Huh?
Students are bringing their own cars (or their parents' cars) to driving school, and some of those cars are Tesla Model 3s.
The students (and/or their parents) are paying the school, not vice versa. Tesla is not paying the schools (or the students, or their parents) to bring those cars to driving school.
I don’t drive, so I’m a little unclear as to what the issue is with Tesla’s force-touch turn signals specifically in roundabouts. The article only states that it’s a problem, but not how it’s a problem. Could anyone elaborate? To be clear - I can understand why this design is awful more generally. What I don’t understand is the problem it poses specifically in roundabouts since that seems to be the central point of t…

> Tesla’s reasoning for going away with a method universally used for signaling turn for decades is that it enables them to remove a physical part, the stalk, and it believes activating a turn signal will soon be unnecessary with the advent of self-driving. That is some impressive levels of "we know better than you / everyone else" thinking.

Article: "But now some driving schools in Norway are banning new Tesla vehicles"
Kinda got watered down...

This is fine in regular driving situations but very difficult when you have multiple things going on at the same time that require your attention, such as when you are turning in a roundabout.
Normally this is activated with your left hand pushing a stalk up or down and is deeply ingrained in anyone trained in a modern vehicle.
It’s the same issue with touch screen inputs, but in this case it’s safety related and a common and critically used component required for safe operation of the vehicle.
Tesla’s insight about self-driving warranting the removal or rearrangement of input controls is a tad rich considering full self driving has been promised for years and has never been delivered. Back in 2016, Elon Musk claimed that Tesla cars could “drive autonomously with greater safety than a person. Right now.” Now in 2023 they are changing safety equipment for “full self driving” but still haven’t delivered FSD, but I’m sure you know the background.
Hope this is helpful.
