Amongst all of the upgrades in Tesla’s new Model S, the one that shocked us most was the replacement of a traditional, round steering wheel with a squatty rectangle yoke. And just like that the yoke began its journey toward the mainstream; within the year, other big automakers like Toyota had adopted the untraditional steering hardware, too.
Then Technoking Elon Musk went a step further, saying the yoke wouldn’t even be optional on the new Model S. The new Model X, too, would receive the mandatory yoke treatment.
