any missing buttons

[Jimrpa]

That's good, but do you have to pop it open first from the car lever like a normal ice car? I think I'd probably put the charging cables there instead of in the trunk. If you fill the frunk up with cleaners and odds and ends, I'm afraid it will rattle like crazy over bumps.

There’s a dedicated underfloor storage area in the rear area for the mobile charger.

I think we are heading into a different discussion with this post: what features are missing. I think the original post was just what existing features should have had a button.

I was being a bit whiny/sarcastic ?

Play/pause button. It's important to be able to pause music or podcasts, but still hear Waze.

Here's the one from polestar (screen grab from EVDad video):

Perhaps they could update the on/off button in the middle of the volume knob to play/pause via OTA update

on a related topic: it would be possible (although horribly expensive) to have switchgear with faces that are small displays, and thus context-dependent. I believe there are computer keyboards available where the key caps are very small OLEDs. That might make for an interested by UI where you’d have hard switches for tactile feedback and definite knowledge of location, but switch function would be context-dependent.

I agree on updating the on/off in the middle of the dial. Would like to short-press to be play/pause and long press for on/off. Shouldn't be very difficult at all to implement.

I haven't tested this extensively, but I can confirm that with Android Auto + Spotify, the on/off button in the volume knob does function as a play/pause control. Learning this absolutely made my day. I had been having so much trouble accurately reaching over to hit pause in the Spotify app itself, but that area in the middle of the volume knob is easy to hit without taking my eyes off the road.
