Ive is an overrated plonker and my first reaction is to wonder if all the serviceable components are glued in place.
Do you know why no one has ever put rotating switches on a steering wheel face before? Because it requires two fingers to operate the switches and thus taking your entire hand off the wheel. Those knobs and switches might as well be in the center console because it takes a similar amount of effort and diversion of attention to operate.
This looks like a car designed by someone who's never driven before. Did the early prototypes feature bubble domes before they were forced to tell Ive that won't work?
- VerifiedReports 5mo agoWow I didn't see that. Standard Ive incompetence. It's galling to see pompous, no-talent douchebags like Ive continually held out as some kind of innovator.
- nntwozz 5mo agoIve was great when Steve was there to tell him no.
- VerifiedReports 5mo agoI was there at that time, and Ive still sucked.
- PaulWaldman 5mo agoPorsche has a similar steering wheel mounted rotary switch. Traditionally it was on models optioned with the Sport Chrono package. They recently rolled it out to all new models over the past few years. https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/press-kits/taycan/Die-Driver-Experience-und-die-Connectivity.html#:~:text=On%20the%20multifunction%20Sports%20steering,configured%20according%20to%20personal%20preferences. https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/press-kits/taycan/Die-Driver...

That being said, there are F1 cars with rotating knobs on the steering wheel. Different category and all, but still worth it to point out.

- weezing 5mo agoAlways funny to read Americans talking about cars.
- sorenjan 5mo agoFerrari has had their manettino dial on the steering wheel since the F430 in 2004.
- samdixon 5mo agoKnobs on wheel, especially for the controls on this, are normal in performance vehicles.
- NetMageSCW 5mo agoAll F1 cars have multiple knobs on their steering wheels. Ferraris have had the manettino dial since 2004. Porsche has had it since at least 2016 for the Sport Chrono option.
