Consumer Description
The 2023 Model X has a very small off center horn button unlike every other car I have ever owned which had the horn in the center airbag area. I have had several occasions where I needed to alert a driver trying to merge into my occupied lane and failed to do so because my muscle memory could not find the horn were it is expected to be. Even if I do remember that the horn is a tiny button on the "right" side of the steering wheel, the right side is in a random location based on your current position of the steering wheel making it almost impossible to find the button while turning the wheel to avoid it situation you are trying to alert. Tesla has since corrected this issue in the 2024 model but they should be forced to recall existing models with this poorly designed steering wheel and horn position. It is a major safety issue which can easily lead to accidents that could have been avoided.
