Here is my latest video on getting acclimated to the yoke. Less than 72 hrs, but feeling more comfortable with it and the turn signals...
Nope and that's the problem.A yoke is best suited for vehicles that only need 90 degrees of yoke movement left or right (so 1/2 turn lock-lock). That's all aircraft yokes turn. From the videos above, it looks like Tesla did not reduce the number of turns lock-lock needed to make a yoke style control useful for street driving.
Cool vid. You're right it won't be for everyone, but really...nothing to see here Basically, what you are saying is that someone who tried it says it's OK for reasons that are obvious once you've actually tried it...and a bunch of angry people on the internet who have no idea what they are talking about say it will never work. Sounds similar to radar gate. Still be lots who say 'deal breaker' before touching one though. I say, looks fun, why not make driving fun!Here is my latest video on getting acclimated to the yoke.

Question: how is the turning circle? The old S wasn't great, and this new S on the specs it's listed as over 40 feet, which is terrible on paper. How is it in practice?Here is my latest video on getting acclimated to the yoke. Less than 72 hrs, but feeling more comfortable with it and the turn signals:
Only thing I foresee negative besides adapting is the extra wear likely the yoke will receive due to added pressure being placed on certain parts of the wheel as compared to a traditional steering wheel.Here is my latest video on getting acclimated to the yoke.

Guess the yolk’s on them! Har har.The writers of the article are going to have egg on their face when they realize… oh forget it.
