    if I was as rich as Elon, whether it’s my own companies tech or not, I’m having a paid human driver on hand at all times anyway

        Elon Musk has made Tesla part of his personality and is the public face of the company. He’s stupid on many levels, but I don’t think he’s this stupid.

            If it looks stupid, it was Elmo’s idea. There are articles about how engineers ran a shadow Cybertruck design since they hated the very concept and everything Musk suggested with a passion.

            They also recently removed the indicator stalks from the facelifted Model 3. For me that would be a reason to get a different car altogether.

            That’s just an option right? From what I understand it normally ships out with a regular steering wheel. (Not defending Musk, just trying to get things straight).

            If so, I wonder if some engineer used Jedi mind tricks and was like “Elon this idea is so cool, we should have people pay extra for it” to avoid the asinine wheel being shipped out standard.

            I mean its a fun “cool” thing if he had build like a 100 of them not take it into production.
