Yokes will be fine - but only BECAUSE they can have variable ratios now.
Frankly, there are a lot of quirky design choices on a Tesla that make them unpleasant for me to drive:
- not being able to coast/disable regenerative braking
- the current implementation of the yoke and capacitive buttons outside the CT
- placing FSD/cruise on the shifter
I don't think these are "get used to it" things, I think they're actually worse UX for most people. I also think that Tesla implemented every single one as cost-cutting measures on a supposedly "luxury" car that's now falling further and further behind the competition.
