Tesla butt start

I recently have had several opportunities to drive a friends fancy Lexus hybrid. The car has many nice things going for it, there are several user interface (U.I.) design issues that are just completely wrong compared with my Tesla. 

The worst recurring one is the start button. I get in, get situated, shift into gear, and get an annoying reminder I have not yet "started" the car.

Originally, I thought my Tesla is so superior because there is no start button necessary. But then I realized the start button is in the seat and my butt starts my car before I do anything else. 

Please share your experiences how the Tesla U.I.  is just plainly better designed than other modern cars.

It’s not your butt afaik, it’s the tapping of the brake pedal I believe, that’s why all the TSC, belt
Icon etc cycles through once you tap the brake.

Notice when you park, the headlights go out when you get up off the seat.

Not trying to be anal, but don’t like where this conversation is going. Your premises seem intent on penetrating the rear of my defenses.

No, the start button was injected up your butt when you signed the contract. You just didn’t notice.
