Joe Torbati from OCD Detailing drove the Model S from one building to another and commented on what it&#8217;s like to steer with a yoke in the video above.<\/p>\n<p>Joe found the yoke cool at first growing up dreaming about KITT from Knight Rider, but it only took 22 seconds for that impression to change.  &#8220;This steering wheel is a little awkward,&#8221; remarked Joe.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla Model S and X Stalkless gear selection<\/p>\n<p>The video also shows how there is no longer a gear lever.  The Model S should be able to predict in which direction the driver wants to drive.  Again, this posed a problem after less than a 2 minute drive when Joe wanted the car to switch from moving forward to backward into the store.  To do this, Joe had to use the touchscreen to put the Model S into reverse.<\/p>\n<p>To park the car, you can touch a point on the parking screen or simply take off the steering wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Every refreshed Model S in the Long Range or Plaid equipment features the yoke steering wheel.
