7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I won’t drive the cybertruck or any of the other newer generation X’s and S’s since they all have yolks instead of steering wheels. A few years back I was rear-ended by a drunk driver on a highway. With about 1/2 second warning I suddenly found myself spinning 360 degrees across 3 lanes, and I was trying my best to steer out of it. I seriously doubt I would have been able to do that with a yoke. My hands likely would have missed as I tried to reposition them.
The yokes, like so many other “features” seem like nothing more than glitz that Musk demanded to differentiate Teslas from other cars. If an independent authority tests yokes vs. wheels in situations like that crash and finds the yokes are as good or better then I’d consider driving a car with one. But given Musk is now trying to kneecap things like NHTSA I’m most definitely not going to hold my breath.
Don't they also lack fucking door handles to get out in an emergency quickly? Tesla and genuinely shit made cars, from start to finish.
I just hate the fact that liberals helped boost his wealth by buying his shit.
Liberals purchasing vehicles didn't boost his wealth, stock speculation did that.
That speculation was fueled by liberals buying Teslas.
Let's take this in a different order without changing ideas presented:
That pushed correlation == causation by labeling environmentally concerned people and people who like a post-petrol system as liberals. Not an accurate overlap, and inherently a bad-faith comparison ...
... used to demonize 'liberals', whoever the fuck that villianized label means today
I'd assert no one on the planet said "I want Elon to be richer and so I will pay way more for this car" despite its - honestly when it had lidar - best positioning for one-day self-driving and raft of amazing features alongside those abjectly dumb decisions about door-handles and (now) frame concerns and other safety requirements.
I'd want to see some kind of justification to this accusation those mean librulz were conspiring primarily to make fElon richer .
Claiming this as a fact is just beggaring the question. And that's what I hate.
They do have emergency handles underneath some paneling, but the defacto way of opening is a (touch) button
It's not underneath anything, you pull up behind the handle in the door. It's mechanical, so you can always get out. Not that you'd want to get in one in the first place.
Wow, that's about the best argument for the traditional, time-tested wheel! How do the yolks even work, can you turn them more than 90°? Because if not, they'd have to function like a videogame controller, or have you risk losing your grip as the yolk moves out from under your grasp when you go hand-over-hand...
