Tesla now offers a steering wheel retrofit for the yoke steering wheel on its Model S and Model X If you are one of those Tesla owners who prefer a traditional round steering wheel over the futuristic yoke steering wheel that comes with the new Model S and Model X, you are in luck.
Tesla has recently launched a round steering wheel retrofit option for its flagship vehicles, which you can order from its online shop for $700 . The round steering wheel retrofit includes installation by Tesla Service technicians and is expected to be available in March 2023. The steering wheel is heated and wrapped in premium vegan leather, but it does not come with stalks or shifters.
You will still need to use the touchscreen or voice commands to control various functions of your vehicle. The yoke steering wheel has been a controversial feature of the new Model S and Model X, as some drivers find it awkward, uncomfortable or unsafe to use. Some critics have also questioned its legality in some markets.
However, some Tesla fans have defended the yoke as a better and more futuristic way of driving. Whether you love it or hate it, the yoke steering wheel is now optional for new Model S and Model X buyers. You can choose between the yoke or the round steering wheel when you place your order online. And if you change your mind later, you can always opt for the retrofit option.
Tesla is known for its innovation and customer satisfaction, so it is not surprising that it has listened to its customers’ feedback and offered them more choices. The round steering wheel retrofit is another example of how Tesla adapts to its customers’ needs and preferences.
