OLED would seem to be a better solution though.
@dragoontwo you are correct that general aviation screens, for the moste part, have knobs and buttons around the bezel for most operations, in addition to touch.
My assertion was that this is probably not the same panel as the car

This is based on two points
1) OLED has more resistance to temperature extremes than industrial LCD
2) I doubt Tesla would pay for either OLED or extreme temperature LCD in their cars for cost reasons.

False assumption: LCDs could not be used in space. The type of liquid used determines the usable temperature range... there are several to choose from if you are willing to pay... but OLED is still better.
