You think he was confused about the very specific tweet he was reading and addressing?
You also think he is too smart to lie? Wow.

Like a politician except instead of a vote you support or not with your $.
I'll be honest--I was worried coming to this place because I thought all the members would be "Elon can do no wrong". I'm glad that didn't turn out to be the case (for the most part).
I'm not gonna say anything about Elon lying or being stupid. In fact, I heard his IQ was 160...
...probably just like my Tesla has a top speed of 200 (but not really), can go 0-60 in under 2 seconds (but not really), can go 396 miles on a charge (but not really), has a stalkless steering yoke which makes the car "the best car to drive" (but REALLY not really), etc. etc. I think it's called Tesla math?
But back on topic....I continue having a hard time driving this car around when I'm afraid people are going to drive into my lane on me (especially in a car this quiet). I know it takes at least a few extra seconds to find the horn in an emergency, and that's a HUGE time delay when you need to warn somebody quickly.

I don’t love the horn placement.
However, I don’t think it’s perceptibly quieter to the car next to you on the highway. Generally best to stagger and not drive alongside others if possible. If you’re really super concerned I guess you could practice driving with your thumb on the horn button.
In most cases those precious seconds are better spent avoiding a collision than informing the other driver they are in your path.
It's quieter than my other cars.
I actually don’t worry that much when I’m next to somebody—they can usually see me if I’m right next to them (not that I stay next to them or even in their blindspots). It’s when I’m passing a slower moving or stopped lane and somebody tries to dart out (or I can tell somebody is making the head movements that they’re going to switch lanes) that causes the anxiety.
When potential collisions happen in cases like this, I try to avoid the collision ahead while also trying to not slow down so fast as to cause me to be rear ended...and honk the horn, which is why it's nice to be able to honk the horn without thinking so I can spend my brain cycles on the former two actions (which I guess is the point I'm trying to make).

I’ve never given that scenario a second thought, more power to youIt's quieter than my other cars.

Can't we petition Sandy Munroe to disassemble a post-November wheel to see if there is any mechanism to act as a born as Elon claims?
Plenty of people with post-Nov builds have taken their airbag assemblies out. It takes 2 seconds to pop it off.
There is no horn module.

Perhaps Tesla can easily retrofit a version of a S3XY button in or underneath the airbag module. I was not aware of this aftermarket device and it's extensive programmability finding them useful for those who prefer physical buttons for important functions rather than the touchscreen etc

S3XY Buttons
The button free interior of your Model 3 & Y is simple, clean, and, very occasionally, a tad annoying! There's so much you can do via the screen, but sometimes, don't you wish you actually had a glovebox button? Or a button to quickly turn on all your interior lights? Well, want no more....we...

Without significant modification I do not believe the button would work underneath the airbag module. Since it's the airbag I wouldn't mess with it.
Instantly toggling the driving modes basically can be done already with your foot. Leave it in plaid and adjust your foot as necessary.. In my mind, more important and difficult is to switch between suspension settings while driving in traffic or at speed. Hopefully the buttons will have the capability soon but apparently do not have it to date.
I believe track mode can be entered with the button, which is nice, but aat this point, you still need to be in park to activate.

Correct. Elon lied about the center horn. He lies constantly, it’s one of his defining characteristics and definitely not ok.
Bringing this thread back from the dead...
The post November builds have an airbag that moves and depresses like a normal horn, I believe the early ones were hard as a rock, so theres something different.

They definitely have movement, for several revisions now, whereas the original did not. The feature hasn't been implemented though, which is more important.
