Do you mean gear paddles? No they didn't. Unless you mean F1 cars in 1995.

And 1995 is not "back in the day" anyway. It's not "back in the day" unless everything is in black and white!

Also gear shift paddles generally dont rotate with the wheel because they are attached to the column.

But as you can see, any negative statements re: Tesla.. results in 2005 era Apple fanboy levels of self delusion and bargaining.

I say this as a huge Apple fan and former Tesla owner (who might buy one again if the circumstances fit).

It's a thing to attach those paddles shifters to the wheel now instead of the column. Manufacturers now think you will be changing gears mid corners when the wheel is turned and think you will have a hard time locating the paddles if they were on the column. Someone needs to tell them in racing that's not how it's done.
