Consumer Description
Center steering wheel horn is not included on these vehicles, which should be considered a significant safety issue as we are trained from a young age to hit the center of the steering wheel/yoke in the event of an imminent accident. I was recently driving when another vehicle ran a stop sign, and I was barely able to avoid them; however, when hitting the "horn" to alert the other driver, it didn't work as the horn button is not in a typical location. This should be considered a significant safety risk. Elon Musk himself indicated a software update would fix this issue; however, it has not. Tesla now indicates it requires a new wheel/yoke and has not yet made it available or covered under warranty.
