yalim, 13 Jan 2023I have been driving since 1995.yoke definitely cannot be used everywhere efficiently or safely... moreThat's still from a point of the Tesla Yoke, but a proper steer by wire Yoke acts entirely different ... more intelligent as it changes force and turning rate.

a round wheel does not obscure dashboard unless the dashbord is designed properly.tesla's fault was designing the dash for a yoke and not giving a round option.

Finally!
I mean Yoke is a good solution, but Teslas version is seriously badly implemented, Toyota/Lexus version at least is not a driver / SAFETY nightmare.
I hope they will stick with yoke and will simply fix it.

Good for them. Let Musk know that not all of his so-called "futuristic" idea ever make sense.
