Cruise Control-Wiper Confusion

[Haxster]

How many times have you turned the wipers on when trying to adjust the following distance for the Traffic Aware Cruise Control?

After six months, I still keep doing it. I hope that I'm not the only one.

I said never, because I never adjust following distance. Now if you had asked how often I turn on the TACC when I meant to put on the turn signal, the answer would be different.

The stalks are different lengths and positions. That being said, once I've tried to put on the single wipe and accidentally put on the e-brake.

Sometimes I long for the good old days: A single stalk. No buttons, No dials. No twists, No push. No pull. No slides. Just a simple turn signal.

Model 3 I believe is like this.

More than that, I've frequently done these two:
- Try to put turn signal on, but instead resumed cruise control and shocked as the car starts accelerating as I coast/regen-brake approaching a turn
- On my other cars, turning on wipers, thinking I'm shifting into D (habit from being in the MS too long)

I DID finally get used to the Tesla gear shift UP being reverse and DOWN being forward.

I’ve had my model S for 3 months and I still do this occasionally, but the thing that kept getting me right after I got the car was the fact that I kept putting the car into neutral when I intended to turn on the wipers. My old car had the wiper stalk where the gear shift is on my Tesla. Luckily time and the fact that I have auto wipers turned on now has helped resolve that issue.

I certainly had some confusion between the wiper/blinker and CC stalks at first, but that was because I was not used to having two stalks on that side. I had either a Toyota or Lexus as my primary car for over 20 years, so it took some doing to adjust to having the CC on the left bottom, rather than the right.

I think I pretty much almost have it mostly figured out, now.
