It reminds me of Tesla removing turn signal stalks from their cars because they're going to be self-driving real soon so why waste money on unnecessary controls? And then we're still years away from full self-driving and a bunch of human drivers are struggling with ridiculous capacitative touch sensors for their turn signals.

This is the sort of thing that happens when you refuse objectivity and spend all your time getting high on your own farts.

“Human drivers are struggling”

Yet teslas are still selling like hot cakes. If there were actual humans struggling we’d see an obvious decrease in sales.

They brought back the stalk in the new Model Y, so they seem to agree with my assessment. A product can still be successful even if there’s something bad about it. I don’t like the capacitive turn signal buttons at all but it wouldn’t have stopped me from buying a Tesla.
