Indeed one sacrifices certain luxuries over similarly priced vehicles when buying a Tesla—I made that trade-off happily when I chose a 2015 Model S 85D over ’comparable’ high-end sedans. But pretentiously contrarian, annoying, gimmicky controls with less safety and functionality didn’t need to be a mandatory part of the deal.To me, trying to use the screen while driving in traffic and/or on bumpy roads is an issue far more than anything the yoke does or does not do. So in that regard we agree, I just deal with it until something better comes along.
As to the average Jane/Joe, they probably are not dropping $100,000+. But in any event, one does make some sacrifices buying a Tesla over other similarly priced vehicles but you also gain many other features that are not available anywhere else at this time (yet).
