There is some soft touch material that connects to the hard plastic shroud just resting up there. I have model 3 shrouds on order and it does appear that they will connect up identically to the part on the plaid, but with room for the stalks to stick out. I am optimistic that it will look like it came from the factory this way, without me even needing to 3d print a single thing. <fingers crossed>

May I ask, do you also have a Model 3? When I tried to order the trailer brake wire connection piece, my service center was unable to process the order as it is a part for the X & Y, but not my current S (even though it says "no VIN" on the part #). I had to borrow a friend's VIN to complete the purchase.
In simpler terms, how to you order these parts?

Exactly the same issue here. I’ve had to use my moms Model 3 VIN to get parts for this. I actually asked why recently and they straight up said “we don’t support 3rd party body shops, but will sell most parts to an actual owner”, which is very frustrating.
That said, there are so many model 3 and y vehicles in the world now, and eBay has a decent number of these available already. I just bought an entire clockspring with both stalks for $68 so I can make one more of these for a friend.

Do you think it would be possible to have the entire wheel assembly from a Model 3/Y (including stalks and round wheel) replace the yoke successfully?
Yes. I already put a Model 3 wheel on my Plaid and it bolted up fine, but the controls don't work. It will require something to translate the LIN signals of the model 3 wheel to the ones VCLeft expects to see from the yoke. Entirely doable, but not plug and play there, either.
Another note on this: someone suggested I just find a VIN online and use that. I was not comfortable. I then saw that whenever a part is purchased, Tesla flags that as a service item, and sends a message (email) to the VIN owner. Fortunately, my wife has a 3.
I have wondered what would happen if I use the VIN of a car in their loaner fleet. Victimless fib, perhaps?
Sorry I've veered off topic. I'll start a new one when I have more significant news to share. In the meantime, these are dirt cheap on ebay and if you are considering doing the conversion you may want to grab one before the prices (maybe, once this info is more public) go up.
Dang why do you need so many of them?
I just grabbed one in case I end up getting my new S LR and do this mod.
I'm watching this thread to see what else you accomplish! I'd love to have a Model 3 stalk assembly (probably wheel too) on a new S.
Part number is "1097662-00", with a letter afterwords to indicate revision.
As @BPeter mentioned, that's the general part number, but a lot of them on ebay seem to have the wrong part number listed and/or not at all, so I'd tend to search for 'model 3 clockspring' or 'model 3 turn signal' or similar. That's how I found five for less than the cost of one new one from Tesla.
I did get the shifter to work, thanks to the fact that the phone dock's backup system for shifting can send appropriate signals, which I just duplicate.
I was able to get all five of these for almost nothing and have a few friends who I'm sure will want them, so just got them while cheap. I still have no plans to sell or support this at all. I also now have many tries to mess up, I guess.

Nice! Yeah I haven't ever tinkered with CAN but it sounds like a pretty fun project, and if you're willing to share your git repo later that would be awesome.
Did you get the Model 3 steering column shroud? Does it fit? Drilling some holes into the Model S one wouldn't be too bad if not.
Will this one work? Or, is there another one at an even better price?As @BPeter mentioned, that's the general part number, but a lot of them on ebay seem to have the wrong part number listed and/or not at all, so I'd tend to search for 'model 3 clockspring' or 'model 3 turn signal' or similar.

I have no technical knowledge of auto mechanics. If I gather the needed parts and collaborate with a local Tesla mechanic should we be able to switch out the yoke and have stalks and model 3 wheel working on a new model s LR?
Is it possible to add a third graph that is probably more CANServer specific to show Maxwell Cable to CANServer v2 Pins. I would definitely bypass my ODB2 dongle in my hookup
With the help from JWardell and PyjamaSam we worked out this diagram shortcut for others seeking the answer.
Just FYI I finally made a new thread about the refresh S mods:
teslamotorsclub.com
Work in progress: stalks on 2021 Model S. (and optional round-y wheel)
I'm going to consolidate the info here when I have more time, but finally got it all assembled last night. My notes are on the github link but reposting here for simplicity: Why? The yoke is .. fine .. but I do not like the haptic controls at all. I've driven @ 5k miles, and they just aren't...
