Hello,
As referenced in a separate thread, this is intended to separate issues related to the yoke, specifically sentiment vs. function. I get that some people "love" the yoke (and some people hate it), and nobody should minimize that appreciation (or disdain). However, I'm trying to figure out how the yoke improves on the function of the wheel in a Model S.
Aside from "it looks better" or "it feels better," how does a yoke functionally improve over the wheel in a Model S? With the core function of the yoke/wheel being controlling the car's direction, how does the yoke functionally improve over the wheel?
The most frequently cited examples seem to be "it forces you to put your hands at 9 and 3, which is safer for airbag deployment" and "it gives greater visibility of the main binnacle."
Beyond those (if one allows that those are benefits), what are the other functional benefits of the yoke over the wheel?
Thanks!
