Does anyone prefer the digital gauges to real ones? I’m rabidly allergic to the screen-based car controls, and I feel like I see a lot of that in the comments here and in conversation with friends and relatives.

Where is the pro-digital-control constituency hiding out? Surely the manufacturers wouldn’t be going so hard this way if market research bore out quite that degree of resistance.

I think it's a kind if lock-in. Digital stuff isn't repairable and requires the dealer to fix it, plus they force you into a digital ecosystem they control so they can upsell, show ads, harvest information etc. I think it's all driven by what they want to force on people rather than what people want. What's the point of regulatory capture if you don't use it, right?
