I complain to my wife about it a lot, because she is a car designer. She does exteriors, not interiors, though. She just shrugs her shoulders and says, "If you hate it now, give it 5 more years." Supposedly the insider trend is that the entire dash will be a curved screen at some point in the self-driving future. Probably a good way for them to serve you ads while you're trying to get from point a to b.
Tesla also updates the UI so you need to relearn the steps and find things that were moved. We had the screen go totally unresponsive, which required a reset. No radio, map, fan, etc. My wife waited a couple of days before I came home from a trip because she was worried the reset might fail and then she'd have no transportation.

Hey Tesla, The devil's in the details, right? One can at least expect as the electric car segment has some reasonable competition, B.S. like this will vanish. My iPhone has never done similar after an update. If it didiit did, I likely would not have an iPhone in my hand.
