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.
I wonder how many of the crazy design “features” in those cars are just for his personal indulgence. Like the Model S plad wheel that looks like the yoke on 747 and which was completely unnecessary and was less usable than the standard wheel.
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.
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.

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 would be a reason to get a different car.” Sorry - old Airplane joke.
I mean its a fun “cool” thing if he had build like a 100 of them not take it into production.
