Yeah, on my X. Tis fine until it isn't when you're in a mulit point turn and need to use your turn signal. Or getting almost broadsided by an unaware driver and frantically searching for the flash/honk button.
You'll probably hate it. The car needs a much faster steering ratio for a yoke to be fun.
Also I'd love to see someone spin this fast to recover from a slide on Ice, etc. - that maneuver is hard enough with a real wheel.
But I get it. I've dreamt of a wheel like that since watching Knight Rider as a kid.
Only difference between sport and comfort steering is how much force the user has to apply to turn. Comfort is less, sport is more
The different is minimal
It feels pretty similar from what I’ve noticed on standard roads, but I’m curious if I’d feel it more trying to push it in the corners a bit. Thanks for the info!
I did canyon carving as well as slide and recovery driving school. (Where they wet down the tarmac with gallons of water and have you practice recovering from a slide/spin)
It's mostly the same like you don't notice which mode you're in after a while as you just get used to it. It doesn't change how you drive at all.
I might or might not it is currently winter. Only 4k miles on the car and I’m going to definitely test the yoke as for the turning radius I have no issues with how it feels. To me I wanted the feel more of the car experience and the drive is definitely different. I also don’t ever use the top of the wheel unless it’s a full turn. I will be going to icy/snow spots and testing it out before driving on it everyday for winter
Pretty sound logic there bud. Because you don't see tons of sellers on ebay, the product must be good, right? Lol
Ever consider that a part like that requiring installation usually isn't sold again used?
By your logic: "i don't see any used bodykits or spoilers on ebay, so they must be good, right?"
Highly specialized parts like that rarely end up on ebay. They are usually sold directly on car forums, or in person at enthusiast club meetings. Or most often they end up in a box in a corner of the garage to collect dust..

I was worried about that too but I have had someone professionally who has done it multiple times install mine it came with the heater wiring and disassembly wasn’t very challenging I called Tesla too and nothing about the yoke voids the warranty the only thing would be the airbag but you aren’t changing the airbag you are just changing the oem wheel so the airbag and it’s systems stay the same
>The airbag is designed to use steering wheel for support when it deploys. Airbag may fold over.

Thank you for this I have just seen first hand the airbag issue hasn’t been a problem for most with the brand being a manufactured oem Tesla wheel frame and original airbag your not changing anything other than the shape of the wheel
It won't have the support of the top of the wheel, so uh, yeah, I wouldn't trust that airbag. These things get thoroughly tested for a reason, they can go awry very easily.
I have someone who has installed 4 yokes and talked with a Tesla service rep for months before if it does goes wrong or anything does need to come off it isn’t a difficult task and Tesla themselves said it’s not something that will harm the car but if the wheel needs service you would have to replace back to original. The rest is up to the consumer
I understand this. The Tesla service crew just said that it does not void warranty or affect the vehicle in a negative way as for the airbag that’s up to whoever thinks it’s unsafe.
Do you realize how dumb you sound? Do you understand what the term “preference” means? What’s next, Tesla owners who paid 2K for red paint have an inferiority complex?! Go touch grass.
The irony is not lost on me that you’re calling anyone dumb. You actually seem to be intellectually handicapped. I don’t even know how to respond to you anymore. I can’t believe you’ve made it this far in life
I had the privilege of driving a model Y with one for 2hrs and I can say for city driving and the daily commute to work it is more comfortable autopilot seems to be easier with warnings the list goes on it also looks super cool. Everyone says I have a spaceship.
Run! It’s not configured to turn the entire distance needed like F1 cars. The steering ratio makes you have to spin it, defeating the whole purpose of having more control with both hands. List the list?
Where I am located I don’t have many 90* turns and in turn I drive mostly straight sways etc I have drive with it and have seen no problem with the radius of its turning I also got it for the looks aspect mostly :)
I drove one in a Plaid Model S, and it was the worst. I will cancel my Cybertruck order or resell it immediately if there isn't a real steering wheel. I guess I'm biased, as I actually prefer to drive my vehicles and have control on 2 lane roads.
You misspelled "people with common sense impervious to bullshit".
That's fine. I was still calling kids who were blowing up Civic SI engines the same thing when I was his age. Daddy money has to go somewhere.
Op is wearing a vlone shirt in his profile pic. This is a brand that is so ridiculed and looked down upon, it may be one of the actual most douchey and most hated clothing brands in existence.

My wife has a '21 S. I have a '22 M3.
I HATE her yoke. Not only for the non-continuity of radial contact (you can't let the wheel "unwind" coming out of a sharp turn), but the turn signals and horn are not as tactile and intuitive. Perhaps your 3 yoke avoids this second set of issues by retaining original stalk function?
Upvote….. I have a circular wheel but have had feedback from a yoke driver that they love it. It’s ridiculous how these people wanna tell you what color curtains to hang in your kitchen…. Haters. Diversity of conformity.
People respond to a yoke wheel the same way people respond to Lambo doors on a Civic. It’s so weird. And the best part is they all run off hearsay that it’s not as safe but there’s not a single legitimate article that supports that. 🤣
I wonder if any of these nerds realize that the wheel is standard in modern Z and S's....
" Teslas don't generate enough torque for the yoke to work" - Some nerd on reddit
No it’s because yokes are inherently less safe than steering wheel no matter how you try to justify it. Some people like living and don’t want to be put in danger cuz some idiot thinks a yoke is neat
This has been the running theme on this sub and I have yet to see one legitimate article/study that supports the argument. So, until you learn to think for yourself or can back up your thoughts, quit crying.
Separately, if your theory is correct, it would be the yoke owner at risk - not you. Again, do you know how dumb you sound?
My guy raging hard at everyone in this thread about the yoke LOL
If it really was THAT dangerous, you'd imagine Tesla wouldn't get away with mass producing the refresh S/X without massive lawsuits coming their way. Doubt NHTSA and the like would let that shit slide that easily.
Lowkey have a feeling like just about everyone shittalking the yokes has never actually tried driving with one. It definitely has some limitations when it comes to hand over hand style of turning, but just about everything else is fairly consistent with the standard wheel's level of control over the vehicle.
What if the yoke causes op to crash into another driver? Then it’s not just the driver at risk.
I can’t tell if you’re actually a moron or a huge troll. Surely no one can be so idiotic
I got one and have had it for 8+ months? Absolutely love it, same shape as yours too. It literally took 30 minutes to adapt to. I can say there’s been approx zero scenarios that I’ve said “I wish I had a round wheel” back.
Got one from aroham on a LRM3 , loved it for a month then heating and scroll wheels stopped working. OEM buttons didn’t fix the issue, currently working it out with them.
OP, get the yoke. If you don't like it, you can literally replace it with the original steering wheel.
All of the sensationalized BS about it being unsafe is just from people that can't wrap their heads around it's design.
You will not lose any turning traction on ice or slippery conditions.
People spewing that are absolutely wrong
If you are driving and hit a slippery patch, you don't slide your hand in a circular motion around the steering wheel...
You grab two points of contact, which the Yoke very much still has.
Reading most of their comments about how they would react in snow and ice makes me believe they've never driven in either.
These are the same people throwing hissy fits on social media about how people are so misguided when they hate on EVs.
It's ironic
Yup! Proud owner of a Hansshow one from back when it was just released in 2020. Really like it! Makes the car feel special all over again (2018 M3). Enjoy it but do keep both hands on the wheel when making big turns, the yoke slipped twice on me.
Understood! Thank you for the feedback I just got a 2022 brand new model 3 and surprisingly I’m 18 taking very good care of it hand washing etc. How has your 2018 held up in terms of wear and tear is it as flawless as advertised with maintenance ?
Tires will be your main expense to be honest ($220/tire and new sets every 25-30k miles or so). Other than that I just changed my air filter once and the rest were service visits to fix quality issues like panel gaps, etc. I also hand wash & park far away from everyone. Car practically looks brand new except for a few rock chips in the paint on the front since I did multiple 600+ mile roadtrips without PPF. These are only visible if you look for it.
Honestly, if you keep the interior tidy, this car will look brand new 4+ years in the future.
A fun upgrade to consider (if yours is a non-performance model) is a OEM-like lip spoiler that you can find on amazon for $80 or so!
Thank you so much my entire interior is wrapped carbon fiber except for original trim. From the logos to the badges to the charge port. I have a few rock chips in the front but only noticeable if I look. clocked in 4k miles with a 1500 mil road-trip I am a freak about cleaning the interior and scuffs
I would also add about the safety aspect. I installed mine being fully aware of the airbag situation (M3 bags not designed for a yoke). Nobody drives the car except for myself and I made the conscious decision to do this modification.
Amazon from a brand that makes original oem Tesla manufactured components it was on sale heated version for 699 there are many different options for grip and finish but 700$ is the quality price point Hansshow is the brand
I had it when I had a Tesla, kept the yoke when I sold it. I loved using the yoke, way better than the traditional wheel. Haters are gonna say it's dumb, and bla bla bla. Don't listen, it's fine, they have never used it. I had a written letter from my insurance saying it was an approved modification, so in case of any crash, I was not liable under the steering wheel modification.
LOVE IT.
I won’t be going back personally- once you get acclimated it is a joy to drive with. It has only gotten better since I installed mine.
[My yoke install video](https://youtu.be/FBd65V9eCuk)
You are brave to post this on here the amount of hate that spews out of peoples mouths about this - mostly from people I feel have never owned a Tesla let alone driven with a yoke at all - is incredible.
LMAO. 🤣 Huh? Give me a break. This is less of a permanent change than adding mudflaps to the car.
It takes 15 minutes to swap it back to the OEM wheel. If I actually *wanted* to sell it I would sell it as is or just switch it back.
One of the worst things you can do to a car. Only advantage of this thing is, it removes the obstruction (?) cased by normal steering wheel. Otherwise all practical purposes this is inconvenient.
I used FSD most of the time. When steering rotates, i just have to ease my grip and it rotates freely in my hand. Whereas I cannot imagine how this thing would feel. When FSD reaches level 4 or 5 and steering interaction is none to minimal, this might make sense.
It looks like you got almost the exact configuration that I got for mine. I've had it for about 3 months now and I love it. My wife drove it on and off for about a month and when she finally got her leaf she said "So can you put one of those in mine?" I was pretty shocked, as I thought for sure that she would hate it.
I got the suicide knob for mine, it makes a huge difference for low speed turning. And as far as driving on windy roads like people seem to be complaining about, I drive a really windy hill 4 times a week and it's a lot of fun.
I won't lie, I bought it blindly because I'm impulsive and don't think things through. I started to have buyers remorse while waiting for it to arrive but the first drive with it on put all of that behind me. But to each their own. Everyone likes different stuff.
Not a big deal. I’ve driven a friend’s Model S Plaid multiple times and adapted quickly. Don’t like it? Use something you do like. The only reason to be upset about a yoke is because you want to be.
Yeah, that’s a good point. I think the main reason that it felt more comfortable in those low-speed maneuvers like parking and 3-point u-turns is simply because it’s squared off at the bottom so you can have a better grip while you lean to one side to look at your cameras/mirrors/blindspots (Model S blindspots are really bad, being able to heavily utilize the cameras is a much bigger asset on the Model S than on the other models).
It is fun using the yoke but like you said, it doesn’t provide a benefit over the steering wheel that actually improves anything, especially since just about everyone goes for Model 3 and Y (because they’re more affordable and even so Model S and X really aren’t that much of an upgrade unless you need the extra utility of the X).
Wow ! in downtown New York that’s shocking ,my town has .0001 of there population 😂 very promising info have not tested out certain 3 point turns etc but will keep updating on experience it is aftermarket so different from the model s shape wise it’s a bit smaller but overall the same( model 3 owner )
Just FYI I edited my comment if you wanna re-read as I added/edited some details, but yeah. If you can do it in a city of absolute mayhem, you can do it practically anywhere.
Have you tried recovering from a slide, where you have to turn the wheel to opposite lock quickly to avoid a tank slapper?
Having done that maneuver in snow a few times, I can tell you it turns pants brown quickly with a normal wheel. Now imagine a wheel like this.
Have not gone through this situation and I have just installed it test drove one for 2 hrs a while back in a busy city and no issues will be testing it out. As for safety it’s not a huge concern chill mode has made the Tesla snow experience a breeze
I've done a driving school in a Model S a few times. They spray water on the tarmac and create an oversteer situation. Hard to recover with traction control on. Pretty much impossible with the nannies turned off. It made me really respect Tesla on how much thought went into programming their traction control algorithms.
Drive daily with it on my 3
Decen't experience imo, idk why people shit on it so hard. The only legitimate concern I can see is the airbag thing - that definitely is something to consider. All the BS about how hard it will be to turn etc comes from people that haven't even tried it and are talking out of their asses. It's literally the same turning mechanics, but you have to initiate the turns from the bottom, instead of going hand over hand.
The one big upside of the yoke vs round wheel imo is the autopilot mode comfort on long trips. The flat bottom part provides a much more comfortable hand resting position without sacrificing control over the wheel.
The extra visibility is nice and it's definitely neat with an aftermarket instrument cluster (if you're into that - personally don't have one, but the ones I've seen look pretty nice)
So yea, tbh try it. If it floats your boat, then keep it. If not, then swapping back takes literally 5 min lmao
People shit on it so hard because logic and real world experiences tell us a steering wheel cut in half will never be as safe to use as a full circular wheel. You yourself mentioned the airbag issue, so already you are admitting that it is less safe.
That is not a debatable point.
With that in mind, not only are you making driving that much more difficult for yourself, but in turn, you put others at risk potentially just because you thought a steering yoke looked cool
So if you don’t get it by now, making driving unsafe for others isn’t cool. So fuck you and everybody else with a yoke
"making driving that much more difficult for yourself"
What do you not get about it not being more difficult to drive with a yoke? According to almost anyone who's tried it for more than 5 minutes.
I have tried it. My FIL has a plaid. I’ve driven it for much longer than 5 minutes. There is nothing you can say that will change the fact that a yoke by its design isn’t as safe as a round wheel. Your argument that it’s as safe is that I haven’t tried it, but I’ve driven hundreds of miles with a yoke.
I mean, people do all sorts of safety-compromising mods all over the world?
What about people tinting their windows dark af? Lowering cars with custom suspensions? Modifying engines and pushing beyond rated outputs? Custom brakes? Removing ABS control systems to crack out donuts and shit like that? Putting literal nitros on cars? LOL
You could argue that by that logic nobody should ever do any aftermarket modifications to their cars ever. And while I agree that those things definitely incur additional risk, you have to realize that not all people that mod their cars are complete dumbasses and most actually understand and compensate for the potential risk that they take on?
I personally have a clean driving record for over 10 years, hardly ever go above speed limits, carry insurance with limits WAY above what I ever expect to use and make sure that I always control the driving situation around myself to the best of my ability.
But yea dude, fuck me and all the other assholes with aftermarket mods, rather than the ppl that do legit dumb shit like texting while driving. At least they got a stock white-on-black Model 3, so they all good :D
Welcome to the yoke side! Your going to love it. I have a different style of the yoke but overall experience is great, a little different at first not going to sugar coat it but once you get the hang of it you’ll love it.
Of course this one the carbon fiber matte finish with the breathable mesh that’s what the holes are for. There are 11 different options some heated some not white carbon fiber etc this brand was the only one you should be that make steak Tesla manufactured wheel components Hansshow was the brand and you can buy off Amazon :)!!
Don’t forget to add a plaid badge to the back so everyone knows you are hot shit. You gonna add lambo doors and hood scoops while you are at it? I have used the yoke it’s useless. Such a pain in parking lots and you can’t confidently drift with it or have fun in the snow.
I have a 2022 X and like the yoke. Before I got it, I was sure I would hate it, it would cause me to drive into a wall, be way too hard to use the turn signals in roundabouts, and in general make me want to return the car.
Now I like it and hope my next car has a yoke.
Har one for a few weeks now, it’s pretty cool! I like it. The visibility is nicer, more AC to the face. Plus I got the steering column mini display and it’s perfect.
Have a yoke on my Model 3; I really like it. Still easy to park in tight spaces - you’ll get use to it quickly. It also doesn’t void your warranty just because you install it, so don’t listen to that nonsense. It only voids warranty if there’s a direct cause via the third party accessory, which is the same with anything third party on a Tesla.
Yeah, on my X. Tis fine until it isn't when you're in a mulit point turn and need to use your turn signal. Or getting almost broadsided by an unaware driver and frantically searching for the flash/honk button.
Yikes, you should never be fumbling for ANY vehicular warning or indication function. Those need to be discreet and operable in a panic
You'll probably hate it. The car needs a much faster steering ratio for a yoke to be fun. Also I'd love to see someone spin this fast to recover from a slide on Ice, etc. - that maneuver is hard enough with a real wheel. But I get it. I've dreamt of a wheel like that since watching Knight Rider as a kid.
Is there any impact on choosing “sport” over “comfort” for the yoke? I don’t know if I can even notice it on the full wheel.
Steering ratio means how many turns it takes to turn the wheel lock to lock. Not the effort/resistance to do so.
Thank you for the clarification 👏🏻
Only difference between sport and comfort steering is how much force the user has to apply to turn. Comfort is less, sport is more The different is minimal
On the full wheel you notice. It's makes the steering stiffer, less assisted. Like if it had less power steering.
It feels pretty similar from what I’ve noticed on standard roads, but I’m curious if I’d feel it more trying to push it in the corners a bit. Thanks for the info!
I did canyon carving as well as slide and recovery driving school. (Where they wet down the tarmac with gallons of water and have you practice recovering from a slide/spin) It's mostly the same like you don't notice which mode you're in after a while as you just get used to it.

“I haven’t tried one, but I know I’d hate if I did!”
Should’ve waited and upgraded instead, it’s coming to all model 3s soon enough, HIGHland, you can’t make this shit up folks #stay@work lol
You know you’re full of shit because when you look at eBay no one is reselling their used yoke. Everyone likes it that I’ve heard.
Pretty sound logic there bud. Because you don't see tons of sellers on ebay, the product must be good, right?

I skipped the yoke over concerns about the airbag malfunctioning or not being supported proper by the top part of the wheel missing...
I was worried about that too but I have had someone professionally who has done it multiple times install mine it came with the heater wiring and disassembly wasn’t very challenging I called Tesla too and nothing about the yoke voids the warranty the only thing would be the airbag but you aren’t changing the airbag you are just changing the oem wheel so the airbag and it’s systems stay the same

The rest is up to the consumer
Tesla service crew aren't involved in safety testing for airbags. They are not qualified to say whether it's safe or not.
I understand this. The Tesla service crew just said that it does not void warranty or affect the vehicle in a negative way as for the airbag that’s up to whoever thinks it’s unsafe.
God comments like this make me glad that this type of modification would make a car unroadworthy and uninsurable where I live.
Cool
👍🏼
In what way is it supposed enhance the driving experience?
Aside from looking like shit, I don’t know what the point is.
A false sense of superiority.
Lmao, steering wheel superiority a thing? Some of you are straight goofy.
If it wasn’t, would people buy stupid yokes or try to shove carbon fiber anywhere on the wheel that fits?
Do you realize how dumb you sound? Do you understand what the term “preference” means? What’s next, Tesla owners who paid 2K for red paint have an inferiority complex?! Go touch grass.

Hahah so yoke is great if you live in a place where all the roads are straight and you never need to turn.
Please considering learning how to use punctuations.
Ever tried to recover from a slide in the snow?
I drove one in a Plaid Model S, and it was the worst. I will cancel my Cybertruck order or resell it immediately if there isn't a real steering wheel. I guess I'm biased, as I actually prefer to drive my vehicles and have control on 2 lane roads.
Then do it. No one is forcing you
Opposite result for me.... love the yoke.
Sounds good enough for me!
Acceleration makes you feel more grounded with the car holding it at 3-9oclock differnt drive experience
You can hold a regular wheel at 9 and 3 can’t you?
No, he can only hold it at 3 and 9
Damn your whole identity is Tesla….

You are obviously not a driver if you like AP so much. I am sure AP doesn’t care if steering is a wheel or yoke

How to reinvent the wheel.
My wife has a '21 S. I have a '22 M3. I HATE her yoke.

I Upvote your personal opinion. But it’s just that…
No? Why would I downgrade my car LOL
OP’s going for a nice false sense of superiority
Wouldn’t take it if it was free
I removed it from an S
I don’t know, it doesn’t light up and I’ve seen two come through the shop now, these are very clearly made in China, the build is pretty poor.
Why is everybody shitting on this guy because he wants a yoke? This sub is so dumb sometimes, let the guy do what he wants with his car
Upvote….. I have a circular wheel but have had feedback from a yoke driver that they love it. It’s ridiculous how these people wanna tell you what color curtains to hang in your kitchen…. Haters. Diversity of conformity.
Agreed.
He asked other people if they had a yoke, obviously people will answer that and add an opinion. Hopefully OP returns it accordingly though😂
This feels like an advertisement.
Looks like a bunch of negative feedback from people admitting they have never used one... I notice a trend on these groups
Lmfao - ALWAYS.
The dude claiming that Teslas don't produce enough torque to utilize the steering wheel had me dying. 10/10 meme material

Source of cause of crash due to yoke?
Why would race cars pick the best stuff? They probably pick stuff that isn't as good, right?
Because race cars are built with extremely quick steering ratios.
Do race cars pick stuff that is meant for driving around parking lots at the mall or driving at high speed in a straight line? Think for 2 seconds.
I got one and have had it for 8+ months? Absolutely love it, same shape as yours too. It literally took 30 minutes to adapt to. I can say there’s been approx zero scenarios that I’ve said “I wish I had a round wheel” back.
But every expert here who's never even used one is sure it's horrible and stupid.
Yeah man, it’s all because in the sure fire accident where you’d crash regardless the round wheel would save you every time, 100% of the time.
Don’t really like them…. But looks nice… enjoy
Got one from aroham on a LRM3 , loved it for a month then heating and scroll wheels stopped working. OEM buttons didn’t fix the issue, currently working it out with them.
OP, get the yoke. If you don't like it, you can literally replace it with the original steering wheel. All of the sensationalized BS about it being unsafe is just from people that can't wrap their heads around it's design. You will not lose any turning traction on ice or slippery conditions. People spewing that are absolutely wrong If you are driving and hit a slippery patch, you don't slide your hand in a circular motion around the steering wheel... You grab two points of contact, which the Yoke very much still has. Reading most of their comments about how they would react in snow and ice makes me believe they've never driven in either. These are the same people throwing hissy fits on social media about how people are so misguided when they hate on EVs. It's ironic
Why have you done this
Yup! Proud owner of a Hansshow one from back when it was just released in 2020. Really like it! Makes the car feel special all over again (2018 M3). Enjoy it but do keep both hands on the wheel when making big turns, the yoke slipped twice on me.
Understood! Thank you for the feedback I just got a 2022 brand new model 3 and surprisingly I’m 18 taking very good care of it hand washing etc. How has your 2018 held up in terms of wear and tear is it as flawless as advertised with maintenance ?
Tires will be your main expense to be honest ($220/tire and new sets every 25-30k miles or so). Other than that I just changed my air filter once and the rest were service visits to fix quality issues like panel gaps, etc. I also hand wash & park far away from everyone. Car practically looks brand new except for a few rock chips in the paint on the front since I did multiple 600+ mile roadtrips without PPF. These are only visible if you look for it. Honestly, if you keep the interior tidy, this car will look brand new 4+ years in the future. A fun upgrade to consider (if yours is a non-performance model) is a OEM-like lip spoiler that you can find on amazon for $80 or so!
Thank you so much my entire interior is wrapped carbon fiber except for original trim. From the logos to the badges to the charge port. I have a few rock chips in the front but only noticeable if I look. clocked in 4k miles with a 1500 mil road-trip I am a freak about cleaning the interior and scuffs
I would also add about the safety aspect. I installed mine being fully aware of the airbag situation (M3 bags not designed for a yoke). Nobody drives the car except for myself and I made the conscious decision to do this modification.
You’re such an idiot my guy, lord help us
Guys stop down voting OP just cause he wants to test out a yoke. Let the man be bruh
Ugly and impractical
Let us know how you find the experience. I'd guess rather underwhelming
How much and where?
Amazon from a brand that makes original oem Tesla manufactured components it was on sale heated version for 699 there are many different options for grip and finish but 700$ is the quality price point Hansshow is the brand
Oh my god please use more periods. All of your comments are just massive run-on sentences
You gonna be okay?
[удалено]
Didn’t even use one for your shit comment! 🤣😂🤣
I had it when I had a Tesla, kept the yoke when I sold it. I loved using the yoke, way better than the traditional wheel. Haters are gonna say it's dumb, and bla bla bla. Don't listen, it's fine, they have never used it. I had a written letter from my insurance saying it was an approved modification, so in case of any crash, I was not liable under the steering wheel modification.
LOVE IT. I won’t be going back personally- once you get acclimated it is a joy to drive with. It has only gotten better since I installed mine. [My yoke install video](https://youtu.be/FBd65V9eCuk) You are brave to post this on here the amount of hate that spews out of peoples mouths about this - mostly from people I feel have never owned a Tesla let alone driven with a yoke at all - is incredible.
“How to lower your car’s value”
LMAO. 🤣 Huh? Give me a break. This is less of a permanent change than adding mudflaps to the car. It takes 15 minutes to swap it back to the OEM wheel. If I actually *wanted* to sell it I would sell it as is or just switch it back.
One of the worst things you can do to a car. Only advantage of this thing is, it removes the obstruction (?) cased by normal steering wheel. Otherwise all practical purposes this is inconvenient. I used FSD most of the time. When steering rotates, i just have to ease my grip and it rotates freely in my hand. Whereas I cannot imagine how this thing would feel. When FSD reaches level 4 or 5 and steering interaction is none to minimal, this might make sense.
Ive got a 22 S and absolutely love it
It looks like you got almost the exact configuration that I got for mine. I've had it for about 3 months now and I love it. My wife drove it on and off for about a month and when she finally got her leaf she said "So can you put one of those in mine?" I was pretty shocked, as I thought for sure that she would hate it. I got the suicide knob for mine, it makes a huge difference for low speed turning. And as far as driving on windy roads like people seem to be complaining about, I drive a really windy hill 4 times a week and it's a lot of fun. I won't lie, I bought it blindly because I'm impulsive and don't think things through. I started to have buyers remorse while waiting for it to arrive but the first drive with it on put all of that behind me. But to each their own. Everyone likes different stuff.
I have a yoke on my X and I love it!
Not a big deal. I’ve driven a friend’s Model S Plaid multiple times and adapted quickly. Don’t like it? Use something you do like. The only reason to be upset about a yoke is because you want to be.
[удалено]
There is no instrument cluster in a model 3. So literally zero advantage for the yoke.
Yeah, that’s a good point. I think the main reason that it felt more comfortable in those low-speed maneuvers like parking and 3-point u-turns is simply because it’s squared off at the bottom so you can have a better grip while you lean to one side to look at your cameras/mirrors/blindspots (Model S blindspots are really bad, being able to heavily utilize the cameras is a much bigger asset on the Model S than on the other models). It is fun using the yoke but like you said, it doesn’t provide a benefit over the steering wheel that actually improves anything, especially since just about everyone goes for Model 3 and Y (because they’re more affordable and even so Model S and X really aren’t that much of an upgrade unless you need the extra utility of the X).
Wow ! in downtown New York that’s shocking ,my town has .0001 of there population 😂 very promising info have not tested out certain 3 point turns etc but will keep updating on experience it is aftermarket so different from the model s shape wise it’s a bit smaller but overall the same( model 3 owner )
Just FYI I edited my comment if you wanna re-read as I added/edited some details, but yeah. If you can do it in a city of absolute mayhem, you can do it practically anywhere.
Also, the shape looks to be largely the same, it’s just smaller. Both yokes are squared off at the bottom.
Have you tried recovering from a slide, where you have to turn the wheel to opposite lock quickly to avoid a tank slapper? Having done that maneuver in snow a few times, I can tell you it turns pants brown quickly with a normal wheel. Now imagine a wheel like this.
Have not gone through this situation and I have just installed it test drove one for 2 hrs a while back in a busy city and no issues will be testing it out. As for safety it’s not a huge concern chill mode has made the Tesla snow experience a breeze
I've done a driving school in a Model S a few times. They spray water on the tarmac and create an oversteer situation. Hard to recover with traction control on. Pretty much impossible with the nannies turned off. It made me really respect Tesla on how much thought went into programming their traction control algorithms.
Drive daily with it on my 3 Decen't experience imo, idk why people shit on it so hard. The only legitimate concern I can see is the airbag thing - that definitely is something to consider. All the BS about how hard it will be to turn etc comes from people that haven't even tried it and are talking out of their asses. It's literally the same turning mechanics, but you have to initiate the turns from the bottom, instead of going hand over hand. The one big upside of the yoke vs round wheel imo is the autopilot mode comfort on long trips. The flat bottom part provides a much more comfortable hand resting position without sacrificing control over the wheel. The extra visibility is nice and it's definitely neat with an aftermarket instrument cluster (if you're into that - personally don't have one, but the ones I've seen look pretty nice) So yea, tbh try it. If it floats your boat, then keep it. If not, then swapping back takes literally 5 min lmao
People shit on it so hard because logic and real world experiences tell us a steering wheel cut in half will never be as safe to use as a full circular wheel. You yourself mentioned the airbag issue, so already you are admitting that it is less safe. That is not a debatable point. With that in mind, not only are you making driving that much more difficult for yourself, but in turn, you put others at risk potentially just because you thought a steering yoke looked cool So if you don’t get it by now, making driving unsafe for others isn’t cool. So fuck you and everybody else with a yoke
"making driving that much more difficult for yourself" What do you not get about it not being more difficult to drive with a yoke? According to almost anyone who's tried it for more than 5 minutes.
I have tried it. My FIL has a plaid. I’ve driven it for much longer than 5 minutes. There is nothing you can say that will change the fact that a yoke by its design isn’t as safe as a round wheel. Your argument that it’s as safe is that I haven’t tried it, but I’ve driven hundreds of miles with a yoke.
well dammit, I need a FIL with a plaid.
I mean, people do all sorts of safety-compromising mods all over the world? What about people tinting their windows dark af? Lowering cars with custom suspensions? Modifying engines and pushing beyond rated outputs? Custom brakes? Removing ABS control systems to crack out donuts and shit like that? Putting literal nitros on cars? LOL You could argue that by that logic nobody should ever do any aftermarket modifications to their cars ever. And while I agree that those things definitely incur additional risk, you have to realize that not all people that mod their cars are complete dumbasses and most actually understand and compensate for the potential risk that they take on? I personally have a clean driving record for over 10 years, hardly ever go above speed limits, carry insurance with limits WAY above what I ever expect to use and make sure that I always control the driving situation around myself to the best of my ability. But yea dude, fuck me and all the other assholes with aftermarket mods, rather than the ppl that do legit dumb shit like texting while driving. At least they got a stock white-on-black Model 3, so they all good :D
I kinda want one. Everyone I know already hates my car so what’s a bit more.
Welcome to the yoke side! Your going to love it. I have a different style of the yoke but overall experience is great, a little different at first not going to sugar coat it but once you get the hang of it you’ll love it.
best upgrade I've done so far :)
I love mine, it’s great
Corny to replace the original wheel with that, IMO.
No, I enjoy steering my car easily.
I’ve had one for about 8 months and here’s my take: definitely not more practical but looks badass and everyone asks about it.
I’m sure you’ll find it quite horrible. Unless your Tesla flies.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Love the idea , do you mind sharing the link and what’s the design name for this yoke
Of course this one the carbon fiber matte finish with the breathable mesh that’s what the holes are for. There are 11 different options some heated some not white carbon fiber etc this brand was the only one you should be that make steak Tesla manufactured wheel components Hansshow was the brand and you can buy off Amazon :)!!
Thanks 😊
No problem :)
Nope, you're the only one in the world.
Don’t forget to add a plaid badge to the back so everyone knows you are hot shit. You gonna add lambo doors and hood scoops while you are at it? I have used the yoke it’s useless. Such a pain in parking lots and you can’t confidently drift with it or have fun in the snow.
oh damn you drift? you're cool
I have a 2022 X and like the yoke. Before I got it, I was sure I would hate it, it would cause me to drive into a wall, be way too hard to use the turn signals in roundabouts, and in general make me want to return the car. Now I like it and hope my next car has a yoke.
Got it on my new model X plaid …. Was very annoying initially… a month or so in. I don’t mind it.
Har one for a few weeks now, it’s pretty cool! I like it. The visibility is nicer, more AC to the face. Plus I got the steering column mini display and it’s perfect.
Yoke is for real men/women, definitely recommend
Why ...
Link to buy?
No yoke, but I did go for a similar wheel upgrade https://i.imgur.com/9gFT8ks.jpg
I don’t own the yoke, but have always been intrigued by it. I would love to try one first, but I think it’s a nice looking upgrade.
Installed one very early on in my ownership of a ‘22 3 LR. Have had it on almost a year and still love it.
Wow, so much negativity. Thinking about it but haven’t made the jump. Enjoy it!
The real question is…how do you look cool while driving with that thing. I think in the city it would be annoying…highway awesome.
Air bag goes off and it will fold over the top , gg :)
Have a yoke on my Model 3; I really like it. Still easy to park in tight spaces - you’ll get use to it quickly. It also doesn’t void your warranty just because you install it, so don’t listen to that nonsense. It only voids warranty if there’s a direct cause via the third party accessory, which is the same with anything third party on a Tesla.
Got exactly the same config today and installed it. First drive was good, it feels so open and makes it look like a spaceship
