I had already watched MKBHD's
I had already watched MKBHD's review of the Tesla Model S Plaid prior to reading this article, I was just curious as to your take on his review.
As you said, it was by far a very positive review by Marques, but when he was speaking about the yoke steering wheel, he made a statement that you failed to mention that I 100% agree with.
He stated that people with 40+ years of driving experience will have a tough time using the yoke steering wheel because of the muscle memory of using a round steering wheel.
I can tell you that I am one of the what I am sure are MANY people who would like to buy a Tesla Model S Plaid but will NOT until/unless they offer the option of a round steering wheel!
This is just a case of Elon Musk getting stuck on the idea of something looking really cool and thus completely erring on the side of form over function! And the argument that you wouldn't be able to see the display panel behind with a round steering wheel is completely silly as I have been able to do this on EVERY SINGLE CAR THAT I HAVE EVER DRIVEN over the last 40 years!
