    I’m all for hating Tesla, but if your vehicle is approved for Norwegian roads, and is the correct class, it should be able to be used in the driving test. Why should it matter how you signal, as long as you do it? You could even do hand signals if you wanted. (PS learn your countries’ hand signals)

      If you had read the article, you would know that this has nothing to do with your car. You can learn to drive whatever car you want in Norway.

      Some Norwegian driving schools are making it policy not to buy Teslas as training vehicles because they use non-standard controls. They only want training vehicles that use standard controls, because that’s the best way to teach a student.

      This makes sense. If most cars have a stalk, teach students to drive that way, not with the weird car that’s slowly transforming into an Xbox. If students own a Tesla, they can still learn to drive it, the driving schools are just unlikely to have that model in their lot.

      the article says that it’s more difficult to use this turn signal in the roundabout ( as the button is on the wheel so its position shifted along with the steering wheel, as opposed to the static position of the stalk ) and the driver has to shift a part of their attention to locate the button The person who found this also ask other instructors and they agreed, that’s why they’re not buying this model

      but IMO if I’m an ownwer of a driving school looking to buy new cars for students, I’d pick more generic one too. Students would prefer to learn how to operate most cars than a specific model. Like how most music school would prefer normal guitar than double neck guitar
