I own a Tesla. I’m not sure I will get another one if this change becomes the norm for its vehicles. The tactile feel of the stalks that also don’t require taking eyes off the road are there for a reason across automotive manufacturers.

Can only agree. I'm on my second Tesla but I highly doubt it's going to be a third.

Elons megalomaniac behavior in general and desicions on stuff like this and the yoke is driving me away from the brand.

Near perfect safety rating? Somebody better back that claim up

Conveniently, there are links within the third and fourth sentences of the article itself:

We previously reported on the Model Y acing its safety test with NHTSA and achieving the highest possible IIHS safety rating.

The electric vehicle also got the top safety score from Euro NCAP and Australia’s ANCAP.

We wll hate Elon, but Tesla actually make very safe cars. Hating Elon doesn't change that.

can you imagine how big that number would be if it was www.toyotasdeaths.com
