A long time ago, I was a kart racing enthusiast, so I've always appreciated the direct, visible connection between the steering wheel and the wheels. It offers a tangible, physical sense of control. Not sure what Tesla did with the Model S, but it almost feels like a kart car in this sense. The steering responds immediately, and I can “feel” the road. I obviously don't see the front wheels, but still I know exactly how they lay at all times.
