Tesla’s new steering wheel raises further safety questions

The Consumer Reports test points to a number of oddities when using the new Tesla Model S steering wheel. Its new shape is a minor problem.


One of the most controversial innovations in the modernization of the Tesla Model S was its steering wheel, which completely resigned itself to traditional shapes and at first glance resembles a stick of older airliners. He might not mind so much with the promised start of autonomous proceedings, but so far he raises questions about security.

For example, the US NHTSA office, which deals with, among other things, car safety, announced in January that it would only address the safety of the new steering wheel directly with the car manufacturer. Colleagues from Consumer Reports magazine did it differently, bought their own new Tesla Model S and decided to try a new steering wheel for themselves. And the impressions are quite contradictory.
