Ran off the road while trying to find the horn. Aftermarket horn button options?

This is not the answer you're looking for but it's what I would do. Add a foot switch of some kind to activate another horn that you install yourself.

Not necessarily this, but something like it:

Footswitch (wired) | Air Horns of Texas, Train Horns, Train Air Horns

Prewired foot switch 3 wire used on fire trucks and ambulances and other commercial uses. Can be used with any voltage from 12 volt DC to 220 Vo...

Or wire in your own pressure pad switch DIY and stick it on the yoke. It might look like ass and will leave a 0.05oz mark on your face when the airbag goes off but it would work.

Seriously, the foot switch. Try it.

Amazon $20 horn kit . come with two horns, relay wire and toggle button.

Sorry for moving away from the topic a little bit, but, does the center of the steering wheel move?

Early refresh the airbag does not push in. On newer S', it does push in, so everyone assumed Tesla would move to a center airbag horn via update. But, that was over a year ago, and nothing

I'm fine with the yoke, I am absolutely done with the touch horn button. I was ran off the road at 45mph by someone merging into me, entire time desperately trying to swerve to avoid them while hunting for the horn.

I made a service request and the response was basically that they can't add the airbag style horn to my 2021 S.

Are there aftermarket solutions?

I was too run off the road from someone merging into me, and I never found the horn in time either. Luckily no one was in the other lane that I had to start my bail into to my escape. I'm ravenous to find a solution.

The same muscle memory that draws you to the center horn response can be used to draw you to the yoke. A raised decal added to the spot like a stick-on Velcro (soft loop) or rubber disc will draw your thumb faster than your hand.

I think we’re supposed to use the voice command “Blow horn”
