Elon: "Yoke is better because a round steering wheel blocks the dashboard instruments"
I’m super excited for the yoke wheel. It truly has been pretty easy driving around pretending I have yoke wheel while driving with traditional steering wheel. My opinion has not wavered yet. Still trying to find a negative and so far, none. I’m really wondering why this has never happened sooner. So, to be really fair, I feel the yoke wheel is just going to be safer and be much more relaxed and is going to be a complement to the drivers experience.
I saw 279 kph displayed on the cars speedometer- which is 173 mph. The auxiliary instrumentation read 269 kph which is about 3%-4% slower (it was also slightly faster to react to speed changes). This means we can't expect a big jump under the assumption the car was top speed limited. But I wouldn't be surprised to see a driver who is willing to push harder shave 5-6 seconds off that time but that comes with increasing risk of a fatal accident which I would prefer to see avoided.
