While basic driving functionality is the same, these cars are different. Tesla is not trying to be like other cars. If you want knobs, don't shop a Tesla.
If you are change adverse, a Tesla is probably not a good car for you. Change is the only constant; for example the screen has changed numerous times since we got the car. Even Tesla owners complain about this. Personally I like it, but I do have to refamiliarize myself from time to time.
I can tell you many people find our car too different, specifically the touchscreen interface. Speaking to the car via voice commands is not for everyone. Going through a car wash can be a daunting task due to all the automation. I seriously doubt my parents could have driven my car without through instruction.
Your comparison to the vehicle above is hardly apples to apples. To your point, you need a specific license to operate that vehicle. That's a steep learning curve.
@Trav, no offense taken. I am in awe of your considerable knowledge and respect your opinions. People join BITOG have a shared interest in vehicles and probably a deeper understanding of them. Not everyone is that way.
If you are ever in Silicon Valley, I would invite you to come over, take a drive, talk, whatever.
