Nice review with a bit more technical bent:

Nah. They'll still sell with or without stalks. 1 needle (not going to buy this stalk less car) in a haystack.I always enjoy Sandy's analysis.
I cannot disagree more with him on the stalks, though. He views them as a cost. I view them as a critical piece of the interface. He talks about how the are expensive and Tesla saves money by taking them out but I can say for a fact that I will not buy a car without a turn signal stalk. Period. I know I'm not alone, either. They may save money on production but they'll lose it in sales.
True, a few will not buy. But sales are not impacted by nonsales, Highland is selling like hot cakes and production can barely keep up with demand. Take a look at the Highland waiting threads.I know I'm not alone, either. They may save money on production but they'll lose it in sales.
That’s the thing- I’m far from the only needle. Tesla tried to convince people that the yoke was a good idea but no one bought it (figuratively or literally) and they were forced to change back. I expect the same to happen with the stalks.Nah. They'll still sell with or without stalks. 1 needle (not going to buy this stalk less car) in a haystack.
“Sales are not affected by nonsales?”True, a few will not buy. But sales are not impacted by nonsales, Highland is selling like hot cakes and production can barely keep up with demand. Take a look at the Highland waiting threads.
almost everyone shifted from Analogue to Digital-change is a natural phenomenon-embrace it or lose sleep for nothing.“Sales are not affected by nonsales?”
You really need to listen to yourself to see how nonsensical you are.
Lol. Nice attempt at casting me as a luddite. If I was opposed to change I wouldn’t have purchased an EV.almost everyone shifted from Analogue to Digital-change is a natural phenomenon-embrace it or lose sleep for nothing.
After trying a car without stalks, I can say I won't be buying any car that has stalks.I always enjoy Sandy's analysis.

I suspect this will be the eventual path for all auto makers.I always enjoy Sandy's analysis.

Think about it - buttons have been around since before stalks and car manufacturers have been putting buttons on the steering wheel for decades. Do you think no ones thought of it before? No, Elon’s just the first one to be arrogant enough to think it was a good idea.
It is a Model 3, but the very first time it was referred to as the Highlander.the car was referred to as a Model 3 the whole video.
Sure, many people did. I never claimed no one would buy a car without stalks, either, but there were plenty of people who didn’t so they started offering the choice. It turned out when people had the choice very few people actually wanted the yoke and now the wheel is standard and the yoke is an extra $1000. Yeah, some people are daft enough to pay $1000 for an inferior control, but to each their own.No one bought cars with the yoke? Might want to check the sales data. There was a desire for either option but there are plenty of people very happy with a yoke and no stalks, myself included.
What I am saying is, we don’t know whether they were comparing the Long Range Highlander to the old Model 3 RWD or LR...It is a Model 3, but the very first time it was referred to as the Highlander.
