Installed it myself. It's not that difficult actually! Took me about 45 minutes.
I'd think putting the "right" turn button on the right yoke, and the "left" turn button on the left yoke would be the most obvious, no?
I'm imaging a movie scene where there is a killer standing in front of the car... and another one standing behind the car. The driver, in a panic turns the car on and mashes on the gas to run the bad guy over and escape...
Tesla: I'm sorry Hal, I can't do that...
Driver: **Frantically paws at the screen to hit the override**
Driver: **Can't read the tiny size 2 font that Tesla seems to like so much**
Driver: **Gets murdered**
/ Just sayin'. Bad idea.
Reactionary is bad enough, but whiny reactionary goes straight to the NULL bucketAlthough Jalopnik

Why ?
Interesting post -- thanks.U wheels (and similar) are designed for race cars
Personally, having driven a few cars like this, these U wheels (and similar) are HORRIBLE to actually drive with. Sure, they turn up on those sleek "concept cars" and look all futuristic and exciting, but they dont work at all well unless you are an F1 or track driver.
Yeah, I've been waiting for the Model X refresh before selling my wife on the idea of getting it to replace her current vehicle, but with that steering wheel, I'm not sure I can make that sale...
But, maybe it will make used Model X's cheaper...
I'm in the same boat. My visceral reaction is that I don't like it, but to be honest, I also thought that about the Model 3 interior that I absolutely love now. I'd certainly be willing to give it a try.Interesting post -- thanks.
I'll venture to say that wheels made a lot of sense when they were mechanically linked to the wheels since they solved both leverage and turning radius problems. Electronic linkage gives the car designer room for other choices since leverage is irrelevant and turning radius can be solved with a weighted algorithm.
I don't know if I will like the Tesla approach, but I'll be happy to try it out.
The only concerning detail I've heard is from the MLB blog that pointed out that Tesla has done away with the gear selector. Now the car decides, and over-ride is via the center screen. To quote MLB: "I don't know about that, chief."
