> Or is the yoke on a Tesla so sensitive that you don't turn it far enough round for it to be an issue?

That seems to be the intended direction longer term. Cybertruck is designed with drive by wire and very sensitive steering at low speed. I have some doubts about it, but if it works well, it may eventually end up in the other cars too.



Hah, that is definitely not the short term result.

The yoke is upside down every drive for me. Just getting out of the driveway it's going to be upside down.

The yoke is fine doing extreme turns, my hands find it and I can turn it all ways very quickly multiple turns. I'm not concerned of “extreme situations” or anything like that.

But when I want to "blink right" it's a real fucking problem to figure out where exactly on the yoke I should exert sufficient pressure. Unless the yoke is upright and I'm “holding it right”; as it were :)


It is like everything else with Tesla. They add the wrong part of the solution first.

Hey, we have this new vision based TACC! But first... we remove the radar, then later we'll make that actually work. Get used to phantom braking and limited features in the mean time.

The CT drive by wire approach should solve your problems, but it remains to be seen if it actually works well. The reviewers so far haven't really gone in depth on its feel.


I guess this only affects you if want to signal after you’re already in a turn?


Like when exiting a roundabout? I have at least one almost everywhere I go…


Must be very tight roundabouts to induce a large rotation of the wheel! I’m used to roundabouts where you only have to turn the wheel slightly, but maybe your locale differs.
