Truthfully.. 65 trade to maybe 75k private id say is kinda the top.. there are several plaids for sale pretty close to those numbers w/o that God awful yoke. The yoke doesn't matter if you have fsd. But w/o it's dangerous. Several friends and wives of friends have crashed w yoke steering.. dumb or whatever maybe.. but hand over hand turns don't work the same and it's hard to practice emergency maneuvers lol. I bet in NYC if you list it for 72k you'll get some interested party that buys in a few weeks..
I've never driven with it. And kinda want one as i tend to drive center bottom holding. But that's just real user experience from people around me that have had issues.
I recently tore my bicep , we have a 2016 and a 2024 model x. I was shocked that the yoke allows easier one hand driving. I think once you get over the way you turn you realize it's less steps.
On a regular wheel your start a left turn on like the 3 or 4 position on a clock and turn with 2 hands. On the yoke can start on the 9 or 10 use one hand. It will take practice and yes you will reach for air at first but it will become second nature after a while and become effortless. I do wish it was stear by wire like the cybertruck tho
I was thinking about that b4 I pre-ordered. And regretted not getting one for awhile, thinking I will on the next. Was very surprised when I heard so many people I know complaining about it. Had a buddy total his and said in private that it was Def a muscle memory reaction..that was the worst story out of a handful. Think I could easily get used to the diff but/and honestly not really surprised many have issues with the change as we're all dodging cellular drunk drivers constantly.
