Summary
The 2021 refresh, Tesla's Palladium project, turned the centre screen to landscape and launched with a yoke instead of a round wheel and with no column stalks at all.
Specifications
Cockpit
Instrument cluster
A separate screen behind the yoke keeps speed in the driver's line of sight.

2021 Model S / Model X interface
The screen can tilt left or right; the tilt was announced at the January 2021 reveal and switched on later.

Available on Teslas with the AMD infotainment computer, which this generation uses.

There is no gear lever either: the drive direction is chosen through the software.
