The steering wheeless vehicle will be called, “The Flaming Coffin.”

What could possibly go wrong?

“The CEO hinted that it might not even be equipped with a steering wheel.”

Wow, man. Cool.

[roadcat]

Even Johnny Cab left the human passenger with a means to drive away with steering!

How much will the charging stations cost and how much will electricians charge to install them?

[gitmo]

Will there be brake pedals?

[alloysteel]

No steering wheel. Okaaaaayyyy, how about at least providing a joystick or a tiller? Part of the security of driving a car is hugging that steering wheel and gripping it at the 4 and 8 position...

Which is no longer safe or wise with air-bag equipped vehicles. You have to hold the steering wheel at 2 and 10 position, or when the air bag deploys, it will tear the hide off the inside of your arms.

The steering wheel will be a $50,000 option.

Translation here is that Tesla will build a scaled back shrimp-mobile in China for the Chinese market. EVs are selling big in China. Chinese will accept such small cars because the Chinese are smaller than Americans. After a few years some cars might be exported to the US. No steering wheel and being autonomous is a load of BS put out there to create a buzz.

Building these cars in China, of course all exclusive Tesla tech will be hacked and stolen within three years.

Only 25K and people expect a steering wheel?

[GreenHornet]

The CEO hinted that it might not even be equipped with a steering wheel.

and this would be considered a selling point?

[Secret Agent Man]

This is why we end up with so many government regulations and laws.

“Lets make a car without a steering wheel.”

[Ben Hecks]

No steering wheel......probably a plus since there will be fewer obstructions to un-assing this thing when it catches on fire; just throw the Ken/Barbi remote out the window and go.

[Fresh Wind]

A “Chinese style” electric car.

That means a car that will only go where the CCP allows it go go.

[doorgunner69]

Might as well not be able to drive the damn thing, I would not buy one.

If I wanted to drive and electric golf kart, I would take up golf, at least those have steering wheels..

[Michael.SF.]

Here is a theme song they could use for their commercials. (if they could get the rights)

[Organic Panic]

A rudder maybe?

[Theoria]

$uck off!! Retirees and investment funds love China.

'The $25,000 Tesla electric car, which is often referred to as the “Tesla Model 2,” has been likened to a new electric hatchback that Tesla has been planning to produce at Gigafactory Shanghai in China and export globally.

Last year, Tesla announced plans to establish a new R&D center in China to build “a Chinese-style” electric car.'

Since the Chinese will be controlling most of the lithium mined in the world, how is Musk going to pull this off?

[BradyLS]

You enter the vehicle through the “suicide doors.”

[Mariner]

Oh, I’m sure these will sell like hotcakes./s

I’d like to see one navigate a parking garage.
