Glove box and hazard lights are physical buttons as per legal requirements at the time for model S. I believe hazards are now the only physical button requirement with model 3. Less buttons to fail really though it's run by a motor so go figure.
The doors aren't mechanical either. They are run by wire with mechanical overrides. I love the push button door opening rather than searching for a latch. And in the model Y, the doors open and close by themselves which is nice. As someone who loves technology, I find it trick.
The Mustang and Merc we have, for example, has so many options on the steering wheel that my older parents struggle with (Heck, I do to as the cruise control is on a different side in some of the cars that further confuses). They love that there are only a couple of buttons on the Tesla. Much cleaner controls. The Falcons had nice and clear/simple controls on the steering as well. I've never used any of the buttons on the Everest and Falcon except for the temperature up or down. The rest are redundant.
I find it easier having everything in the touchscreen and voice driven. I hate buttons in a cabin. Keep it clean.
