I'm target demo for a Tesla. Upper middle class techie. My next car will be an EV and I actually like Teslas. I like a lot of things about them but I will absolutely not buy one while Elon is in charge of the company. Fuck that guy. He's not getting any of my money.

Ditto. I have 3 requirements above the current cars though:

  • Better range
  • more physical controls, everything that isn't media or GPs needs physical buttons
  • Elon must not profit

Add "real steering wheel" to that cause that futuristic airliner yoke shit would absolutely kill me the first time I try to cross over to turn.

I won't buy Tesla but to be fair, the yoke in the cybertruck is one of the few things that every reviewer says works great. There's no crossover turn, the wheel maxes out well before then so you keep your grip as it is. Instead, the turn input is progressive depending on how much you turn the yoke and dynamic depending on how fast you're going. They say in practice, it quickly feels very natural.
