NO MORE YOKE! TESLA MODEL S ROUND STEERING WHEEL RETROFIT

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details their experience swapping the controversial Yoke steering wheel for a traditional round wheel in their 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid. While not finding the Yoke inherently unsafe for performance driving, the reviewer found it cumbersome and less enjoyable for daily driving and situations requiring fine steering adjustments, such as with FSD Beta. The Yoke's physical wear and the lack of a satisfying tactile interaction were also noted drawbacks. The retrofit process, performed by Tesla Mobile Service, was praised for its convenience and efficiency, with the technician being knowledgeable and friendly. The new round wheel is described as a significant improvement for daily usability, offering a more natural and enjoyable driving experience, though the capacitive buttons and horn placement remain unchanged. The reviewer expresses strong satisfaction with the swap, feeling it enhances the car's enjoyment and perceived seating position, despite the added cost.
