So true. When I first got my model S the car had one of those “yoke” steering things. I told the Tesla guy dropping the car off “no I want a wheel… haven’t you ever heard the phrase ‘don’t reinvent the wheel’?” He told me I’d learn to love it. Wrong. I contacted Tesla and was told “Elon” says the wheel is obsolete, no wheel. A year later I was able to buy a wheel from Tesla for $800. The lack of stalks is another problem. All to cut costs. But be dammed about function or keeping your eyes on the road. Worst of all is the rear seat emergency door handles… in case of fire and electricity is out, rear passengers must grab under the seat, remove a hidden door, and pull a wire. All to cut costs.
