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.
Not even sure why an article was needed. No shit they're going to want cars with standard controls for driving schools.
The point of the article is to say "new Tesla indicator controls are bad and unsafe"
which they really aren't in the first place I've used it and never had a problem
