This "designed for the US" is beginning to get old. Roundabouts may be less common but the equivalent (traffic circles they call them) do exist and are becoming increasingly more common in the USA. Ferrari has had indicator buttons on the steering wheel for quite some time now, so it is not a completely novel idea.
Sold my 458 for the step up to my Mac - but the Fezza indicator buttons were on either side of the wheel so a lot easier to deal with....
Why is it getting old? They have far less of them and also their roads do not tend to be nearly as sharp on bends or turns often so they just won't have the wheel / yoke turned as far. Add in that they now get FSD Beta so for people with access to that the car will be handling it more.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Understand that. It's not a great idea regardless of the location to be honest. I just feel in the little country routes I often go down it'll be an utter pain to try to hit when I cannot keep my hands on the wheel in the same place like you might on a track because I'd not make the turn. So then you are feeding a wheel through your hands and are going to easily lose track of where the turn buttons are by that point.
Tesla don’t even tell their own employees what will happen the next day. What makes you think they’re going to forewarn lease companies months in advance. It’s not Ford or Toyota.
Yeah understood but also they could be missing out on more pre-orders without allowing people to order on company salary sacrifice schemes, etc. Their approach was fine when demand hugely outpaced supply but now they are going to have to change their approach a bit. Maybe even start with some marketing.
