Tesla removed the shift stalks from X and Y models in 2021 in favor of the car guessing which direction you want to go, with the option to override on the touchscreen.

...what? What in the hell is going on at that place!? That is so fucking stupid and dangerous.

Hahahahahaha what the actual fuck for real.

Musk: "Trust my car, bro" Car: goes in reverse instead of forward

“We’re so confident in our self driving tech we removed the steering wheel”

Dont worry, there's an emergency override in the trunk

Imma need that 10 minute James May video to show me how to get to it.

yea this is quite the absurd design decision.

Billionaire do without consequence. US nothing. Iz nao.

Give me the touchscreen gear shift. It's not that hard, and I'd rather not have the extra physical object in the car.
