Isn't the Cybertruck steering wheel called a squircle?

Hahahaha

Terrible name for a terrible design. Yoke style steering wheels are not safe for cars because they create awkward handholds as they rotate.

Yoke style works in planes and race cars where they aren't rotated 360+ degrees regularly, rarely over 90 degrees either direction.

A square and it’s going to be revolutionary. Each side of the square is going to be an add-on

AKA...the "New and Improved Wheel". It's all about the marketing.
