Title: Tesla Cybertruck production pegged for June with yoke steering wheel and scratch-resistant finish
Post by: Redaktion on January 15, 2023, 19:17:50
The controversial yoke steering wheel that Tesla now gives as an option for the Model X and Model S, instead of forcing it on customers, may transfer over to the Cybertruck as well. When Tesla's electric pickup launches in June or July, yoke steering will 'make sense,' claims Tesla's head of design.

I really really hope they let you order it with a regular steering wheel. Yoke is just a problematic and asking for trouble.

Much like removing all but one display from the model. 3, I really just don't see the reason to remove the heads up display. When full self-driving is fully 100% complete and always works then you can start getting rid of displays.

Agree with the round steering wheel comment. I drove the S with the new wheel - and I found it cumbersome. I don't see reason to "reinwent the wheel". Can't wait to drive the truck.

Interested to know about towing options. With the structural battery pack and frame casting can it be fitted with a 5th wheel hitch to compete with Ford?
