Speaking of Tesla, see the new steering wheel for the Model S?

Seems to be an illustration. Wondering if it will actually make it to production though...

The rest of the interior refresh looks decent. I assume the X will get this interior also -- although that might not be for a few more months.

Edit -- new interior is also for the X... Similar pic in the Y configurator, but with the Y's much taller windshield visible (the darker interior...)

Ha- they've gone full knight rider! I think the usability of that wheel would be poor in practice so I kinda doubt that will make it to production.

More pics are coming out.



Apparently there are no turn signal or wiper stalks... Those become capacitative touch sensors.

Could be very bad... or very good...

For the love of fuck that's stupid.

No one in California wears gloves while driving, I guess.

I can't wait to see how he squeals when they're sued for ADA and discrimination violations. And be so disappointed to see the fanbois defend it.

Thought these were was just 3rd party renderings but realized that these interior pics are actually on Tesla's configurator. Wow. Definitely going to be "popcorn time" on the tesla forums.

Didn't it just snow down there? I think Austin has had more snow the past 2 years than DC.
