The Model Y, 3 has no physical latch in the back seat to exit. As an owner who primarily sits in the front seat this was a significant oversight on my part. And I won’t be making it again.
What? How does one exit the car then?

Maybe try using the "myToyota Connect" app for a day, or most any legacy carmarker's touchscreen UI, and tell me who's the worst at improving their technology. Although I do agree with Woz that not having a physical latch for opening the glovebox on the Tesla is the stupidest thing ever.
Cars do not need touchscreens to operate. They never had to so far and worked just fine.
This story makes me laugh. The irony of an Apple co-founder chastising another company for updates that slowly and significantly make the experience worse everytime is too rich. I don’t have a Tesla and I’m fully bought into the Apple ecosystem and my god, the recent updates to the HomePod line and Siri have made it genuinely unusable. Not a single speaker can stay in sync for a whole song. And god forbid you want to…
When was the last time Woz worked at Apple, and what was his rate of creation while there?

Once a week (more lately), a random picture takes over car's entire UI. As in, it is stroring backup cam data, and randomly showing a photo from weeks ago until I restart the car.
Not a "deal breaker", but I functionally cannot use maps, music, the clock.
"cars do not need toiuchscreeps to operate" yeah but i paid to be able to use the car's features.

Except you don't nees to. On a Toyota tou van just use Android auto, and never deal with the Toyota infotainment thing. Also, the car hás plenty of physical buttons, so I only ever interact with touchscreen for maps.
Pathetic.

Any car that requires me to interact with a touchscreen to do anything that I want to do while driving is, in my opinion, not fit for purpose. Of all of the malfeatures that have been incorporated into modern cars, I think touchscreens are in the top three list of the worst.

What’s actually weird is you can’t disable/block Netflix. Kids didn’t quite figure out they can just have unfettered screen time in car just yet tho.
I’ll just add that adding second screen in back nowadays is bonkers. In my circle most of kids have 0 screen time. Screen is an antithesis of clean and quiet car.
As for rate of improvement - Tesla maybe got 1 or 2 decent new features over last 2 years of my ownership. My list of ideas when I bought it was about 20.
