The Tesla touchscreen + 2 steering wheel jog dialy encoder things is the best car interface I've used, having owned ~35 different cars of various makes and classes over the years. Model years ranging from 1962 to 2021.
My advice to make peace with the Tesla screen: Embrace the car for what it is.
Fewer moving parts not just in the drivetrain, but as a philosophy.
Why clutter up physical and mental space with a control you'll use once a year?
Embrace "automatic" for things like climate and wipers.
Embrace picking something to listen to when you set off, and leaving it there.
Embrace the (at least if you have a 3 or Y) highly tactile steering wheel buttons.
You can fiddle with the volume and track selection from the steering wheel, and on the right side the voice works just fine for things like changing the temperature, or making a phone call. On many trips you may never touch that screen while the car is in motion.
