Solid advice

Are they? If you say so I won't argue with you.

You are right, he's not in the same boat. He's in the boat of reasonable pragmatic people who understand what they can control and where to spend their energies. Fortunately the boat is big and can accommodate as many people as want to board.

You literally said "show me a brand that does that". So I did. You didn't say "show me a 3 month old etc etc etc". I'm not sure what your point is but regardless I'm not trying to debate it.

I noticed on Autotrader prices for recent vintage, low mileage 2021 and 2022 MYs HIGHER than a new 2023 MY you could order today from Tesla, or pick one from inventory. Interesting to see at which point used MYs will drop enough that it would make sense to buy one over a new one.

For me too. The yoke didn't bother me much once Hansshow made their wheel available which is pretty sweet. The stalks though are tough to add back, at least until @rhuber makes the upgrade option available. In the meantime, it looks like Tesla is walking back the stalks delete on M3 and MY. Lucky.

Thanks @strider. That seems like the sweetspot then.

Does anyone know the diameter of the Hansshow wheel relative to the M3 wheel?

I didn't realize the wheel in M3 is smaller, I'll have to drive M3/S back to back.

Thanks @rhuber, this is great news. I also picked both wheel and stalks, although it seems to me if Tesla offers the wheel retrofit for $700 it may not be worth your while to include it in your upgrade. Looking forward to seeing this come alive!

Merry Christmas everyone. @rhuber - is there hope for those of us without your skill to get stalks added after market? Looks like you are the only one who has done it so I'm wondering if you have discovered something that makes the change impractical, undesirable, or impossible (eg after an OTA...
