Hi folks, I got the new wheel installed, very exciting. During the install, there was a few hiccups, and they ended up replacing the clock spring module (similar to what happened here: Anyone accidentally done this to steering wheel?) So here's the thing: while the yoke was awful; it was...

Hi there - Before the Model S wheel retrofit became available, I hated the Yoke so much that I ended up going with an affordable 3rd party option. It has served us really well, you can learn more about it here: Tesla 2022 Yoke Completer — Aftershock Garage Tesla & EV Services We bit the...

Yup, assuming it's a single asset with some variations; yes.

If it's coded the right way to allow for onscreen customization in the first place, this likely took ~3 minutes - which is why software based car building is cool!

Did they offer to replace it with the wheel for free by chance?

Looks thicker than before!!

Is this the official one?

I'm not sure I follow what you mean

I wish CCS2 fit the '22 MSLR :( They're by far my favorite tires (had them in my 11 year lexus rx and they made a huge diff)

Nope, but yoke is THAT bad. Worst decision ever made by a manchild due to people enabling him. Can't wait for any reasonable EV car to come to the market so i can be done with tesla

Yup, yoke is THAT bad. This has improved it 300% though. Yoke was the biggest mistake in the history of human > auto interaction. I'm going to hold off from doing anything else until Tesla gives it away. Buying a 3rd party wheel at the time was $2500+

I already paid $600 for the yoke completer (Tesla 2022 Yoke Completer — Aftershock Garage Tesla & EV Services) which ate my budget for the replacement

Yoke is a piece of sh*t - my hope is that they'll offer free wheel replacements once the initial demand is over.

I’ll ask this. Anything else I should ask to take care of it in the first appointment?

Not creak a big squeak

No much more like a genuine "squeak"

I started hearing some loud squeaking over rough terrain on my Model S. The service choices in the app doesn't have a "suspension" section anymore - what else could it be or should I just book an appointment and try my luck in the SC?

I strongly recommend the new Nest Wifi Pro btw for mesh

Do you have frame damage, or some other massive thing? 9700 sounds pretty god damn amazing to me.

The mental gymnastics to make sense of the stupidest decision in recent automotive history is just baffling. It's horrible, it's terrible, it's unexplainable. If it was a drive-by-wire system; all of this would be different. But it REALLY is just another, shittier shape for a steering wheel...

If you're living in a rural/suburban area - and you're just going through suburban roads - you're likely gonna be having a D- experience but still passes. Yoke completely fails on where modern humanity lives - cities. I live in a house with an alley, getting out of my garage is a min 3-point...

I have, rears are wider. 255/45R19 front tires and 285/40R19 rear tires

I have 19 too and no, rears are wider

This is great! I really enjoy the small wheel of 3/y - and getting something a bit larger, but smaller than the truck-like wheels of previous S's is great. Do you know what the previous (12-20) s wheel dimensions were?

Great! You don't have to. For all the rest of us, this should have been how a the $100k+ car was launched

It is a flat bottom?

You mean the one that opens or the current unopenable pano

Nope, the other way around

The problem remains that CC2's which are my favorite tires and are on every other car I have (or had since they came out) don't fit the width of these wheels. So i'd have to get a new set of wheels that are narrower (although I did not see an option to do that on tirerack even when buying new...

Ah that sounds good. I guess width doesn't make that much of a difference. I'll probably do this when it's time to switch tires unless cross climate comes in the right sizes by then

So so so happy about the yoke. Cannot wait. Can fing not

How much did that run you? Also as someone who loved cars and had them for 20 years, I never replaced wheels - what happens once you do that? Are there a bunch of updates / alignments you have to do (e.g. changing odometer calculations etc.)

I have found none in my area offers to do this. Perhaps I need to think about the suburbs or more rural ones?

How do you get them to be put on Model S LR? Checking Michelin's webpaage, or tirerack seems to suggest that I can't do these on my '22 LRs?

Where do you keep an extra set of tires when you don't need them? I live in a very urban city - no way to do that in a reasonable way

Sorry to hear! Can you tell us what kind of tires were on the car? Summers?

I'm sorry if I came off as dumb/tech-illiterate. What I saw was the first attachment - no way to type anything. I had to call them and stay on line for 56 minutes for them to "close it in the backend". L1 tech couldn't do it, had to escalate. Insane.

This is what I see in the Service screen

Hello folks - just trying to get some help with the app. It's stuck with an "OLD" appointment from a month ago; which means I can't open a new service request However, when I click on the "old" upcoming appointment, this page is what I see. What do I do? I couldn't find any way to reach Tesla...

All of it - including rattles - I cannot wait for my R1S. It's still showing '24 though :(

I did also get my windshield replaced (just once) and yeah, the distortion is there still. At least it moved to the passenger side, so I'm not going insane / crazy anymore. Cannot wait for my R1S or id.buzz

With the yoke, and terribly frustrating customer service - I just want _any other reasonable EV_ as my next car. However, the regular updates ("the cute stuff" as mentioned above); the range, and the existing state of tech -> the competition is simply too far behind. Rivian is likely the most...

It's crazy to me that you write about this so often, but your car doesn't even make the noise... Man that's strange

You were happily saying "Fix it Elon" as if he's capable of anything except incendiary, dangerous social commentary. But yes, try him and the Tesla account.

Please write to your service tech, and or on Twitter for awareness.

Please let Tesla know you have the issue too. The way most tech companies works is just be loud until someone's making it a priority

Oh with your complaining, I thought you were part of our Buzz situation lol

Oh that's a bummer to hear. I'll keep you posted next week.

Had the service tech come out and say "the sound is normal" and when I said it started after an update; he said "weird isn't it" Then he proceeded to destroy my wood trim as he was fixing a window rattle. He was a nice person / guy; but what a shitty day; and the damn buzz is OF COURSE still...

Ooooh! Interesting I will bring this up. Thank you @Alset818
