While you’ve repeatedly posted this in multiple threads it doesn’t change the fact that not everyone is as bothered as you and as crazy as it can seem not everyone has to agree with you. If training you to Not have your hand on the Explosive air bag is difficult for you to overcome this might not be the car for you?
Yes, of course.
YES, having the center pad/air bag as a horn location is SO dangerous that the NHTSA has recalled all 99.9% of the cars on the road for this dangerous problem . . . NOT.
It’s the Highland Model 3 update that has the horn still remaining on the airbag.
It wasn't one of his vague promises like "we will have in them installed in 2 months" it was "all cars have the hardware since Nov 2021 and he said that I think in May 2022". It was a definitive statement that was never corrected. And apparently they still haven't accomplished 2 years later almost.
Well, gee, that's a pretty old photograph, perhaps from the 80's. I wonder why this clever idea never caught on . . . .
I know throughout history the horn has been in different places but if you randomly sampled 100 cars in a parking lot, how many would not have the horn in the center?
I believe you’re correct that’s not mandated to be in the center. Maybe I’ll get used to it. Hopefully get my car soon so we will see. Or maybe there will be a retrofit or Tesla will actually deliver on Elon’s promise of a software update (assuming hardware is there now).
Thanks. The hand over the side will be easier to find quickly so glad they added that. But the fact they added that takes away from the argument here than some are saying the tiny button is perfect and people should just get over it. Otherwise, no need to add that feature. Or the fact that people are putting 20 cent plastic dots on a $80,000+ car so they can find the horn.
That is not a feature that was added. The capacitive button is not bigger for hands, it is only the size of a thumb. However, that small area can be activated by using a thumb or a whole hand.
I understand that. I believe when if first came out, you had to touch just the small button. They released a software update later where you could put your hand over the general area, correct? That's an admission right there what they did at first wasn't ideal.
Understand and agree with you. The fact there is an aftermarket for those buttons should tell Tesla something right there. And the fact they backtracked on the Model 3 and I believe the Cybertruck on the horn placement at least is another admission their implementation wasnt' great.
