Thicker? I really don’t think it is. New horn, yes. Higher quality? Well… my first new one was defective so… the jury is out.It’s worth it. Feels more like a sports car now. Much thicker and higher quality, plus the horn

what?! no way. didn’t know that. ok gonna go destroy my yoke nowYou'll have the horn on center feature when they do the replacement.
Don’t agree at all. The first iteration felt like a squishy sponge. This has texture and a heft to it… but to each their ownThicker? I really don’t think it is. New horn, yes. Higher quality? Well… my first new one was defective so… the jury is out.
Agreed. The texture felt cheap and fake. For a $100k car, I expected far better material. Mine started peeling before I even reached 10k miles!Don’t agree at all. The first iteration felt like a squishy sponge. This has texture and a heft to it… but to each their own
Do they check the actual quality of the yoke when replacing? Mine isn't really peeling (at least, not as much as other members here) so I don't know if they would replace it just because I want the center hornAgreed. The texture felt cheap and fake.

I doubt they do, but might depend on the mobile tech or service center (meaning, it might vary based on who you get). They must be changing these out pretty frequently, I can't imagine they're trying to preserve stock or anything.Do they check the actual quality of the yoke when replacing?

My first did. I got a replacement and it’s fine. If you can switch for free, do it.I doubt they do, but might depend on the mobile tech or service center (meaning, it might vary based on who you get).

I am strongly debating the switch, but I think I read in another thread that some of new yokes might have turn signal issues?
Nice - that’s just the push I needed. Thanks!My first did. I got a replacement and it’s fine. If you can switch for free, do it.
Yep. There were a few reported stuff turn signal replacements. My service center said they’d had a few complaints when I had mine replaced again. You’ll know right away and my replacement really has been perfect.Nice - that’s just the push I needed. Thanks!
Okay, now a bit of an oddball q - When I put in the service request, Tesla approved my appt but added a line item to the request along the lines of “remove front radar”.Yep.

Is this a mobile appointment? You bought it, it's your radar and they can't take it from you. My mobile is in one week, I'll see what the invoice says. I also don’t want them messing with other things. Like an elephant in a China shop, risky and I don't trust 'em to not scratch or damage something.Okay, now a bit of an oddball q - When I put in the service request, Tesla approved my appt but added a line item to the request along the lines of “remove front radar”.
I know that Vision has made it so radar in our cars aren’t even used, but it gave me pause. I have a powered frunk and wouldn’t want them messing with that but anyone else have this done? Can I request they not do it? I just want the new yoke, but I don’t want to have to undo (and then redo) my powered frunk for them to do the yoke replacement.
It’s standard to put that line in. You can always request mobile service if applicable in your area.Okay, now a bit of an oddball q - When I put in the service request, Tesla approved my appt but added a line item to the request along the lines of “remove front radar”.

I don’t understand why they can’t just disable the radar via software (which is what I assume they’ve already done) but I digress.
The continuous recordings are overwritten eventually.Camera button. So you can take a picture? Why would you want to take a picture when all the cameras are running all the time? Sounds like a waste of a good button?
No, no ... no. The camera button shows the cameras on the screen.Camera button. So you can take a picture? Why would you want to take a picture when all the cameras are running all the time? Sounds like a waste of a good button?
It’s not listed as mobile (it pegged to a new service center that I haven’t been to but which has way more availability than my usual one) which is also what gives me pause.Is this a mobile appointment?

It is something they’ve been doing as cars get processed through service. Shouldn’t really impact anything since the cars don’t use the radar anymore, but yeah I agree it seems like a pointless thing for them to do.It’s not listed as mobile (it pegged to a new service center that I haven’t been to but which has way more availability than my usual one) which is also what gives me pause.
I may just message them and ask them to take off that line, as I don’t want to deal with all of that for a yoke change. Would be curious if they added it to your mobile appt (if they didn’t, I’m definitely having them remove it from mine). Agree completely that they shouldn’t be touching it since I bought the vehicle with it.
Didnt HW4 add radar? Why would they remove it but also add it to newer cars?It is something they’ve been doing as cars get processed through service. Shouldn’t really impact anything since the cars don’t use the radar anymore, but yeah I agree it seems like a pointless thing for them to do.
Technically yes, but it’s not actually used for anything so far. Non S/X cars with HW4 don’t get radar either, so it seems unlikely they plan to use itDidnt HW4 add radar? Why would they remove it but also add it to newer cars?
I think they should add the ability to make it customizable since it's really not that useful now.No it just brings up the camera display when you press it. I suspect the intention was to make bringing up the front facing camera more easily, but since Tesla seemingly decided not to roll that feature out to anything but the cybertruck, the button just seems oddly placed.
Marginally more useful probably would have been for it to function as a dashcam trigger. Or just make it completely customizable.
