Took a few tries... Finally got the stupid blinker... Sorry to disappoint, but it's RED.

I don't think they want pictures of my sexy knees and hairy legs.
I want the old firmware! The visualization was much better. Look on some videos and compare before you update...
2 week old car, same wheel, except SR+. (Have to look up the VIN).. might upgrade the rear seats to heated and see what happens....except nothing says heated wheel.
edit: and we have a foot of snow, and it’s not flip flop weather.

Well, mine doesn't have the icon. The steering wheel is not wrapped in leather anymore, so is it possible it has the heating element in it? And would Tesla activate it on a future update, or we early 2021 adopters would be screwed?
Maybe someone (not me) can do a spreadsheet on what cars are getting a heated steering wheel...
Hi All. First post here. I got a M3 SR+ delivered in mid-Nov 2020 (built Nov 4). It is the 2021 version (no chrome and different centre console). Does anyone know if all 2021 vin M3's have the heated steering wheel (but just not enabled yet)? I'm in Western Canada and it does get cold at times (going down to -10c this week). Thanks

No one knows. All we can say for sure is that any built after 808BOB’s (VIN 902xxx or greater) should have it.

From OP's screenshot, it looks like they aren't on any advanced firmware or anything, so I would think that anyone on the current firmware who doesn't already see the heated steering wheel probably just doesn't have the hardware. OPs photo shows firmware 10.2 (2020.47.101.1). I have a December 2020 build on firmware 10.2 (2020.48.35.5) which does not have the heated steering wheel, so I suspect I just don't have the hardware. Maybe OP's firmware is some sort of special/beta testing branch for that feature? Don't know.

So not all 2021s. Mine is 86025x, and doesn't even have the new headlights (which I'm glad). But it has the chunky steering wheel with no leather anymore, so thought maybe it did
. No biggie for us, since it's not really needed once you pre-condition the cabin (if needed).Ahh damn , so disappointing. Orange blinkers are much superior in identification and safety.
the Y with heated wheel is also stuck on old firmware. we’re in wait and see period

2020.47.101.1 is a software that appears to be on vehicles with the heated steering wheel shipped from the factory only. I YT vid from a month ago showed something similar. Ill try to find it and edit this and add it when I can.
I picked up my 2021 Model 3 LR 12/18. Build date of 12/3. Fingers crossed its an update for us 2021s!

I agree, can’t give up hope it’s already on shipped models, just not in the “production” firmware yet. I’d expect we are very close to rollout, if the 3’s and Y’s with those wheels are in fact equipped.
