So my rev C yoke and airbag were swapped out with rev E tire and airbag. I wonder if that will allow me to have the center horn on my earlier car.

My rev E is being replaced with a rev F next week. I'm hoping for some physical difference such as the airbag being 'pressable'.

 

[n2mb_racing]

From what I hear, rev F is the version that will allow the horn to be enabled.

I just got yoke rev F yesterday. I'll find out. I don't care about the horn. I just want the buzzing and rattling to stop! My yoke started rattling over every bump on the highway.

YOKE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY PUR(1622612-00-F)

I really wish they would do something about the autopilot "nag".
In spite of me always keeping both hands on the yoke (I like the yoke since it's very comfortable to keep my hands at the 4 and 8 positions), I get constant reminders (and eventually get cut off) to keep my hands on the yoke. This occurs most commonly on straight freeway sections but also with gentle curved sections.
I haven't been able to incorporate "twerking" the yoke every 15 seconds into my driving.
There must be a better way (there is an interior camera... they could monitor that).

They do monitor the interior camera in the FSD beta. They nag you if you look away from the road. And they still nag you if you don't apply pressure to the yoke. I do find that resting my hands on the yoke is enough to keep the nag away.

Unfortunately, keeping both hands on the yoke (hands wrapped around the yoke with thumb and fingers) isn't enough for me to avoid the nag.

That is strange as I only have to rest my fingers on the bottom left or right side and it never nags. Clearly there is a torque sensor there and I wonder if there is something out of calibration with yours. I need very little pressure.

Don’t think of it as having to twerk it every time you get the nag. Try to hang more pressure on one hand or the other to keep a constant turning force bias.

Try one hand.

Try one hand.

According to 1960’s driving handbooks that’s unsafe…. lol

 

[scrapps]

Have you tried some lemons and limes? I heard oranges don't work anymore.

 

[mspohr]

Thanks for all of the suggestions.
Reading these, I think I'll try resting my hands on the bottom of both sides of the yoke. (Currently I have my hands wrapped around the outsides of the yoke but I am not applying pressure.) Hopefully the weight of my hands inside the yoke will induce enough torque to avoid the nags. I don't think having my hands resting inside the yoke will give me as good control over steering as having them wrapped around the outsides of the yoke but it's worth a try.

It is not a "grip of the wheel" it is slight turning pressure against the servo. You can get good at keeping light "pressure" turning the yoke to eliminate the nag. In addition activating, rolling, either scroll wheel will satisfy the nag.

The yoke senses torque to know you are holding it. You are probably holding it with equal pressure from each hand. Try applying a little more torque with one hand or the other once in a while. If that does not solve it you should probably schedule a service visit.

This has probably been covered before, but I found this extra unused connector under the "front door trim decor" piece in my door. I guess they meant to have some lighting there. Strangely enough, the service manual shows that connector being connected.

Holding both hands on the yoke does not work. You will inevitably apply equal pressure on both hands. You need to just rest your right hand or your left hand but not both inside the yoke, applying slight pressure. That will tell the car that you are in control. You might not like this requirement, but it is a requirement.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Yep. Been there since day 1. Probably some supply-chain shenanigans is the reason why it's not there (like the swivel display and updated headlights originally). I can see Tesla selling a retrofit kit, though, given how easy it is to remove that trim with your fingers, and it's not without precedent. Tesla sells an illuminated door sill kit for the 3, for example.

Question: Not sure if it is a software thing, but how do you control the temperature of the rear seat climate control from the front? All my past cars you can control the rear climate control from the front screen. Perhaps i am missing something but cant find it anywhere. Woud llike to know...

I tap the top of the yoke to the beat of the music

Just had a strange thing. My daughter put her iPhone on my Model S charging pad and the car said no key in car. Her phone is set up for her Model Y. My phone (Pixel) was also on the console .

Removed her phone and it reconnected.
