Hello! I am new here on a test drive week-end with a base (long range) model S.
I am actually interested in buying a Plaid, as my first Tesla - some kind of "Tesla-virgin" and they lent me this for testing as no Plaids were available.
I need advice regarding ... seating position.
Despite trying hard I am unable to simultaneously achieve a comfortable seating and steering wheel position while keeping vital instruments in sight. The optimum seat / wheel setting results in the upper part of the wheel partly masking the speed indication and completely masking everything in the upper center part of the display.
I can of course adjust:
- the seat up - losing armrest comfort or
- the steering wheel up - making it awkwardly high.
I like neither and such problems simply do not exist in any other of our cars.
I tried (and will try again) moving the steering wheel and seat in many combinations, but it seems to me that there is a fundamental mismatch between the wheel and instrument layout?
Is it just me or anyone else has the issue.
Is this a silly consequence of this car being designed for a yoke ?
Grateful for input. Safe and fun driving to all.
PS: Would it be of interest if I wrote a post "New Tesla driver's impressions on the 2023 Model S "?
