I got my new Plaid yesterday
I got my new Plaid yesterday evening and drove it 34 miles from pick up location to my home, then I had to maneuver it inside my garage. I find that the yoke is a big mistake and will soon force Tesla to provide a replacement with a round ordinary steering wheel. I am 60 years old, drive for 42 years and I must have more than 4,000,000 miles in my back (to pay for my studies in Europe I worked as taxi and small truck driver). The yoke steering did not offer me any advantage in any driving condition. It forced me to a 3-9 hold in the highway and the city, it did not give me the comfort of one hand driving, and I kept looking for a missing part of the steering wheel when I would turn in 90 degrees turns at slow speed, forget about trying to put the car in the garage where I could not turn and look back while holding the yoke. Airplanes have full aileron lock at 90 degrees turn, F1 cars never turn yoke more than 50 degrees and neither planes nor race cars make 120 or a 180 degree turns with a radius of 50 ft or back up in a parking spot. Plaid is a high end sedan to be driven in every possible condition, fast, slow, pleasure, business, going out Saturday nigtht and so on. Even monster power cars with astronomical costs, Bugatti, do not have yokes for steering. Tesla must give the option for replacement. And just for reference, my son drives a model 3 dual motor, my wife a model x and my daughter got my 2020 model s performance yesterday when I picked up the plaid. I am very prejudiced in favor of Tesla, not against. Yoke steering has nothing to do with this type of car and people will get hurt. The CEO has done incredible things for the world with his cars, spacecrafts, solar panels but with his amazing intelligence he must control his ego and realize that squaring the wheel was proven to be impossible back in 1882.
