Maybe Ryan could ask GM to send over the CAD file with the physical climate control buttons... 😂 🤣

That's pretty funny. I do like those physical buttons for HVAC though. That is a nice way to label (and possibly re label based on context?) physical buttons.

GM really went to school on the Mach E. The screen in this thread is nice... Many things are sort of an improvement, others are worse. Consider the door handles on the Lyriq. A bad copy of the Mach E.

Those buttons are ugly. Also, they’re not very good from an HMI perspective. You have a row of identical buttons with no tactile differentiation. You’re going to have to look away to see which button you’re hitting. Or, you could go over by touch, or relative to the volume knob. However, it also looks like those buttons are designed to be mode dependent, based on what’s on the screen. So…. There’s that as well.

The buttons are also not needed because of the knob! That's what the knob is for. The temperature should be changed by spinning the knob. Also the heated seat temperature.

Why, oh why, if they copied anything, did they copy the ugly tablet and even worse knob?
