Can a heated steering wheel be installed on a 2018 P3D?

[joebruin77]

Although I love my 2018 P3D, I do wish it had a heated steering wheel. I know some of the most recent Model 3's come with heated steering wheels. Does anyone know if it is possible to have a heated steering wheel installed on a 2018 Model 3 like mine? If so, has anyone had this done and roughly how much does it cost?

Thank you,

This has been discussed in a myriad of posts. Online as well. Apparently it is a major undertaking at minimum. Requires full changes in electrical harnesses and electronics etc. Can’t remember all the deets but it’s out there. I have a 2018 P3D+ and would love the same however after research I’ve gleaned it’s either not really doable or too involved.
Someone has asked if Tesla would eventually offer a retrofit kit and apparently they won’t. YMMV.

I would expect it'd also need your vehicle config to be updated (by Tesla, unless you've hacked into your computer) to reflect you have that option to expose the controls in software.

Park your car outside the Valley heat, you’ll get your heated steering wheel.

Fitted? Yes (I’ve got one)

Working? No.

I managed to get a SC tech to show me all the options my car has, and he was able to show me that the heated steering wheel option was “DISABLED”. He was unable to see a way to change it with the interface he had.
