ever new tesla feature i find out about sounds like something i'd think was edgy and groundbreaking after getting absolutely blazed and brainstorming with the homies, minus the part where we eventually sober up and realize all our ideas were terrible.
This would be an entire “no go” for a vehicle here in Northern, Minnesota. I need to have the ability to be able to rock a vehicle back and forth if I get stuck in snow.
Plus the sheer amount of lakes. Like. Driving up from twin cities to Bemidji I can think of SEVERAL areas where having confusing swipe controls for switching gears could easily lead to that tesla becoming an overpriced coffin.
the most batshit thing to me (besides the doors of death) is how they just replaced the steering wheel with a yoke but it still turns like a normie steering wheel, and then lexus made a drive-by-wire system with a functional yoke that adjust steering angle based on current speed like 2 years later
What would drive me crazy are the turn signal controls that, instead of the industry standard stalk, are just buttons on the steering wheel. Sorry fellow drivers, that is just not something I’m remapping at this point in my life.
I know, right?
Now there's giant screens to district you, and that's just normal vehicles.
This is what happens when a below average IQ thinks they're a genius.
"Let's rethink everything!!! I'm so smart!"
Meh.
In fact, this swipe gear change is remapped in reverse of a standard automatic shifting layout. D (ie forward motion) is pulled all the way back, and R is forward just before P.
So this swiping down for reverse is counterintuitive too!
When you wake up in the middle of the night from a dream that you think would make for a *really clever* movie plot – then fall asleep again till the morning when you realise that it makes absolutely no sense at all.
