Tech is abysmal and incredibly laggy or unresponsive, controls are awful and impossible to use safely, voice control doesn't work well, many features buried in menus's, VW cheaped out and removed rear window switches (one of the stupidest cost savings features ever), it was very difficult to engage the rear windows due to the touch controls. System even crashed once while driving. For a production car it felt very unfinished.
While the Mach-E and Tesla also use a lot of touch controls they are much more responsive and controls aren't buried as much. I had to look at a few Youtube videos to see if the lag was just on my my tester but other videos mentioned it as a sore point. Usually tech and ergonomics are a VW strongpoint (mk7 golf is a great example of this) but here it was poorly implemented. Apparently VW had a large amount of issues with this in the iD3 as well, as well as delays due to software bugs. I think I even read somewhere they demoted one of the employees because of it.
