Rather than pressing on the air bag to trigger the horn like in most cars, Tesla has a small (about the size of a pea) capacitive button on the steering wheel. The button is placed in such a way that finding and pressing the horn in an emergency situation is nearly impossible. A driver has to look down away from the road and find the button to press it. This has nearly resulted in 2 accidents for me personally as I was unable to alert another driver of a dangerous maneuver like a lane change in a blind spot. Horns should be very easy to engage without needing to look away from the road.   Tesla has recently begun releasing cars with normal airbag horns. It is my opinion that Tesla should retrofit existing cars without airbag horns with these new steering wheels.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2023","productMake":"TESLA","productModel":"MODEL S","manufacturer":"Tesla, Inc."}]}]}
