Honestly, darling, the moment I laid eyes on it, I wasn’t sure whether to be appalled or entranced. It has the air of something concocted in a laboratory by people who find the very concept of ‘yesterday’ to be in terribly poor taste. They call it, with a rather self-satisfied hush, the Tesla Steering Wheel. It’s less a piece of automotive equipment and more a declaration of allegiance to a future that, one suspects, will have very little time for long, leisurely lunches.Double color matching
Let's dissect this curious object. The shape is the first affront to tradition. It has been decapitated, you see. The comfortable, complete circle our hands have known for generations has been guillotined at the top and bottom, leaving this… yoke. It’s a design that suggests one should only ever be moving forward, briskly, with no thought for the messy business of turning back. It is the shape of relentless progress, and frankly, it seems a little exhausting.
And the palette—oh, the palette is a story in itself. That violent, chemical purple is the centerpiece, a color one might associate with a futuristic cocktail or a rare, possibly poisonous orchid. It is jarring, insistent. Then you have this placid, creamy beige on the grips, a color so neutral and clean it feels almost sterile, like the waiting room of a frightfully expensive plastic surgeon. The thin silver line that traces its lower edge is like a cold, hard smile, offering a glint of metallic indifference.
To grasp this Tesla Steering Wheel would not be like shaking hands with an old friend. The familiar comfort of stitched leather or warm wood is gone. In its place is a surface so smooth, so flawless, it feels disconnected from the human touch. It doesn’t ask for a confident grip; it demands a precise placement of the hands. It speaks not of a passionate drive along a winding coastal road, but of a silent, efficient glide through a city that never sleeps. It is, I suppose, perfectly designed for its intended world—a world that is sleek, fast, and ever so slightly inhuman.
