Turn signal & horn moving to touch buttons on the wheel.. which move when you spin, is insane ergonomics
I got tired of how touch-centric the Model 3/Y was and saw the Model S/X as being slightly more traditional and then he goes and nerfs them too.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoCrazy how much Tesla can get away with. That's the power of Elon. He could convince the desert to buy sand.
- killingtime74 3y agoAs an aside, desert countries do buy sand for construction because desert sand is not very good for anything.
- dzhiurgis 3y agoBuyers doesn't seem to complain. In fact they seem to be call everyone else a luddite. Wonder why?
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoBuyers are too proud of their purchase to dare complain as that would undermine their purchase decision and get them made fun of.

- Kirby64 3y agoHorn is still on the airbag 'button' in all Tesla cars. They added the functionality back to the Model S ones that did not have it (apparently it needed some software update?).
- steveBK123 3y agoLOL yes, exactly... The initial software had only a small button.. they had to get customer complaints to revert to you know.. having the center of the wheel honk the horn. Why reinvent the wheel to make it so much worse?
- pests 3y ago> Turn signal & horn moving to touch buttons on the wheel.. which move when you spin, is insane ergonomics Car's back in the day would have the shift up/down levers on the wheel like racing cars do today. Same issue but people still managed.
- olddustytrail 3y agoDo you mean gear paddles? No they didn't. Unless you mean F1 cars in 1995. And 1995 is not "back in the day" anyway. It's not "back in the day" unless everything is in black and white!
- steveBK123 3y agoAlso gear shift paddles generally dont rotate with the wheel because they are attached to the column. But as you can see, any negative statements re: Tesla.. results in 2005 era Apple fanboy levels of self delusion and bargaining. I say this as a huge Apple fan and former Tesla owner (who might buy one again if the circumstances fit).
- Grazester 3y agoIt's a thing to attach those paddles shifters to the wheel now instead of the column. Manufacturers now think you will be changing gears mid corners when the wheel is turned and think you will have a hard time locating the paddles if they were on the column. Someone needs to tell them in racing that's not how it's done.
- steveBK123 3y agoPeople used to have horses instead of cars, people still managed.
- smilekzs 3y agoIf you're referring to column mounted prndl stalks, they don't turn with the wheel. Examples: Mercedes, older Model S, and lots of pickup trucks. If you're referring to paddle shifters, ironically Ferrari (of wheel-mounted indicator buttons fame) mounts them on the column instead (again, not turning with the wheel). IMHO both are fine for street and track usage because manual shifting is most likely triggered when the car is (almost) straight. However this assumption does not apply to turning indicator controls, which by definition are used when you are, uh, turning or about to turn!
