That's going to be fun when you need to do multi-point turn.
I really hope you are wrong.
it’s not at all uncommon on cars today. Honda / Acura and Lincoln are huge adopters of it. So is Aston Martin.

The Model S interior refresh is AWESOME.
You are not going to need to spin the yoke around 4 times to make a u-turn so put that aside as an issue.
I was here years ago when there was all the crying about the Model 3 interior. Ohhhh I need to see the speedometer in front of me.
Ohhhh I can't handle the screen in the middle. Ohhhhh I want buttons instead of a tablet.
You don't need to believe the new design is better.
Just accept it.
Undoubtedly.
I mean they already have 3 modes in the 3/Y.
They just need a 4th low speed mode that gradually kicks in say below 25mph and enables full lock on about a 60 degree turn (so hands move from 9/3 to say 11/5 for a right)
This is the right side of it, between horn button and wipers is a button to engage TACC. I believe the gearshift is on the big screen..

Roughly equivalent to a P85DL when new (read: before gimping of 85 kWh packs.)Also noticed the Plaid 1.99 is marked with an asterisk denoting 1 foot roll out. The 3.1 doesn't indicate it uses that measurement, so if this is accurate an apples to apples would be 2.8-2.9 for the base with roll-out.....
Perhaps the wheel is of a modular design, and the half-rectangle yoke can be replaced with a traditional round wheel without removing the airbag to get at the steering shaft nut behind it? Recessed/covered Torx/Hex bolts on the rear of the spokes maybe?View attachment 631450 Soo this is interesting.. I almost wonder if it will ship with a round wheel for legal reasons but comes with a removable yoke wheel to put on at your own risk.
Fast enough that it wouldn't feel like a downgrade from my current P85DL.Agreed. 3.7 was fast already. Now 3.1? High end sports car speed.
If fly-by-wire, I hope it is decoupled from the MCU and has redundancy!I think people are looking at this all wrong. It's not very likely that you're going to spin this steering device very far past 90 degrees in either direction. Likely, the amount that the actual wheels steer left or right relative to the rotation of the yoke will change based on speed via software. It might also be a curve vs. linear relationship. Think fly-by-wire, not mechanical.
Countrymen of mine tried similar stupid things almost 30 years ago...

AI/ML via DOjoI back in to my garage at home. I wonder how it’s going to know when I’m ready to switch from driving forward to driving in reverse?
Wanting one badly and actually buying one are two very different things. No need to tell me to "get over it" as you're assuming I'm going to order one already. I always buy used - let the first owner take the hit in depreciation. I will get a 2021 Plaid in 2024.Bleeding edge tech at higher price, man! The sooner you get over it the better. Hold your money in the stocks while waiting and you might get your next car for free
I think that's more of a concern on a traditional steering wheel, where your controls can actually be upside down and on opposite sides from where they normally are. You won't have that issue with this new steering device.
Where have you seen that - The data I saw said that the technologies from the Model 3 and Model Y are now in use on the new Model S. Where did you see the use of the 18650s?Yes, 18650, just like always.

Great. Thanks. I was wondering, you mentioned how you'd like to increase your purchases of cells from suppliers. Does this require them to also have the capability to build structural 4680 cells of the sort that you're putting in these newer iterations of vehicles?
Elon Musk -- Founder and Chief Executive Officer
No, it does not. Although, we are talking with them about making the 4680 form factor, but they -- it is not required. For example, the new S currently uses the 18650 form factor. So they're just a more advanced cell, and we think we'll continue to use that form factor for at least a few years. But we will, over time, be retiring the form factors and try to move to a consistent form factor.
Completely stupid. So if the touchscreen dies. You cant move the car. s
Not touchscreen.
Buttons below wireless charging pads - where a stick shift would effectively be.
