Sadly, no air bag. Also, they kept the capacitive turn signal buttons which aren't great...rather they made some stalks. Very pricey too. Tesla should have a round steering wheel option...so dumb.

People are retrofitting yolk wheels onto their Y's and 3's. Everyone I've seen with a Plaid doesn't like the wheel until they own the car and say they won't go back. I am a bit surprised there is no round aftermarket solution yet. Plus these wheel makers are not being smart they should make the wheel so you put the factory electronics into it.

You also lose the heating function if you have the cold weather package. 👎

I'm not saying the Yolk is dumb per se...i'm saying the option to not have a steering wheel is dumb. Its such low hanging fruit to get more people to buy and easy to install at the factory. Just my opinion.

You do know Tesla is famous for tons of options, colors and packages right? 🤪

Comes down to a lack of competition. If there was a Plaid competitor with a round wheel etc. and they were buying that instead you can bet Tesla would change their tune.

Yes I know. This will fall on deaf ears.

I like the original Tesla Plaid Yoke the best.

I wonder what the view through the top of that wheel would look like, does it block the gauges, etc?

$2,300 is a ton of money, but thats the only way I would buy a Plaid...

I like the yoke (except when doing a 3 point turn) and I like carbon fiber more than anyone but there is no way I’m paying $3k for a new yoke or weird squarish steering wheel, good god. $1,500 is the max I would pay so regular yoke it is.

‘Eventually the steering systems are gonna go to some sort of steer by wire where a turn with a yoke is going to be very different than what it today. Toyota has a yoke coming and someway it will be all software and based on GPS and such so when you enter a curve or turn you need to use less effort compared to today. Will be like a joystick. Tesla will have it too. It be like some sort of super ration gear steering or,something.

can't fix blind loyalty and stupidity.

that's because a) they can't go back unless they sell the car, and b) if one like other aspects we can overlook or rationalize anything. many things i'd change in the LC500 but i can rationalize are ok because of many other things.

i'd put the likelihood of you in a plaid at very low.

not quite following, but steering is changing a lot. first off, rear steer is appearing on more high end cars, and makes a HUGE difference, even a couple of degrees.

my LC has rear steer plus toyota's patented VGRS or variable gear ration steering, and it is hands down the best steering i've ever experienced. so whatever it you're describing, it may already be here and more.

as i understand it the tesla steering is not variable ratio making the yoke awkward (what ratio or a yoke could possible work well at low speed and high speed?).

People that enjoy things you don't are not automatically blindly loyal and stupid. Show some tolerance instead of hating everything others like.
