    Dunno. Car doesn’t running (resistance from the tires). Moving from one extreme position to another.

    I’m not defending Tesla. I just need a comparison to a “normal” car.

      Lag shouldn’t be an issue for a “normal” car because you still have a physical connection between the steering and the wheel. Worst case you’ll have more resistance if the power steering system fails.

          I’m pretty sure that by “normal” car we were just talking about non-steer-by-wire cars. Maybe I misunderstood.

          Either way it was tested by some manufacturers in the past and if I remember correctly users generally disliked either the feeling or the simple knowledge that they have something between them and the wheels. We’ll see
