Do you feel like you’re happy with your model s given the issues/compromises of the yoke you mentioned above? The industry wide reduction of real buttons/switches and gauges is something that gives me pause on my next car purchase. I was initially thinking of getting a golf r but the infotainment and steering wheel capacitive buttons are almost universally criticized as really bad and there not being any real way to fix it. When I saw the yoke I thought it was a concept car and they would come to their senses and use a wheel for production. My wish list for an electric car:
1) be a dumb car. Minimal screens/animations/annoyances
2) if you do OTA updates I want to be able to reject a version and or revert to any version from any other version of the system software
3) don’t track me or show me ads
4) no feature on the car should require additional or recurring payments to use with very limited exceptions (thinking navigation updates etc) specifically don’t disable something on my car because I don’t pay future moneys for its use.
5) I’m fine with fast but I would rather have a reasonably quick car that pushes 400miles of range without needing a 200kwh battery. I get that big motors also help make big regenerative power but I would like a car that has similar performance to say an Audi s4 or bmw 340m but electric.
6) simple is fine but the model 3 is oversimplified. they really can’t put simple gauges in front of the driver? I feel like every feature of most teslas is built for this looming full self driving where some of these features make more sense. I think the odds today are pretty good that someone who takes delivery today of a new Tesla will send it to the junkyard before fsd really fully self drives.
7) don’t try to drive for me and allow tweaking of things like brake /steering feel, suspension settings. |
