A lot of it is what you're used to I guess. However we switched the office to Apple from Android on the last 'phone updates a couple of years back - all but two of them want their Android back. I'll need to find out why at some point I suppose. But then I still use the Blackberry hub overlay on Android for all my messaging and emails as I haven't found anything close to match it for efficiency. Right no more about bloody 'phones
I thought I am the only one in UK uses that blackberry hub overlay, I am delighted to know I have a companion.
. I guess it’s not going to be a big issues for most of us. And if? Plenty of other cars.

Maybe your right and young 20 somethings will pick it up no problems. The catch is most of them cannot afford a Tesla and certainly might not be able to insure it even if they could. It's us older folks that can buy the cars new who are more their target market.Cost savings, reduction in materials thus greener maybe. Other than that, I certainly would not consider it an upgrade. More of a revolution other than evolution.
It clearly works for some but not for others even if it's just a self applied logic. Needless to say that the subject of indicators has always been a topic even before Tesla existed.
Its a certainty that the highland will sell over here and going forward, it would be a sad thing to see people come around here and be mocked for buying it.
Some people still think that an automatic car is rubbish or not a "real car" but this is more a thing of a certain age, following or just how they learned how to drive.
I suspect this will be harder for the instructors than for the pupils. A bit like a car driving instructor trying to teach someone how to ride a motorbike when he/herself does not know how to
That's a nice but small drop. I've been watching BMW as their rates expired on their PCP deals on the second and looks like a good few models have dropped 2% APR now. Think partly down to lower demand where as for now Tesla doesn't yet need to pump up Highland demand. Give it 1 or 2 quarters and they might be pushing them end of quarter for 2.9 to 4.9% levels maybe.
I have both, like to keep a rounded view. Have a Fold 5 and 15 Pro Max. I do enjoy the Fold and parts of Android but as an all round package, iOS still tops it.
Agreed. A lot of the dissent is really "muscle memory" complaints. If we'd had buttons all along and Tesla introduced the stick there would be just as many complaints. However, that aside I do wonder about the design from a usability standpoint. The stick is always in the same location in the car, whereas the buttons on the wheel change position with the wheel. I'm sure when the car is going straight ahead the buttons are fine, but when the wheel is turned 90 degrees? Not so sure. And if you follow the recommended "ten-to-two" hand position then you are going to have to move AWAY from that to fumble for the buttons, which seems to be a potential safety issue.
So this is confusing. You start by saying that the complaints are because people aren’t used to it but then agree with us that it is potentially not as good a solution. I’d say most people hanging out on a Tesla forum and have a Tesla are probably quite fine with trying something quirky and different.
No I was saying a lot of the complaints are noise, but not necessarily all of them. As for Tesla owners being ok with quirky, look at the complaints about M3/Y speedometer not being in front of the driver!
I never got this either, I adapted quite quickly and actually it's in your peripheral vision most of the time anyway. People moan about "having to look away from the road" but unless you have a HUD then you do for a normal Speedo anyway... It just about training your eyes to look diagonally rather than straight down.As for Tesla owners being ok with quirky, look at the complaints about M3/Y speedometer not being in front of the driver!
I can't see the indicators being much issue there. As you approach down Eastchurch you don't need to indicate at all for an exit that's straight ahead, then once you are past the first exit it's more or less a straight road up to the mini roundabout as Fagg Road to apply your left indicator. You are certainly not going to need to get anywhere near an inverted wheel.
