A friend of mine has a 2017 Audi S5. Audi's approach to the infotech displays in that car are simply amazing. Informative, fully programmable, and integrated into the dash styling. What it doesn't look like is half a laptop stuck on a piece of wood.
The design style of the laptop stuck on the dash is not an advancement by any means. The Model S could have been designed in the same manner, yet it has a full gauge cluster and hand controls for vital functions. The Model 3 is simply a cost-cutting design, no other conclusion can be reached.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
