Part number on mine is a D. Am I getting old stuff?
I genuinely don't think there's been any meaningful differences between the yoke revisions in terms of material quality.

As long as it works. Right?Part number on mine is a D. Am I getting old stuff?
Revision D is pretty old. I think my revision E was installed last November.Part number on mine is a D. Am I getting old stuff?
I’ll believe that airbag-as-horn when I see it…Revision D is pretty old. I think my revision E was installed last November.
I believe revision F (not positive on this) has the ability to use the airbag as a horn. We have not seen that update yet though.
The revision I had installed a couple weeks ago was revision G.
Just had mine replaced under warranty for the second time. This time it is Revision G. Does feel a bit thicker. Gave my car that "new car smell" back.
Just got revision G and the faux leather is noticeably tougher. Can't say I got the new car smell back.
I requested a rev G for my latest. It was confirmed before I took it in for service. I'm not convinced yet that it is that much better.Can you put a service ticket in for that one?
It's a car of which they raised the prices $25k since launch. The parts cost less than $10.I am sure the yoke was all about cost cutting. IMHO the yoke was to justify no stalks, which in turn cuts down manufacturing complexity and cost. However they went too far and went cheap on the material as well.
Tesla must be regretting their decision with all these warranty replacements!
I noticed a similar issue after getting mine back from a service visit. I suspect a tech rubbed against it too hard. I pointed it out and even though the spot was quite small they replaced the yoke (thank you Tucson service center!). The new yoke seemed to have a slightly different covering and feels more durable. The old one was more comfortable to hold as it seemed softer.
Mine is an early 431xxx VIN so maybe the May/June 2021 builds were a different covering.
Why haven't you lemon lawed it?Well, I'm a victim of Tesla's poor yoke materials quality as well. Left lower corner is peeling off and revealing the ugly white material below. It's simply not acceptable the quality of the interior materials on these vehicles vs. the price point. Total trash. Cutting corners in the cars to fund his other bullshit distraction ventures and expansion plans I'm sure. I only hope that all of the warranty service and parts replacements on these vehicles due to pre-mature wear eats away more and more at Tesla's bottom line. My S Plaid has been in the shop 8 times in 6 months. Never again Tesla.
