Yoke is an option now.
Tesla Model 3/Y to lose steering wheel stalks.
I'm interested to hear what you guys think about a stalkless car or if Fisker brought a stalkless Ocean? I know it would probably annoy me because the turn signals don't look like they're in an intuitive position.

I don't know what year Model Y I rented in Vancouver in April, but I found the rain sensing wipers to be bad. They were more frustrating than useful, so I just controlled the speed myself. I don't think I could ever find myself placing rain sensing wipers on a list of must haves. As long as I can see the road, I can see if it's raining, and how often I want the wipers to clear the windshield. I guess that's why we have options for a package to get them if we want them

they work well. It’s a must have for us because they adjust the wiping speed to the intensity of rain or rather the amount of water hitting the windshield. They are supposed to speed up with higher vehicle speeds and slow down with lower vehicle speeds and go to a very infrequent wipe when the vehicle is stopped at the same rain intensity.
Without rain-sending wipers, the speed of wiping is usually either too high or too low, and one has to constantly change the wiping speed, which is annoying and unnecessary. I’ve owned several vehicles with well implemented rain sensing wipers and then I owned a few without, and we always regretted not getting them.
However, the way that the Model Y / 3 implemented rain-sensing wipers is awful. And the wiper control is not even available via the stalk, so it’s infuriating as hell to drive my Model Y in the rain, as the wipers go ballistic during a light rain, making me want to immediately disable the rain-sensing feature and control them manually. But the manual control is on the screen, which is retarded altogether.
By the way, it seems that the rain-sensing desire gets improved with a software update but then gets broken again with another software update. At one point I thought the rain-sensing feature was made decent in the Model Y, but just the other day, my wipers were going crazy in a very light rain, so I had to to disable the rain-sensing wipers the other day.
That's what happens when you try to change things for the sake of changing them. Tesla doesn't use a regular rain sensor. They use the cameras with 'Deep Rain neural net'.I don't know what year Model Y I rented in Vancouver in April, but I found the rain sensing wipers to be bad.

It sucks.
