tesla owners and potential buyers regarding the vehicle's reliance on a touchscreen interface for controlling many functions, such as air conditioning, radio, and door locks. While some Tesla users appreciate the touchscreen-centric design, others prefer traditional tactile controls like buttons and knobs for ease of use while driving. Addressing this demand, a Norwegian startup named Greenmission has developed an accessory called the "CTRL-Platform," a small bar that attaches to the bottom of the Tesla touchscreen to provide physical buttons and knobs for these controls. Greenmission is launching this product via a Kickstarter campaign, offering early supporters special perks. The article encourages interested readers to check out the Kickstarter page promptly, as the campaign was nearing its end at the time of writing. The CTRL-Platform aims to enhance usability by combining the benefits of Tesla’s touchscreen with the convenience of traditional controls, potentially appealing to both current Tesla owners and those considering the brand.
