    The tesla steering "wheel" looks good, but is dangerous as fuck. The classic round steering wheel is a better design because it enables you to grab the steering wheel from any angle. Its more accessible, especially when you need to quickly grab the wheel with both hands to do a last munite maneuver to avoid something.

    I think the yoke its self is fine as well and it's the buttons that are a problem. The big one for me is the horn. The horn is something that you need to be able to use in an instant. I can think of many times where I was cut off and if I honked a second later, I would of been hit.

      I doubt this steering wheel is even legal in Norway. The turn signal in a roundabout was my first thought when I saw the blinker buttons. I've struggled with that in Euro Truck Simulator with my G27 wheel and the physical buttons on it for turn signals.
      Also, going from this car to my other cars and vice versa is going to be a challenge if I was to get one

      Yokes aren’t supposed to need such angles of turning. It’s supposed to be able to do most turns with 90 degrees turns, so your hands always stay on the grip. The issue with that car is that they put a yoke on a standard steering rack.

      @@RyoHazuki224 Tesla is doing it the Apple way, giving a huge middle finger to every consumer "We dont care what you want". They just want to cut costs. It's cheaper to have less parts and have everything just controlled via a PCB board and electronics and possibly a touchscreen, rather than physical parts for that. It has the only upside, that theoretically less can break. That only comes to play though, when you build shitty quality. The clear downside is, it decreases safety cause you often have to look where you touch a button, so you take your eyes off the street, and the other downside is, once one tiny part breaks, you cant fix it, you have to replace the whole thing. As it was shown in RichRebuilds where they guy was told by tesla he had to buy a whole new battery pack for 16 grand because some tiny part for the cooling broke after being hit by debris on the street. Yeah Environment! Elon is so full of shit.

      Actually they are the best thing. While driving you don't want to be going threw menus etc, it's dangerous. You should be able to click something fast and easy. Car computers are stupid and on top of that they make the electric wiring of the car very complicated and the car overall more prone to electrical issues with all kind of things going wrong, from censors top chips etc.
      The less you have the better.
      My proposal is all manufacturers should put all basic factions in buttons and instead of putting an entertainment unit they should just have an adjustable space on the main console were you can put a smartphone or even a tablet and have it connect with the car and it's speakers etc and be able to use that. They can have an app for the car that they update etc.

      This solution with a hard-to-reach touch button likely adds a second or even more to the total time before you can sound the horn. I feel it's kind if a dangerous choice Tesla made.

    Great video! This was really interesting to watch.
    The Sterring wheel is a bit of a let down.
    I had thought the whole reason these manufacturers had moved to that rectangular design is to eliminate having to turn the wheel multiple times, and instead just turn up the sensitivity, so for most turns you'd barely turn the wheel, and then for tight turns you just turn it all the way left or right.
    Unfortunately, it looks like they still want you to turn the normal way, which, as you've shown is a little awkward with that shape of steering wheel.
    Actually, I'm not even sure if they can call that a steering "Wheel" anymore. More like a steering block.
