Yeah, there's an outrageously strong fanboy/hater effect with everything to do with Tesla. It can be extraordinarily hard to tell when they've actually made a mistake against the cacophony of people who are merely screaming (again) about how terrible it is that they've done something DIFFERENT.

That said, as a Model Y owner: this wheel wouldn't have been my choice. Seems like the only real advantage is somewhat better visibility to the stuff on the dash and the driver screen (which the Y doesn't even have). We'll see if it catches on, if not they'll probably just back it out and offer a wheel as a service upgrade or something.
