  • I just want to second your comment - I agree with everything. I would also add that I read through the OP and was at first heartened by what seemed like a fairly reasonable, even-handed approach, then surprised and disappointed by the progression into reactionary anti-Soviet tropes. Calling anything posted to Hexbear “bigoted” is truly staggering - I challenge anyone to find a space on the internet that is less bigoted than Hexbear. It has shaped and improved me personally through my interaction over its existence. I am a better, less bigoted person today because of Hexbear.




  • Then why did they discontinue it if it wasn’t a stupid idea? Oh well.

    I just want to go into the thing itself a little bit here… What vehicles do we see “yoke” style steering wheels on? Racing cars and karts. Why do we see yokes on those vehicles specifically? Extremely fast steering racks that will go lock-to-lock in a half or quarter turn, coupled with cockpits that either do not allow enough arm movement due to restraints or space to have more wheel movement. Are Teslas cramped inside with arm restraints because they’re open-top racecars? Do they have racing racks that go lock to lock in a quarter turn? Are Teslas driven like a racecar, where both hands will always be on the wheel unless you’re banging through gears? No.

    It’s a child’s view of the world that spawned the idea of putting yokes in Teslas, because the child (Musk) saw racecars and was too ignorant to understand why they had yokes. Techbros and their consequences, etc.
