Peeling yoke replacement

[Milan Djabirov]

That stitching looks bad tbh. Like a 3rd party part. The worm betrays it as genuine though. So if I want to replace my 2023 wheel with the center horn will Tesla do it (on my dime of course)?

You wanted a center horn and better material, check. You didn't specify stitching, sorry.

Oh man ... most can't be pleased 100%. To me it's worthy of golden hinges accolades.

To be fair you touch the stitching on the old one on the back side.

Is that a horn symbol on the bottom of the airbag?

Yes, the horn is in the center. The previous horn button is now a camera button.

Seems bulkier too, but would to see in person to be sure and not saying that bulkier is a bad thing.

I have the wheel not the yoke so thought the stitching is irrelevant - want to replace a wheel with a horn button with a center horn wheel (“improved” stitching or not)

Anyone got an update when we get the new yoke to replace our peeling one?

I received Mobile Service scheduling by my local SC for the replacement on 4/4. They expect replacement yoke inventory to be available by end of March.

Thanks for this info... I am going to go ahead and put in my service claim since I have a whole list of items in addition to the peeling yoke lol....

Made my 4th appointment today. I still have my original peeling yolk. I make an appointment every month. We will see what happens with this appointment

Made an appointment for the Yoke and set it for April 5th. They had earlier dates available but I was busy..... So far the appointment is still active and no messages *fingers crossed*

Reasonably enjoying mine, except for the really stiff turn signals...

Hmm I have the same one but turn signals are fine, exactly like where were on the original one

I think it's yoke manufacturing variance, to be honest.

I'm in the SF Bay Area with a 2021 Model S Long Range. I just got my yoke replaced with the mechanical horn.

Is that a replacement, or on a new 2024 model?

Replacement. As I understand it, there are variances in these new yokes. You might get stiff turn signals or you might not. Such is The Way of Tesla.

I got mine replaced today. The mobile service guy tried wriggle out saying it’s working (the turn signals, used to fail randomly). But after I told it’s dangerous on road when they don’t work all of a sudden, he called Tesla service center and spoke with someone and agreed to replace it. Works well and has a horn in the center. All good.

To update on this. I decided I would pop by Tesla, and have them replace my updated yoke. The replacement turn signals are PERFECT. Not hard to press like my first replacement. So if you end up with a yoke with turn signals needing too firm of a press, get it replaced.

Ah, great! I need to be more picky. I might have accepted thinking that's how they are.
