Damn this thing pushes hard. I thought the Model S LR loaner I got pushed hard already. But this is something else. It's not much different than being in a roller coaster when one floors it.
Did you get it with the yolk or the regular wheel?

Gone with the Yoke. I like the visibility expansion that it gives.

RX's start at over $60k now, must've been a while ago when they started at $50k. $50K is more base NX territory nowadays.

Does it feel like a boat, I recall the 17 loaner I had drove like a boat and the seats were very hard and uncomfortable. I guess this all should be fixed with the update

Comparing to my 16, it felt more agile. Probably something to do with the fact that it has so much more power pushing roughly the same weight.

The way my older son summarized the acceleration: "Dad, I think my internal organs just got pushed back to the seats". It's an acceleration unlike anything I've experience comparing say to exotics I've driven before.

Powerful ICE cars pushes you, but in a step that allows your body to go step by step in a very short period of time. The Plaid just pushes everything at once in a snap.

Oops, just realized it's a reference to starship speeds in Spaceballs! Clearly I am not familiar with the pop-culture associated with Tesla vehicles.

Just because the majority of steering wheels are designed in a particular way doesn't mean that's THE way to do it.

^ I can see the benefits of the yolk, but it's also not a great choice for a crowded city center. There's a reason most race cars don't have round wheels anymore because they don't need the top bit of the wheel. Alas this is not a race car. It's fine if you are on the highway 99% of the time, but around the city it's gonna take some getting used to, be inconvenient, or dangerous when you need to make evasive action.

@GLOW I believe the regular wheel is a no cost option now.

Yonk!

as an avid flight simulator, I must say yokes are excellent for flying....
Not sure why it Elon put it in a car, but at least its different must be after he had that joe rogan interview and he smoked some heavy shit

Also not sure why Lexus decided to follow in on this madness with the RZ yokel

I drove my friends yoke it's not bad, the extra visibility is pretty nice and makes the cabin feel even more spacious.
