Suicide knobs are so old school, but honestly, I just want a bigger steering wheel. Can't drive with my legs with the tiny rectangle.
The reason you can't steer with your knee is because the steering wheel is not round. Thank goodness for FSD. BTW, I like the shape of the steering wheel even though it can't be steered with my knee.

this is yet another reason why we NEED LaneKeep assist and standard. All CyberTrucks should have AtutoSteer beta at a minimum..

I'm certain a vendor somewhere is working on the CT themed knob...
No rotation needed for this FSD knob. Thrubolt with LV connection to incorporate heat function.
Top seller, no doubt.

I too missed being able to finish off that burger by driving with my knees for a moment.
Oh gosh yes. Before they implemented FSD in the truck, this was driving me up the wall. I think I drove with my knees more than my hands on any other car I've own.
Short story. Back in the military days mid 80's you would leave the ship in dungarees to get get ahead of the traffic. I remember racing down 64 in Virginia changing in the car while going from 80 down to 20 back up to 80, driving mostly with my knees. Yes, it was stupid but, we were all stupid in our 20's. Some live to tell about it.

Yes suicide knobs are for farm tractors.
Or Ineos Grenadier owners.

The SUV uses an old school recirculating ball steering box. I can’t think of another new vehicle that employs this agricultural steering box.
