MKBHD’s main complaint was Tesla literally reinvented the wheel. This means drivers have to retrain their muscle memory learned over years of using a circular steering wheel. According to MKBHD, the relearning process causes initial awkwardness when maneuvering the vehicle.
On top of this, MKBHD says the capacitive touch buttons on the steering wheel are what make the yoke steering wheel especially challenging.
In the new Model S and Model X capacitive touch buttons are used to control most day-to-day driving tasks such as turning on the vehicle lights, turn signal, and sounding the horn.
Since the buttons are not physical buttons, MKBHD has found himself having to look down for the most basic of tasks. On top of this, since the buttons are touch-sensitive, they get accidentally triggered when turning the steering wheel.
