Consumer Description

1) low-speed turning is very difficult. makes hitting pedestrians/curbs/edifices much more likely, as well as just holding up traffic and frustrating other drivers. 2) turn signals require looking down at the steering yoke unless you're a real ninja. even if you get the hang of them without looking down, it's too easy to make a mistake. also i've noticed that when i'm trying to use the left signal, the terrible haptic faceplate will sometimes activate the right turn signal. when this happens in traffic at speed on the highway it can cause accidents. 3) horn is a haptic region that you have to look for to activate. i think this is being addressed but it's not sufficient to recall just to replace the current version with one with a normal horn in the middle. the entire thing needs to be replaced with a wheel and turn signal stalk. Elon Musk might be a genius but he has no business running an ongoing car company.
