WHY TESLA'S NEW CONTROL MECHANISMS AREN'T AS STRANGE AS YOU THINK

EV Channels Review

The Transport Evolved video delves into the unconventional control mechanisms of Tesla's refreshed Model S and Model X, specifically the yoke steering wheel, capacitive touch buttons for indicators, lights, and wipers, and the automatic gear selection. While acknowledging the initial apprehension and potential learning curve for drivers accustomed to traditional controls, the presenter argues that these changes are not as unusual as they might seem when viewed in the historical context of automotive innovation. The video highlights the advantages of reduced complexity and potential for software updates, while also noting the disadvantages of a potentially unintuitive interface for some users. The reviewer expresses personal reservations about the automatic gear selection but ultimately concludes that, like past innovations, drivers will adapt to Tesla's new approach, even if the necessity of some changes is debatable.
