Friday 26 March.
Damn it, I've got 909xxx coming. Was quite sure it would get the heated steering wheel...
I have a 903xxx MSM White Vin - constructed on 3/5. If that doesn't have the wheel, I will be so sad.
Do you have the link to the guy in china? 12/20 M3 LR here and I'd like to see if I have the same connector.No reason they shouldn't be able to, I would've have thought.
There is a minor harness change (extra blue connector) but this harness is part of the wheel assembly, as is the controller. From some investigative work a guy in China has already done, the plug and wires that go into it that connects the wheel to the rest of the car is identical.
The wheel has been designed quite smartly so that all of the necessary wiring that matters is part of the wheel itself, so swapping a steering wheel should just function, in its basic sense anyway (scroll wheels, horn, etc).
What will be interesting to see is whether a heated steering wheel installed on a pre-2021 car makes either the option appear in the app to buy it (when it becomes available), whether it automatically enables if it you already have the "premium interior" option code, or whether it just doesn't acknowledge it at all.

I officially abandoned hope that the steering wheel will be enabled via an update for the 12/2020 and 1/2021 US delivered 2021 Model 3's. Stinks, but I just dont think its going to happen. Oh well.
On a long enough timeline there will be wrecked Model 3s you can get a steering wheel from (although airbag will have probably blown).Same here... I was holding out hope but it seems pretty certain that if you don't currently have a heated wheel, you don't have the hardware. Oh well. What *really* stinks is that there are likely tens of thousands of them in warm climates or in SR+ cars that will never even be used.
Chalk me up as someone who will RARELY use the heated steering wheel. Having lived in the Bay Area for most of my life, there are only a handful of days that get cold enough to use it. Even on those mornings, it’s probably only needed for 20min or less.Same here...

I am a member in a German Tesla fans forum and following a thread about the heated steering wheel in M3s so I can tell you that no one in Germany has so far got a delivered M3 with heated steering wheel ... even a recent delivered M3LR VIN904 doesn't have it.Has anyone got in EU heated steering wheel?
The one M3LR has VIN 904XXX, production date 8.2.21 in Fremont with software version 2021.4.11.Where are the German Model 3s coming from? VINs beginning LRW or 5YJ?
Just openned up my wheel, I don't have the extra blue plug. Here's to hoping they let us add it later.New(er) harness, the extra blue connector is for the heating element:
Older harness (see here for example)
Note the extra blue connector on the left.
