> A lot of Tesla vehicles feel like they value form over function.

As far as I can tell, that would be all of them. And if rumors are true, Tesla might be about to escalate that to the next level with their bread-and-butter cars. Brave, or stupid, ask in a year.

The 3 is the most functional car I've ever had. It's stripped away all of the repetitive and unnecessary stuff I had to do when I'd sit down in a car. Yes, it's made accessing buttons more difficult, but those are (personally) all buttons for things that I don't need to touch while I'm driving.

That said, I'm not sure I'd buy it again due to (effectively) political bullshit. And the choices for this semi do look like they're the opposite end of usability compared to the 3/Y.

What rumors are you talking about?

That they're going to put the yoke on the Model 3/Y and remove the gear stalk. Like they did on the Model S.

Afaik the rumour[0] is a Semi wheel[1], not a Model S wheel.

Would be surprised to see the yoke on TM3/Y, since the only purposes of that thing are to make TMS/X "cooler" and to make it easier to see the the display which TM3/Y lack.

Oh god. You can’t even turn that wheel all they way around to park, but hey! F1 is cool, and they don’t have a wheel.
