Sometimes I need to disable the limiter, which happens to be a button in the same position as Tesla put the turn signal buttons, while in a turn, and it's just impossible.

You need to disable the limiter mid turn? Are you trying to power slide?

The comment about roundabouts is the same for Australia. You wait a roundabout entrance, with your indicator telling people what you intend to do on the roundabout, and that indication stays until you are ready to leave the roundabout, which you are then required to indicate left (unless you were already indicating left!).

Having moving buttons on the steering wheel is an absolutely absurd idea. Not just for indicating, anything important (I dont mean volume control for the radio, or phone answer button) should never be on a rotating object, where it can be inaccessible or "not where it should be" in a time of need (or required).

Norway, where Tesla is becoming the most popular car brand

How the fuck are Norwegians affording that

Because they are rich. Also Norway has quite large government subsidies for EVs. IIRC they are exempt from the 25% VAT for example.
EVs aren't exactly cheap, but petrol cars are even more expensive.
