Consumer Description

Unable to locate the touch area for the horn in an emergency situation. A couple of times I had a vehicle backing into me, and could not find the horn. In an emergency situation, you need to keep your eyes on the object and not be looking around the steering column where to touch. After dark, it is totally impossible to find. I find it to be a significant safety concern. Now that Tesla is finally releasing ‘24 model X with the center horn I personally think Tesla should replace non-center horns/wheels at no charge if customer desires. Thank you for your assistance in this manner to create a recall.
