That Mercedes dash is horrid, and many or most of the ICU brands moving toward EVs are making the mistake of keeping buttons and switches and/or making their screens look like buttons and switches. Sigh.

I rarely need to touch the screen in a Tesla while driving. Mostly temp control adjustments but those are all accessible through voice commands.
