As if I needed more reason to dislike the yoke… that’s just pathetic on Tesla’s part.
I just submitted a service request to have mine replaced again. The first time it came back from service with damage and they replaced it. I have been very careful but still it occasionally contacts my pants while getting in and out and a spot has worn through the covering.

No! If you like gas-powered cars, there are other brands that still make those. I truly believe that EVs are the better choice as a daily driver though, for many reasons.
Tesla did have a leather option but a few years back, switched away from that or to faux-leather surfaces. I do support that decision but in terms of reliability, they need to make sure the new surfaces will last with normal use.
I had this issue on my 2022 LR and I scheduled a mobile repair that was supposed to be just a diagnosis, but they actually changed my yoke steering wheel to a newly updated material yoke in my garage. It has been about a month and so far no issues! The material does feel stronger.
Can you please update with part # if you can possibly? Perhaps Part# on the invoice ??
Concern: Customer states: Interior Trim - Yoke Steering - left side shows “leather” wear. The car has way too little mileage to be showing wear on the steering wheel like this.
Verified customer's concern. Replaced steering wheel assembly with new. New steering wheel assembly operating as designed after repairs.
Correction: Steering Yoke (Remove & Replace)

Humm… sounds like I need to get on record to get it replaced. I’ve started wearing bike gloves to help protect. I don’t really mind but I shouldn’t have to.
Thank you so much for this info, I think that the Revision part is E than now ?
Since there is a ebay listing with 1622612-00-D vS your latest Part is showing 1622612-00-E Like you said maybe updated materials on this revision..
I wonder what my part # is on my vehicle. I will keep an eye on my yoke for any unexpected wear. Thank you so much !!

Especially as much beef as we eat, probably have a lot of cowhide as a byproduct, use it or throw it away...

Had mine replaced in March for tears. It is an "E" level. Does not feel any stronger than previous.
Rev E replacement here as well. I now have more wear and am scheduled for another replacement this week. I confirmed that the new one is an F revision but now that G is out I'm going to delay my service to get the G revision. This will be my 3rd yoke.
Let us know how the G revision goes. I am hoping this gets resolved.
Also how many miles did it hold up for What ever the current revision is on your vehicle.. ?
Maybe someone here can start the Spread sheet and start tracking some data after how many miles of use they are starting to see the wear happening on the material.
