Yeah round wheels are not a fuckin style choice. It’s so you can grab it anywhere in any situation. This steering wheel looks fuckin deadly

    They are the worst drivers by infractions. Dead wheel is a culling tool.

    You can’t even grab 10:00 and 2:00 on it. Looks like the closest you can get is 4:00 and 8:00

    The only way a yoke would make sense is if it was drive by wire and could vary the ratio of the wheel dynamically depending on speed.

    Oh, I think I would hate that. Variable turning seems so bad for intuition to me.

    If poorly executed yes. If done right it may be really awesome. Just like your steering gets stiffer at higher speeds. But obviously I never tried it (although I bet you could rig a simulator to test that theory)

    It’s a yoke because top tier race cars use yokes and Elon thinks his teslas are that for some reason. Completely disregarding all the setup and engineering race cars have that make a yoke the more viable option than a wheel…
