I'm confused at the level of control these comments think an automatic (that technically only has 1 gear) needs. Are you guys shifting to neutral while weaving between cars?
Why? It’s an automatic, so you’re not going to be shifting gears in the middle of driving, and I guarantee you it won’t let you shift gears while moving.
😂 I guess you never seen a shift lock release on every automatic gear shift. It's there as a backup to unlock gearshift if the car doesn't start and you need to change to a different gear.
@@cha7260that’s completely different. That lock allows the car to be shifted to neutral in case of mechanical failure in order to be towed, not to let you reverse if your screen is lagging. Neither of the options shown in this video would work if the car can’t turn on. I’d assume there is some third was that allows for the Tesla to be moved when off, but this isn’t it
@@BradDiBenedetto You would have to pass Reverse before going into Neutral. For the Tesla, it is highly unlikely that both the screen and the buttons failed, but the only other likely scenario would be a dead 12v battery, which can be jumped or swapped.

@@Quinho1525A Legitimately that just helps my point. I know that all modern selectors aren’t physical links, and so it’s even more on the automotive-company to make either known systems that’s both are reliable both on a physical and muscle-memory standpoint, but also don’t run into unknown-issues such as a laggy screen, software updates, and are issue-prone and unknown to the degree they require a backup. It’s a simple thing that has legitimate consequences and causes for concern; just like climate control, I shouldn’t have to press a screen and look away from the road to change the direction of airflow and or change the temperature of my car. Yet automotive companies are pushing for it such as Tesla, because they don’t care about your safety (just as Tesla is actively not allowing the public to view cybertruck safety tests) they just care about making something look unique to cater to people such as the first commenter on this post, when it poses an actual risk to peoples lives. What’s next? Advocacy for companies to allow you through a subscription to access to safety features your car is already capable of, oh wait… That’s already a thing.

For example, your computer will run far longer than your car, because your computer does self diagnostics and repairs any faults it comes across in the software and because there are far fewer moving parts that require maintenance and lubrication.

You can shift gears multiple ways, not just with the screen. While i acknowledge that current EVs lack the infrastructure and tech to really be worth it, to discourage the idea is misguided. Imagine if people gave up on the idea of cars after the first few models. They were terrible compared to horses. A lot of stuff you use today came from somebody taking an idea and making it better. Just because something isn't good now doesn't mean it can't be good. Not saying you have to like it, but just keep an open mind.
@Horible4 I agree that if it wasn't for the people of the past and their inventions, we wouldn't have the things we have today. But sometimes technology has no business making things worse for people. I wouldn't trust a car to drive itself, and I don't like the touchscreen tech. I mean, the amount of times we tap the wrong buttons on our phones, even if we touched the button we wanted. Technology has always been defective in some way. I wouldn't trust my life in a car like that for that reason.
@@Dondizle self-driving technology is a lot further along than you think. People make the videos of the bugs with the system but for the most part you don't see the system doing anything egregious like swerving into oncoming traffic. You can say you wouldn't trust it all you want but the reality is computers can plot and process way faster than you could ever hope to, and can see crashes coming before they happen and course corrects your vehicle to avoid collisions. The amount of human error it takes out of the equation makes sense when you consider how many aggressive drivers there are. Suddenly the one or two faults you see on the road with these vehicles is less of a concern when you consider humans are 20x more likely to make a mistake than a self driving car. When you see it in action, it's impressive and feats of engineering. There are downsides to it, obviously and there should be laws regulating how it's used but to say it's worse for people and has no business being in cars is questionable at best. There's issues with efficiency sure but self-driving is hardly a flaw and will always be more precise and careful than you will.
@Horible4 Personally, I'm all for evs. I commute by cycling myself so I'm all for sustainable forms of transport. My issue is, you already had things going in the right direction with the old prius. Environmentally friendly and reliable. This truck has a touch sensitive "gear selecter" in the most awkward place as a back up for a screen "gear selecter". It doesn't even trust its own tech to stay working. Then he shows all the other stuff and im just thinking, "if that screen doesnt work, how will i know that the rest of it would" This seems more like a gamers fantasy than a drivers/activist fantasy.
Correct. A lot of modern cars go in that direction and for many people it seems to be what they want out of cars these days. "live nicely while being stuck in the traffic jam" seems to be the idea.
@@DrKoneko when did I say about shifting while driving? There are numerous distractions around the vicinity of the driver himself…including the screen. Sure, the driverless mode is probably there but not all places have that in mind
You can’t watch TikTok or anything while the car isn’t parked. There’s no distractions. If there were all the other Teslas would have an abundance of crashes
Well you can use the screen or the button obviously but one thing that people need to realize is that there is no gears there is no transmission this is all motor controller software controlled drivetrain, basically there is no drivetrain it's just a wheel hooked up to a motor
See, it’s funny because you don’t change gears. You change the direction the motor spins electronically. So a physical gear shifter would be putting a limit switch on a stick, at which point just use a fkn screen anyway.
@@da4127 don’t buy a Tesla, it’s clearly not the right car for you. Nothing wrong with that opinion at all.

Nothing against anyone who likes Tesla and the no button design, but I’m agains this trend of “let’s make every car like this” and if we don’t voice our dislike, then manufacturers will just keep thinking “guess everybody likes having no buttons at all”, so it’s also important for us to express this

@OneHellOfASandwich nah. calling this kind of shifter a gimmick on an EV implies that it's not the most practical or reliable way to shift it, when in fact it is. The reason electronic shifters (dials, buttons) were considered a gimmick on gas vehicles is because it adds moving and electronic parts. Instead of the shifter having a direct, mechanical connection to the transmission, they changed gears electronically, which means more moving parts. But whether you know it or not, most shift knobs work this way. There's no actual connection, just microswitches. The reason buttons and screens like this makes the most sense on an EV is because they don't even have transmissions to begin with. You are changing the direction of the motor. Why add moving parts? Why even have mechanical buttons when you can use capacitive buttons that have zero chance of wearing out or getting gunked up and stuck?

And mechnical things having moving parts is exactly why they're built to last. If you're going to argue against me actually try please.
@@Lakita2880 less moving parts = less failure points. I drive a Tesla model 3 and while sometimes it may have bugs (which don't get me wrong is an issue) I have never been in a situation where it wouldn't let me drive properly. My convertible car however gives me all kinds of issues because it has so many moving parts. I've had to replace the alternator, fix a misfire, and replace a fuel line. My dad's Tesla has required no maintenance whatsoever. In fact the only parts I have known to fail on a Tesla are the motorized door handles of the model s and the power doors of the model X. I have never ever heard of a Tesla that wouldn't drive as long as it has power. And just because my experience has been perfect doesn't mean everyones is, same with your car which has never died on you. I've had a ford escape that needed a transmission replaced. I had a Nissan Murano that needed a drive shaft replaced. I had a f150 that needed a new piston ring. I have a mustang right now that probably needs an entire rebuild. Moving parts introduce so many weak points that are prone to failure. An EV has a motor that is connected directly to the wheels meaning the thing that fails is the motor. Mechanical parts are built to last but that doesn't mean they're invincible and if you're claiming they are than you're obviously just turning a blind eye to the facts.

@@Quinho1525A Legitimately that just helps my point.
I know that all modern selectors aren’t physical links, and so it’s even more on the automotive-company to make either known systems that’s both are reliable both on a physical and muscle-memory standpoint, but also don’t run into unknown-issues such as a laggy screen, software updates, and are issue-prone and unknown to the degree they require a backup. It’s a simple thing that has legitimate consequences and causes for concern; just like climate control, I shouldn’t have to press a screen and look away from the road to change the direction of airflow and or change the temperature of my car. Yet automotive companies are pushing for it such as Tesla, because they don’t care about your safety (just as Tesla is actively not allowing the public to view cybertruck safety tests) they just care about making something look unique to cater to people such as the first commenter on this post, when it poses an actual risk to peoples lives.

You can shift gears multiple ways, not just with the screen. While i acknowledge that current EVs lack the infrastructure and tech to really be worth it, to discourage the idea is misguided.
Imagine if people gave up on the idea of cars after the first few models. They were terrible compared to horses. A lot of stuff you use today came from somebody taking an idea and making it better.

@Horible4
I agree that if it wasn't for the people of the past and their inventions, we wouldn't have the things we have today.
But sometimes technology has no business making things worse for people. I wouldn't trust a car to drive itself, and I don't like the touchscreen tech. I mean, the amount of times we tap the wrong buttons on our phones, even if we touched the button we wanted.
Technology has always been defective in some way. I wouldn't trust my life in a car like that for that reason.
@@Dondizle self-driving technology is a lot further along than you think. People make the videos of the bugs with the system but for the most part you don't see the system doing anything egregious like swerving into oncoming traffic.
You can say you wouldn't trust it all you want but the reality is computers can plot and process way faster than you could ever hope to, and can see crashes coming before they happen and course corrects your vehicle to avoid collisions. The amount of human error it takes out of the equation makes sense when you consider how many aggressive drivers there are. Suddenly the one or two faults you see on the road with these vehicles is less of a concern when you consider humans are 20x more likely to make a mistake than a self driving car.
When you see it in action, it's impressive and feats of engineering. There are downsides to it, obviously and there should be laws regulating how it's used but to say it's worse for people and has no business being in cars is questionable at best. There's issues with efficiency sure but self-driving is hardly a flaw and will always be more precise and careful than you will.
@Horible4 Personally, I'm all for evs. I commute by cycling myself so I'm all for sustainable forms of transport. My issue is, you already had things going in the right direction with the old prius. Environmentally friendly and reliable. This truck has a touch sensitive "gear selecter" in the most awkward place as a back up for a screen "gear selecter". It doesn't even trust its own tech to stay working. Then he shows all the other stuff and im just thinking, "if that screen doesnt work, how will i know that the rest of it would" This seems more like a gamers fantasy than a drivers/activist fantasy.

"I use the screen to change gears" is the most dystopian phrase I've ever heard.
Well you can use the screen or the button obviously but one thing that people need to realize is that there is no gears there is no transmission this is all motor controller software controlled drivetrain, basically there is no drivetrain it's just a wheel hooked up to a motor
See, it’s funny because you don’t change gears. You change the direction the motor spins electronically. So a physical gear shifter would be putting a limit switch on a stick, at which point just use a fkn screen anyway.

Nothing against anyone who likes Tesla and the no button design, but I’m agains this trend of “let’s make every car like this” and if we don’t voice our dislike, then manufacturers will just keep thinking “guess everybody likes having no buttons at all”, so it’s also important for us to express this

@@GOREilla. elaborate
@OneHellOfASandwich nah. calling this kind of shifter a gimmick on an EV implies that it's not the most practical or reliable way to shift it, when in fact it is. The reason electronic shifters (dials, buttons) were considered a gimmick on gas vehicles is because it adds moving and electronic parts. Instead of the shifter having a direct, mechanical connection to the transmission, they changed gears electronically, which means more moving parts. But whether you know it or not, most shift knobs work this way. There's no actual connection, just microswitches. The reason buttons and screens like this makes the most sense on an EV is because they don't even have transmissions to begin with. You are changing the direction of the motor. Why add moving parts? Why even have mechanical buttons when you can use capacitive buttons that have zero chance of wearing out or getting gunked up and stuck?

@@Lakita2880 less moving parts = less failure points. I drive a Tesla model 3 and while sometimes it may have bugs (which don't get me wrong is an issue) I have never been in a situation where it wouldn't let me drive properly. My convertible car however gives me all kinds of issues because it has so many moving parts. I've had to replace the alternator, fix a misfire, and replace a fuel line. My dad's Tesla has required no maintenance whatsoever. In fact the only parts I have known to fail on a Tesla are the motorized door handles of the model s and the power doors of the model X. I have never ever heard of a Tesla that wouldn't drive as long as it has power. And just because my experience has been perfect doesn't mean everyones is, same with your car which has never died on you. I've had a ford escape that needed a transmission replaced. I had a Nissan Murano that needed a drive shaft replaced. I had a f150 that needed a new piston ring. I have a mustang right now that probably needs an entire rebuild. Moving parts introduce so many weak points that are prone to failure. An EV has a motor that is connected directly to the wheels meaning the thing that fails is the motor. Mechanical parts are built to last but that doesn't mean they're invincible and if you're claiming they are than you're obviously just turning a blind eye to the facts.

how is having all your controls on the center screeen safer than having everything on the steering wheel?
Who tf said that
The cybertruck comes with its own death trap feature too!
Because its so incredibly strong and wont absorb impact well during a crash it can send you to the hospital! We didnt think about physics!
I was saying stuff like this too until I saw the actual safety tests and it performed better than some other trucks. I was very surprised at how well it crumpled.
@@FixxedMiXX depending on the crash it could be worse or better for the passengers, but a well intended joke!

“And if it doesn’t work”
Anticipating that it will break is funny as hell
It isn’t. Every car is designed with redundancies in mind. It doesn’t make sense to keep an important task locked behind one point of failure with no other place to reach it. Which is why they added a second more manual selector in case you get an error code or something in your main screen. Technology can be complicated and mistakes happen.
