Consumer Description

The Tesla Model X uses a small capacitive touch horn button which is impossible to locate and press in an emergency. I was driving and was about to be hit by a drifting vehicle and nowhere to move. I tried to honk the horn, but could not find it since it is not a normal center horn. Almost collided with the other vehicle. This design is extremely dangerous and should have never been allowed. It should be recalled before it causes injuries or deaths.
