Well you obviously don’t own a new Tesla Model S. The yolk steering wheel has capacitive buttons for signals and the horn [0].

We'll you've obviously been driving an egg this whole time.

Sorry. Yoke.

So, that's correct, but it just means everyone's correct. The original commenter said "like Tesla does" implying that significant number of Teslas have this, or it's their standard, which isn't true. It also makes one think of a touchscreen control rather than a capacitive button on the steering wheel.

Don't get me wrong, it's a stupid design. I have a Model 3, and really wish I had a front instrument cluster, too. But the whole thread seems to be half-truths from various camps trying to mislead each other.
