2023 Tesla MODEL X - UNKNOWN OR OTHER Failure Complaint (#b17e8d)

2023 Tesla MODEL X

  • Date of Incident: Dec-23, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-24, 2024
  • Failed components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER

My model year model x has a poorly designed horn function on the steering wheel. In several instances, i try to push the middle of the wheel out of habit and reaction, but there’s no mechanical push horn! Tesla installed a small tiny non-tactile horn button off to the side. It’s easily missed and you need to find a small pinky sized area to push. This is unsafe. So much so, that the 2024 and newer tesla have an actual horn function in the middle of the wheel like every other car. Please make tesla retrofit these horn function to the newer type which is much safer!
