No, I didn’t copy and paste this article. Not practical when on one’s phone. Click the link and read the article. As John Lennon once sang, “It’s easy if you try.”

One uses drive-by-wire - something Tesla has avoided for regulatory reasons - to lower the lock to lock turning radius.

There is no evidence the Tesla version is a safety hazard. You should never be spinning the wheel at speed.

I admit I haven't read it, but (fill in the blank company) buys advertising and Tesla doesn't.

You've just always gotta play the "evidence" card, don't you?

There is one good thing about such articles - Mr. Musk doesn't care

Musk cares very much about safety. He cares very little about unsubstantiated claims made by random media outlets.

Agreed and non union as well.

Maybe it has something to do with NHTSA and 'MC' (More Corruption) - oh I'm sorry I meant 'MC' (Mary Louise "Missy" Cummings) - oh wait that's still 'MC' ...

(Even though currently I'm not a fan of yokes in general, but I'd have to try to be sure)

The article references two different articles published by CNET. The author states explicitly that the anti-Tesla yoke writer has a unhidden anti-Tesla/Musk bias, the pro-Lexus yoke author was more open-minded. People really should read the article, not just headline surf and opine.

As a rule, I don’t click on clickbait articles anti-Tesla articles (which this seems to be from the title). I get enough of that crap in my daily news consumption and don’t chase more of it so I can make more informed complaining.

If you’d put a short summary in your top post, it would have saved some confusion.

Haha I randomly read Johnna Ciders article just now (popped up on my google feed) and decided to read some of the comments.
I found you @Crissa lol

Crissa is not that uncommon a name/ nickname. Could be someone else.

Well, MedicalJMP implored us to read the article, so I did!

I still don't think it's a good article.
