Just in, the new MCU3 is going to mine crypto currency for Elon as you drive.
AND will allow the driver to simulate the experience of smoking cannabis with Joe Rogan.
(Wait, what?)

Most likely no.Would that offer a suitable simulation?
This makes perfect sense. Thank you for this explanation.Most likely no.
The new steering might go 90 degrees to the left and to the right, from full lock to full lock. Maybe a bit more. To be convenient, we expect it to be variable, somehow, and adjusting for speed.
So a normal wheel will have to be turned much further, and you are MORE likely to move your hands. Your suggestion might work at highway speed, where you never turn 90 degrees. It will not work for parking, as the steering action will be quite different.

If the above-mentioned theory was actually implemented, it would seem to be "by wire", meaning electronic, allowing for a computer to create an adaptive steering approach. Elon has always tried to "reinvent the wheel". I guess this time he means it.... assuming they can pull this off and it still feels natural, otherwise folks will hate it.
I bet it's going to be normal, just no top part of the wheel. No reason to get crazy.
I'm a bit more curious to see whether it's steer by wire or traditional linkage.
This would be a tremendous difficult things to get certified. Mechanical linkages are always available and don’t require any power or computers to operate, even if a bit degraded. Steer by wire would require significant redundancy to achieve similar reliability (redundant motors, dedicated power supplies, etc.) What would the benefit be? I’m not seeing one.If the above-mentioned theory was actually implemented, it would seem to be "by wire", meaning electronic, allowing for a computer to create an adaptive steering approach.

and don’t forget it has lots of buttonsI see Audi officially introduced the e-tron GT. It has the same price (RS version) range (roughly speaking) and acceleration (3.1s before my Ludicrous upgrade) but less passenger and cargo space and I think no autopilot compared with my six year old P85D, which I have an order to replace with Plaid+, which has about twice the horsepower. But my god the GT is a pretty car. And Audi probably has humans you can call in the service department too... Sigh
I have friends who work in the service departments of Audi, BMW, and some independent shops. My life would be a lot easier if I stayed with the big names, but I just can’t stay away from the bleeding edge tech, lol.And Audi probably has humans you can call in the service department too... Sigh
this is nothing but a standard steering wheel with the top cut off.
This would be a tremendous difficult things to get certified.
Awesome that the window is only 4 days away, I'm tired of all the speculation and can't wait to hear some things from people who have actually been in one of the new models!Tesla is contacting those who have pre-ordered the “Refreshed” versions of the Model X crossover, communicating that they should prepare for delivery between February 15th and March 15th.
Tesla contacts Model X 'Refresh' orderers with delivery date range
Hopefully that means test drives are also right around the corner.
