What are your pet peeves on the controls of the car?
Mine are:
1. the location of the EV, Charge and Save buttons. Why couldn't they all be the same button and in a better location?
2. the windshield defrost. The fan always starts up at high speed. I turn it down, but the next time I turn on the defrost it's at high speed again. Not sure why it can't remember the last setting.
The fact that the display in the center console always reverts to showing the radio channel and I have to select whatever option I want to see, EVERY single time I start the car.

1. A simple matter of muscle memory - in time you will be able to use them blindfold - not that you will need to use them that often.
2. Isn't the whole point of defrost to clear the windscreen as fast as possible, meaning that the fan runs at high speed?
1. These controls are also a pet peeve of mine. I'm always having to constantly press buttons every single time I get in the car. 48 seconds before getting on the freeway, CHARGE mode, then SAVE mode, to warm up the ICE and keep it on. Getting off the freeway or getting into a traffic jam, SAVE mode off.
2. An alternate use of it is preventing the windshield from fogging, even if it's not presently fogged. And for this use, you don't need to blast the fan as high as possible.
Oh thank god i'm not the only one with these feeling...
1- The windshield deforst
2- display that revert back to radio each time, even the sub menu also revert to their default screen, IE: the display for electric flow (my car is in french and I don't remember all the name of the icon yet)
3- The location of the SAVE, Charge and EV buttons.
And i'll add 2 of my own not mentioned:
4- The lack of console/storage space due to the location of these button
5- The size and distance relative to the driver seat of the "shift arm" (the arm that you use to go into drive or reverse)
