2022 MX yoke mystery button

[zeleznikja]

I'm probably going to look, and feel, like an idiot.... But what is the button on the right side of the yoke for that is above the scroll wheel. It looks like a cruise control icon. I've tried hitting it in every scenario I can think of and nothing.

The owner's manual states that it is an "identifier that is always illuminated to indicate that the right scroll wheel can be used with cruise control".

In car manual? I checked there and I didn't see anything referenced.

So I can't reach the horn button with my thumb so they can put a button there that doesn't even do anything?

It’s not a button…it’s essentially a label, an indicator showing what the right scroll wheel does.

Also, maybe this is there way of trying to tell us all to honk less. LOL.

It was the autopilot / ACC button. Until tesla fund out it was easy to activate it in roundabouts etc. So they used the scroll wheel instead. Sad but true

That makes way more sense.... Still dumb to waste the button then.

putting this "JK" BEFORE the note so as not to be taken seriously.

Sub in a passenger eject function?

That raises the question.... Can these buttons be changed in the future?

Of course. It’s software. It isn’t like each button is physically wired to a relay like in the old days.

I know the function of the buttons can be changed. I guess I was really wondering how changeable those buttons are. Could buttons be added/removed, could the icons be changed, ect. ?

Looks to me like other than choosing not to light them up that they couldn’t be changed.

Dang. I just looked closer (with the car off) and you are right... They don't look changeable. What a missed opportunity. Isn't that the whole point of going away from physical buttons?

Not sure where to ask this question, or where to look for the answer, but I will try here. Trying to get to the Easter Eggs but can't find my Tesla Logo on the top of the touch screen. My navigation screen covers everything so should I be selecting???

It depends on what you are looking for, but most of the “toys” are in the Toy Box, inside the app menu.
