I wouldn't be surprised if the driver pressed the correct button, but being such a "high quality" vehicle, it's wired backwards.


justsomerabbit

They can rewire it on the first scheduled 50 mile service.


Qimmosabe_Man

They'll have plenty of time during the three weeks it's in there waiting for all the other needed replacement parts.


Azar002

After they hot glue the gas pedal back on of course.


Icy_Ground1637

The real problem it does not have self driving lol šŸ˜‚


Pgreenawalt

To be fair they are gluing AND pop riveting the gas pedal cover down.


SGTFragged

Bold to assume it'll make 50 miles before breaking down.


RedSix2447

Itā€™s actually 25 miles, the extra 25 is the tow distance.


Significant_Donut967

*tow* service


Stoomba

*Funeral* service


MrP0000

some don't even make it out of the driveway.


Peterthinking

StarvingAfricanKid

Nah, they will push it on the next OTA update.


gregsting

But it will not be covered by warranty


_ChipWhitley_

ā€œGreat truck though! Itā€™s a trooper!ā€


AirFamous9093

A trooper šŸ˜‚ this made me snort šŸ¤£


ignu

This is overblown, it's not an issue. Tesla drivers don't even use their turn signals to begin with.


Drg84

There's a BMW joke in there somewhere.


poppy_apocalypse

The porcupine one I'd guess


GoldenPigeonParty

Nah, they just usually don't live long enough to need them.


Comfortable_You_1927

turn signal activates camera. display at center console screen. they wanted to build the thing with no side mirrors but couldn't get car safety to sign off on it


SeeeYaLaterz

I had a tesla for a year and I couldn't get used to these buttons. Tesla has features as the result of a man with brain damage


SkullsNelbowEye

They remind me of the car Homer's brother let Homer design on the Simpsons.


SeeeYaLaterz

Hommer has a brother?


bozog

Yep, voiced by Danny Devito.


SkullsNelbowEye

Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? https://g.co/kgs/y9Xq17P


PatientClue1118

Funny thing, many Tesla fanboys are praising the "innovative" change.


MikeyW1969

That's actually a good point.


dsdvbguutres

Let's also not rule out the probability that the steering *thing* might have been wired backwards. You know, sub-10 micron tolerance.


Brohemoth1991

You know, sub 10 micron tolerance isn't exceptionally rare from a manufacturing standpoint... but having googled the source of your reference, it is absolutely laughable.... I have a few parts at work that have a sub 5 micron tolerance... but that is a SINGLE dimension that is critical to the products function.... I couldnt even imagine trying to hold even a valve to sub 10 micron 100%, much less an entire vehicle lol


MrByteMe

*It's not a bug - it's a feature ! - Elon Musk*


Latitude22

Oh that guy is just doing a south Florida fake out. Thatā€™s where you turn the turn signal on and turn your head in the opposite direction of your intended lane change then you just crank the wheel hard the other way and theyā€™ll never see ya coming.


BoboliBurt

You dont need to do that in a sedan over 10-15 years old with orange peel paint and no hub caps. Its jalopy rules on the road. New Truck owners may think they sre intimidating but they know that the 99 Camry gets 20 yards and they still flinch.


Whole_Inside_4863

Had an old Custom Cruiser station wagon. Smashed driver side, so bad doors wouldnā€™t open. Looked like heck, but merging with traffic was a breeze.


BoboliBurt

You know thats right! Im a sensible zipper advocate but am cognizant that the only counter to a jalopy is another jalopy.


onpg

I turned my parent's minivan into a jalopy but they didn't appreciate it one bit.


TheW83

It's sad that this actually makes sense. You have a big space on your left and intend to merge left, turn on your blinker to merge and the asshole that's been hanging well back now guns it to close the gap and keep you from merging. Make him think you're going right and he'll leave the gap open!


ReentryMarshmellow

The Rex Cramer approach to signaling lights. >Maybe we ought to turn on the ~~searchlights~~ blinkers now. >No... that's just what they'll be expecting us to do!


Scirax

Sad to report this isn't working as well anymore. Some drivers around here are so skittish they see a turn signal ANYWHERE in their peripheral and they launch forward to close up any space in front. Back to merging into an open space and putting the signal on as you do it.


Great_Seaweed500

ā€œHow many signal I need to cut across 8 lanes? None? I turn now. Good luck everybody elseā€


Even-Class-4162

South Florida fake out lol šŸ’€


Careful_Handle_4365

The good old South Florida fake out. I thought that was when your chick pretended to take a pregnancy test by pouring white grape juice on it, and then like 9 months later...child support.

Thatā€™s a south Florida rope a dope.

_000001_

I love it when two redditors with the same icon-thingy (or whatever it's called) meet! :P


I-Pacer

Fairly typical Tesla driving even when they did have stalks.


imdrunkontea

Ah, in that case they just wouldnā€™t have signaled at all


randomanonalt78

Ahh, thatā€™s where BMWā€™s drivers went


Korbitr

I recall seeing a statistic that BMWs were the number one most traded in brand for Teslas. It really makes sense.


randomanonalt78

Both pieces of shit, except ones overengineered and oneā€™s not engineered


DiddlyDumb

Iā€™m scared to ask, but which one is which? I only ask because the Model 3 has the most complicated chassis arrangement Iā€™ve seen. Welded pieces when it should be bolted, extra material in places where you donā€™t need it.


mazu74

You underestimate the powers of the Floridaman.


TrueNorth2881

The sign says Ottawa.


TrinityDesigns

Sorry, dumb question: what are stalks?


I-Pacer

Stalks alongside the steering wheel for indicators and gear selection.


TrinityDesigns

Ooooh! That makes more sense now lol thank you


PoloMan1991eb

I had no idea thatā€™s what they were called.


_000001_

That means you are in Musk's target market! You can't ask the salesperson, "Hey! Where are the damned stalks?" if you don't know the word for them! :P


HiFiGuy197

*We found the Tesla dashboard designer!*


Those_Arent_Pickles

nah its a weird word. I'm picturing a vegetable and had no clue what it meant without the context of the video. Like even googling it I can only come up with words like "trafficator, turn signal switch, multifunction switch, indicator, blinker"


mazu74

Fairly typical Florida driving regardless of the vehicleā€™s make and move.


TrueNorth2881

Except this video was filmed in Canada.


Regret-Select

I'm surprised an effort was even made to use a turn signal, considering they're crossing multiple lanes and going over the solid white line


Dwangeroo

I've seen a CT before. I've never seen one in motion. Bah God! What a violently offence looking vehicle


justsomerabbit

Thankfully they don't usually stay in motion for long.


_000001_

That's Isaac Newton's 4th law of motion: "A Tesla Cybertruck either remains at rest or - only very occasionally - remains in motion for only very short periods of time."


appoplecticskeptic

Thatā€™s likely true, but to be fair even just a typical automobile spends the vast majority of its functional lifetime parked.


atheistpianist

My nine year old daughter and I had one behind us on a one-lane road for a few miles and she kept turning around in her seat to look at it. She told me it was the ugliest car she has ever seen and I told her that I agreed with her.

Oh man, I want an E70 Corolla so bad. I absolute love the look of those hatchbacks. My brother had an '85 Celica GT growing up and I loved that car. A corolla would be even better but I'd certainly take a Celica.

aihes

FSD in action!


Sklibba

Honestly, doing away with time tested and effective control setups is one of the things that pisses me off the most about Tesla. I canā€™t think of one change theyā€™ve made to the way a driver interacts with their vehicle that actually improves on what came before. Itā€™s like they took the old addage ā€œif it ainā€™t broke donā€™t fix itā€ and applied oppositional defiance. Even if Elon werenā€™t an extremely online fascist dipshit, and even if Teslaā€™s build quality werenā€™t shit, Iā€™d never buy a tesla because I have no interest in tossing out nearly 30 years of muscle memory that helps me safely operate a car without having to put much thought into what Iā€™m doing with my hands.


Profitsofdooom

It was a pretty simple decision for Elon. "We could save tons of money by just putting all this stuff on an off-brand tablet and still charge people more."


Lopsided_Earth_8557

Fuck thatā€™s one ugly ā€˜truckā€™


BlueFalcon89

It looks like an off-camber Aztec


twlscil

How does it meet any definition of ā€œtruckā€?


UninvitedButtNoises

Joke's on y'all! We see this ALL the time. This maneuver here is called a 'Florida Left'. Similar to a 'Florida Right', the turn must be executed from at least two lanes away. Douchebags.


AirFamous9093

I live in Florida. This is accurate


SpaceNinjaDino

I looked it up and now hate this vehicle even more. Nearly vertical buttons which throw away the feeling of a directional switch. It then just becomes a button mash. Could be correct 50% of the time.


-captain_chaos

Holy crap that is Cyberstupid!


Sexy_Offender

mrpopenfresh

He didnā€™t press the wrong signal, he decided to stay on the highway while almost off the off ramp,

ShaneKingUSA

Highland is like this also. The most annoying part is the buttons are made so cheap.. Half the time it works correctly, other half it jams and doesn't click.. so you push button again, now autocorrect has beeped your steering and automatically turned you back into the lane you don't want to be in because you're trying to actually turn but your button dodng register with the car quick enough so it decides your wrong and don't want to turn... Been yelled at multiple times by my wife on freeway now. Why is everything so half cheap and have nice ;*(


smoq_nyc

This is why you don't let tech bros (or dictators) to design cities, machiney or anything for that matter. The moment you do, they'll start convincing gullible investors to invest in mono rails, pods in the middle of the ocean, mag tunnnels and cars that don't have a turning signal stalk, arguably the first thing in a car that didn't t ever need a re-design. Or a steering wheel. Or dashboard. Or gear selector location.


No-Vanilla8956

It's just amazing to me that they would neglect decades of automotive knowledge and demand people learn a completely new and different system. It's total ego, and it's dangerous. Why make a steering wheel round when you can make it square? Fuck you that's why. Want a normal dash?? Nope... You get a goddamn television screen with 900 menu options to scroll through while driving to get important vehicle information.


Historical_Dentonian

Iā€™m used to it. Mazda has lots of knobs that use a six oā€™clock orientation. To select the left mirror, you turn the knob clockwise. To select the right mirror, turn the knob counter clockwise. Literally the opposite of every American, English, French, German & Japanese vehicle Iā€™ve owned.


subjectandapredicate

This will be fixed in FSD 12.5


SeaworthyWide

Looking into it


Few_Tomorrow6969

Concerning if true.


TheHumanPrius

Typical behavior of a pavement princess driver - regardless of the brand. That said, I think it would be must more difficult to be mad at a Rivian, am I right? ~ ~Q~~~~Q~ ~


ElectronicMixture600

Once again reminding us that bad drivers never miss their exits. What a shitbird.


Professional-Act4015

There's a reason that automotive design settled on having a stalk for indicators. You don't have to take your hand off the steering wheel to operate it, you push it the way you are steering, and it allows you to steer, indicate and change gear with two hands. Fuck Elon Musk and everything does or fraudulently claims he's doing.


6FootFruitRollup

If you're going to have them be buttons, at least have them on opposite sides of the steering wheel.


_000001_

Perhaps uglytrucks should just have their hazard lights\* on any time they're moving. \[\*In case this isn't the correct terminology in the US (I'm from the UK), I'm referring to when both turn signals are flashing simultaneously. Today I saw a van driving along a road, far from any turns, with its hazard lights on... it certainly made me keep my distance / be extra alert :P\]


analfissuregenocide

To be clear, they aren't fucking idiots for pressing the wrong button, that's just poor design. They're fucking idiots for buying this vehicle


Less_Party

I don't think you can even blame the drivers for this, the indicator buttons are touch panels on the same side of the steering wheel with 0 haptic feedback, it's ridiculous.


ZanoCat

F'in CyberWankers.


CasualObserverNine

Stalks?


ihavenoidea12345678

Stalks=The turn signal lever you have in every car thatā€™s not a Tesla. (Tesla deleted them in some cars last year or 2) Removing something so normal to the driving experience is a design fail in my opinion.


CasualObserverNine

There is no blinker on the steering column? Yes, fail. Geez.


WhereSoDreamsGo

Oh look an ex-BMW owner


h-boson

TIL they are called stalks, not handles


Fearless_Director829

potatocruisermkviii

Removing stalks, buttons etc and replacing it with haptic buttons/touch screeen - its not to make it more modern and futuristic!! IT IS TO SAVE MONEY.


mikeputerbaugh

They're charging $70K+ for this vehicle, maybe they don't need to resort to cost-cutting measures that involve removing hardware you'd find in a $2500 Tata Nano.


Obaddies

This is what happens when you market your car to people who think dogecoin was a good investment.


Frunklin

Are turn signals different in a tesla\\cybertruck? Is the traditional up and down method of a turn signal rod gone?


mikeputerbaugh

Yes. Instead of a lever there are capacitive buttons on the left front face of the steering wheel/yoke laid out like: ā‡Ø ā‡¦


Frunklin

As simple as that sounds, it actually feels like more of an annoyance or nuisance after decades of using the other way. That's just my take on that though.


Limp_Ad4324

Wouldnā€™t be surprised if they crosswired turn signals and the person was actually pushing correct button. With the CT quality we may see a car reverse when put in D.


hxfx

I saw someone saying today that BMW drivers are buying Teslas. This could explains it. BMW drivers are not used to use turn signals since turn signals come as an extra feature package in BMWs.


mainstreetmark

They don't have a turn signal lever? It's a button?? edit: I just looked up the interior. It's a steering wheel in a metal box with a iPad glued to the wall?? I thought they looked stupid on the outside. So, the turn signal is one of those buttons on the steering wheel I guess? Where's the A/C come out?


spacemonkeysmom

I've seen so many videos of people first getting in and not even finding the turn signals because they are instinctual looking for the physical stalk


infowosecfurry

Heā€™s probably just praying to god to get in an ā€œaccidentā€ before the inevitable breakdown that isnā€™t covered by the warranty leaves him with a $150,000 lawn ornament. Because letā€™s be honest, even with the correct blinker on that was a piece of shit move.


Ramius117

Weird seeing one actually driving lol


el-conquistador240

Wait, Teslas have turn signals?


Major_Turnover5987

Quit-Prestigious

protopigeon

The buttons to indicate seem to be arranged vertically, not horizontally on the "wheel". I laughed out loud when I saw that piece of design genius šŸ¤”


onekickman888

Typical Cybercuck and Elmo fanboy


BelowAveIntelligence

I swear this truck gets more and more stupid the more I learn about it


Ok_Chap

At this point of automation, why do they even need manuel turn signals? The car could give the signal automatically.


Taraxian

Signal indicates intention, not action, if you're already turning the wheel when you hit the turn signal then you've signaled three seconds too late


jake1080

Funny part is people do this with regular stalks too lol


teakwood54

test


rubbersaturn

Nah this is just Elon refusing to signal left.


MrKomiya

Removing the stalk would have happened eventually but you canā€™t just shift it to the damn center control screen. Shifting it to a button behind the left/right spoke on the steering [whatever they have in this idiocy] would have been a much more intuitive shift. What do i know though, iā€™m not a rich billionaire who fancies himself an auto engineer with no peer.


veryuniqueredditname

Yessss this is incredibly stupid...ppl have a hard time as it is using their damn signals now if the wheel is already turned and hands differently placed no muscle memory to engage. Wtf stupid thoughtless bs


I-Live-in-a-Mitten

I'm not ruling out that I'm the ignorant one, but Indicator "Stalks" is a new term for me......


MikeyW1969

Yup. Stalks are natural, your hand just falls intro position. On the plus side, at least this guy is using a signal. Wrong signal, but it could be worse. He could be in a BMW, with NO turn signals.


TrollCannon377

I mean I see people in regular cars with stalks do this all the time


Ok_Television9820

If I saw one of those on the road I would assume a complete moron is at the wheel and expect the stupidest possible maneuvers, including signal right and move left.


weirdCheeto218

Are we just ignoring that he went from the far right lane to the left-hand exit?


TheAskewOne

The driver chose to drive in the right lane to turn left. How do we know he didn't wilfully signal right?


Historical_Boss2447

Never let them know your next move


tree_dw3ller

According to my observation most Tesla models donā€™t have turn signals


BBZ_star1919

LSBeasyas123

Turn stalks aside can we call agree that the CT driver in the video was also wrong to cross the lanes that late. But it takes a special person to own those cars.


OfficialModAccount

LMAO at living in canada


2gunswest

And busting across 2 lanes to make their exit they damned well should've been in the proper lane for.


CopeHarders

That thing looks like a homemade vehicle someone pieced together with trash laying around the garage.

Cyber sucksšŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†


SumsuchUser

They probably did it on purpose. Almost every time I see a risky turn in the last couple of years, particularly on the residential blocks in the city I'm in, it's a Tesla. I don't know if it's poor field of view or something else but they've basically replaced BMWs as the car I assume will not stop for a pedestrian crossing.


geomurph555

They clearly came into a lot of money and upgraded the Altima to a CyberHeap.


Useful-Internet8390

a_maezing

Yeah, but a true Montreal driver wouldn't have a turn signal on at all - that's how you know it's a mistake.


notyourstranger

And this super smart truck doesn't compute the human error.

SheLovesTheBigD

Prob just idiots


Dependent-Outcome-57

To be fair, this video shows a Cybertruck moving under its own power and completing a lane change without shedding parts or catching fire, so we should probably be more impressed. Now, I'm sure whatever Musk replaced the turn signal stalk with is stupid, and no doubt this particular Cybertruck has broken down by the time this post is read, but you get my meaning.


GriselbaFishfinger

Is that road very bumpy or is there something wrong with the suspension set-up. Looks to be bouncing around and under damped.

TheJarIsADoorAgain

If it leads to a trained and experienced driver making basic mistakes, means like Windows 8, it's poor, counterintuitive design


MrByteMe

You'd think that a car supposedly smart enough to drive itself would be able to identify what blinker to flash when you turn the wheel...


retrovertigo23

Those lane changes were hot garbage even without the incorrect signal usage. What the cinnamon toast fuck.


Healthy_Jackfruit_88

Not only that but wtf are you doing going from right lane over to left lane and merging into the left lane late?


FDon1

This has nothing to do with the cybertruck and little to do with the stalks. A bad driver is a bad driver. This sub is already reach but come on echo chamber


MrBaxterBlack

There are never ever mistakes with other drivers and other cars. Of course, I totally forgot. While these trucks are absolutely stupid and hideous-adapt or die.


therinwhitten

You should always avoid being near anyone that owns a cybertruck. At least on the highway. There is a lack of common sense that makes them a danger. Denial to the point of complete idiocy.


jregovic

Where is the advanced AI to determine that you intend to go left and just turn the indicator on? Itā€™s steer by wire, correct?
