2021 Refreshed Model S - steering wheel yolk material peeling off?

[boonedocks]

So I had the rev G yoke installed today.

1: material feels different or thicker. NOPE!! Placebo affect.
2: new car smell NOPE!! Placebo affect.
3. haptic feedback buzz compared to my OG 2021 Yoke ANNOYING!!
4: airbag cover being a horn with a future software update 95% YES. At least the mechanics appear to be there.

Agree on all points with my rev G yoke also. Waiting to see how well this one holds up and for the airbag horn.

Why do you think that the airbag cover is a horn?

To be honest, I think all Tesla models suffer from this issue

Having my yoke replaced tomorrow. Same'ole story as everyone else. (Maybe if the "HOLD THE YOKE" warning didn't pop up so often it would last longer).

I am scheduled for a rev G as well. Does the center portion / air bag etc stay with the car or is part of the yoke replacement. Curious about the horn possibility as well.View attachment 860274

That material looks similar to my dads 2001 Chevy Silverado steering wheel. Cheap as heck.

Has Tesla been charging to replace these? I just had a service tech tell me that the damage is normal wear and tear not covered under warranty.

The Tech lied to you, tesla has been replacing them under warranty at no charge

That service tech is an idiot. Most SC seem to be replacing these under warranty.

Mobile Service replaced mine 2 days ago - no charge warranty work

 

[FSDIN2020!]

I pushed back and they are replacing it under warranty. Thanks all.

Tesla service technician just left my house. He was here for a software issue and to replace the peeling yolk. I was told that I would only be given one free replacement due to the fact that in the next few months a new and improved yoke will be available and provided to replace the defective product.

I will also add that the yolk replacement that was done today was free of charge.

Maybe the new and improved one will be a wheel with normal horn

Got my yoke replaced today also for same issue

i was told the same thing last month and decided to wait. It seems this will take a further while.

Same issue here at 10,000 miles on my 2022 X. I too wish we just had regular leather as it’s likely a byproduct of beef production and is much more durable. The vegan leather feels cheap that they used.

Hoping for a replacement that might have airbag horn at least!

So about 6 months ago I had my yoke replaced due to it peeling and now I’ve got the same thing happening again. Here’s a screen shot of my interaction with mobile. Take it for what you will…

"Larger leather" ... I wonder what that means.

Bigger cows?


I am on my third yoke. First two delaminated and were replaced by Tesla. This one has been on for quite some time and is looking good still - no signs of wear. Cannot find the revision number.

What in the heck do YOU do to your yoke to have had 3? .
