Like it. The current design blocks the "instrument" cluster.

That yoke style wheel is going to suck for long trips, parking lots, and (on the CT) for any off-roading.

That screen set-up sure looks familiar to something i have seen for the past two years . . . but i can't quite put my finger on it.

Yep. They need to offer a traditional steering wheel. One-hand at the top of the wheel is a common use case when driving.

Not to mention hand-over-hand turning which would be tough with that thing.

Are they slowing down charging and need to give people something to spend their time on when waiting????

Hand over hand? Aren't Teslas are so good at self-driving that you don't need any hands on the steering wheel at all. :rolleyes:

Honestly, I don’t see how that steering wheel could be legal, everything else looks great.

I can’t afford either with the R1T purchase, but I would still get the Lucid Air over the S even with the update. I just like the look of the Air more and I can’t pinpoint why.

I’m with you there. The Lucid Air interior is beautiful, and matches the S Class in my opinion.

I do agree that these new wheel options are sharp!

However, the fact that Tesla is charging $4500 for their 21" wheel upgrade (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are great tires though) on the Model S makes me feel slightly better about the Rivian $3500 upgrade for the 20"/22" Dark Wheels...

...Slightly....
