I recall folks vigorously questioning the thinking behind the large center screen subsuming many physical gauges and buttons in the Model 3. It was visually unusual and rather odd looking. Speculations included safety concerns about visual focus being shifted more often or more potential distractions navigating screens to adjust temperature, change music or pass gas. In the end, the 3 and Y are gaining market share quickly, and those concerns did not spell the demise of the vehicle. This seems like a similar design choice, different in more ways than just visual impact. I expect there will be the same two camps: Those who own the car and say it's easy to get used to, and, those who don't own the car and can't imagine why anyone would choose a yoke. In my view, ok, it's different, but I'm going to withhold judgement until I've put a few hundred miles on one. BTW, I am sure that part of Tesla's thinking is going to be that they expect humans to steer the car much less over the coming decade. Their goal has been to make the steering wheel superfluous for quite some time.
