I’m with you. So sad.The new controls are absolute garbage. I love my 2015 Model S more than any car I’ve ever owned. Sadly, it will be my last—Tesla doesn’t give a damn about actual driving anymore.

I’m sure it’s a great car for the money. Except for the lack of quality control, luxury materials, storage space, and of course the dangerous yoke.You would be hard pressed to find someone who has the new model S not like it due to the yoke or the lack of stalks. Yes its something to get used to because we are human and hate change, but thats part of life. The car is such an upgrade and so amazing. People are have quality problems but other than that, the majority absolutely love the car.
You can just cover whole set of buttons on the right side of the yoke with your palm to turn on horn. No need to look for the button.Taking away the center horn like any other car was a horrible choice. In an emergency you hit that without looking, now its a small button amongst a few others, so you have to look for it.
I think the yoke may be an intentional demand damper. Elon knows he has limited production capabilities, so why not add a super controversial feature to slow down orders. If Tesla ever needs to boost Model S/X sales, they'll offer a round wheel, for now they are keeping that in their back pockets. If Elon truly believed in the yoke, both Model 3 and Y would be shipping with it today (a cost optimization too) - the fact they are not means he knows it will tank the demand.I’d consider the upgrade but the yoke is a deal killer.

Yes. Supposedly the new suspension and adaptive data really helped, too. I was worried coming from a 3 that the S would feel floaty and boaty, but that's very much not the case at all.I have to mention the most impressive part of this new model, and thats the handling. I have driven the top tier sports sedans (eg. M5), and I would bet it can handle as well or even better. In areas where we have narrow twisty roads, I can take them at speeds comparable to my Mclaren. I just turned in my P100D, and the difference in handling between the 2 models is astounding. Anyone else with the Plaid notice this?
Odd, my 2017 was fine for quality control, luxury materials and great on storage space.I’m sure it’s a great car for the money. Except for the lack of quality control, luxury materials, storage space, and of course the dangerous yoke.
it’s there to see for anyone who has eyes, but I understand why Tesla fanatics can’t see it.
I own 3 Teslas already. I love Tesla. I am turning against Crazy Elon for some of the dumb things he is doing. Like the YOKE.Odd, my 2017 was fine for quality control, luxury materials and great on storage space.
I am looking forward to trying the yoke.
I just wonder what you are doing here if you don't like the cars Tesla makes?
Looking at it from a distance, this may be his plan all along. Think about it, only way to get this performance is except the yoke. His or the companies movement for automotive change isn't for the drivers enthusiast regardless what we want.I own 3 Teslas already. I love Tesla.

And there is always the chance we don't know what we want. I am willing to give the yoke a chance.Looking at it from a distance, this may be his plan all along.

It’s not just the stupid yoke. it’s also the removal of thr steering column controls. (Not broken, no need to fix it), and other things too.Imagine there will be aftermarket full steering wheel offerings for those who feel the Yoke is not for them.
Not that big a deal. Lots of people accessorize their stock cars to reflect their own desires.
I actually really like the removal of the steering column controls for the turn signals now, but only since the latest updates to those buttons.It’s not just the stupid yoke. it’s also the removal of thr steering column controls. (Not broken, no need to fix it), and other things too.
