Bottom of horn won’t honk?

[jleonar1]

Taking in for service and one of the items on my list is horn won’t honk when pushing on bottom half of horn. They just called and said all Model Y's are like this that there are no sensors on bottom part of horn and you have to push top of horn. Here is picture. I just can’t believe this is possible that all Y’s have no sensors on lower part of horn. Please help me as I have appointment tomorrow at 8:15 AM. This would be a huge liability I think if they are designed so you can’t honk when pushing lower half of horn.

It’s true. No sound made when pushing bottom-half of steering wheel. Only top portion.

The bottom is where the airbag is. The top corners are therefore marked with the horn icon showing where the sensors are. I think this is normal and like most other new cars.

I'm not sure why this would be a problem for anyone. Can you please explain exactly why this is an issue for you?

I had the car for 3 months and first time I tried to use horn that’s where I pushed. No horn. Next time I’ll know but seems like if it pushes like a horn it should sound like a horn. Don’t care to to argue the point only wanted verification.

I wish they would let you make custom horn noises. I’d like to fart at people...

Wasn't arguing. Just asking why you thought there was a design issue.

They don't have Taco Bell where you live?

I feel like the horn button may be a business opportunity for whoever made the "open door" button decals before Tesla changed the button design. Maybe a more visible horn decal.

Yeah, Taco Bell does give me ammunition plenty, but, the issue is that being a frequently flyer, I’m afraid my ass no longer fits out the window, making farting at people difficult

Before they could put horns on airbags, cars had horn buttons. Tiny little buttons. Sometimes they were in a good spot, sometimes not.

The worst was when Ford put it in the left wiper stalk and you had to push in on the stalk.

So you were pushing well below the horn icon's and and you thought it should honk?

I've been an auto enthusiast for decades now, but Tesla owners take the cake, hands down, for the craziest posts and perceived problems.
