CT Steering Wheel Replacement

I did not think the CT steering wheel would make it into production. But now it looks like it will make it given that the X and S both have it.

It’s going to be interesting to see how well it functions with the CT. I for one will be looking to the aftermarket to replace it. Although I do like the touch sensitive controls, and I think those should be able to swap over.

Anyone else considering a regular steering wheel?

Not me, and I am old.
If you noticed...the yoke steering wheel would fit into the dash if you could telescope it down. I think this is an intentional step by Tesla as cars go to FSD.
The steering wheel won't be seen or in the way, but can pop-out if FSD can't handle the situation(s) or you feel the need to drive...like through a boulder field.

Interesting, I’ll have to take a look at the pictures again.

I think I’ll like it and the F1 drivers don’t seem to have any issues. Can’t wait to try it anyway.

F1 drivers don't seem to have any issues driving 200 mph on a city street either yet would have serious issues taking their car off road or trying a k-turn.

I've read four or "article headlines that now mention what I thought..

I've now read four or five "articles" on what I posted.

Even if the design is to "prepare for the future" should you be putting a yoke steering wheel in a vehicle where it cannot retract into the dash? This is assuming that Tesla is not secretly planning to make that happen with the CT.
