Only five things left to make it complete:Oh totally agreed. I think this likely was originally planned, but fell behind schedule. So glad to see it! The car looks complete.
1) Hope we see that soon!
I’m not majorly concerned about point 3 in the USA. The setup as is will never fly in England, though, - or at the very least I’d be amazed if it does.1) Hope we see that soon!
2) That'll get better as time goes on, and especially after Fremont gets a good redesign for the new paint booth, etc..
3) The steering wheel option, maybe. But big maybe. It's going to be really hard to convince Elon to do this. He is very unlikely to budge. Especially since the yoke meets all NHTSA requirements and is actually safer in a crash because of the position it puts the driver's hands in. I'd give a <1% chance of this happening. Maybe for Cybertruck, but still unlikely. Possibly 5% chance there. And no way stalks are ever happening. They would complicate the production line far too much to be an option, and they definitely aren't going to be standard.
4) That I could see happening within maybe 24 months or so. Depends on if the 7 seat launches.
5) Yeah I hope we see that!
Yeah it does. Was confirmed mere days after the Plaid was revealed:
I still say this will cause issues, roundabouts etc.Yeah it does. Was confirmed mere days after the Plaid was revealed:
The yoke will have no problem in the EU or UK. NHTSA was the one we actually didn't know about for sure until cars started shipping.New Tesla ‘yoke’ steering wheel is legal in Europe and UK | Autocar
Department for Transport refers to UN/EC regulation that doesn't dictate shape or size of steering apparatuswww.autocar.co.uk
Well yeah, but it's not like we don't have roundabouts here.
No no. I mean usability-wise it will be a nightmare. So many tight roundabouts and you have to signal off them in the UK. You ever tried using the turn signals while the yoke is upside down or vertical? Not fun. Heck, I lose the signals if I have to make a right turn followed by an immediate left turn. It’s just not doable.Well yeah, but it's not like we don't have roundabouts here.
I was under the impression that you were talking from a legal standpoint. Sorry if I misunderstood.
Yep. And there’s never debates about steering wheels! At least, not until Yokey showed up.Yeah there's always a debate about the yoke lol!
Yeah there's always a debate about the yoke lol!
This thread got a bit quiet. Figured the yoke was an easy target.
I m afraid as soon as I unhold my order , I ll get matched with an old reject . Gotta unhold till 9th. Going to scroll though BMW website in case they match me with an old one
