Model 3 - Yoke Steering Wheel Removed

[PITA]

How do you find doing rapid, large, steering changes? What do you grab hold of?

Under normal driving roads, you have ample steering to deal with every turn in the road.

On mini roundabouts or T-Junctions you develop a technique where you use the bottom corner of the yoke for leverage, it's very powerful move and easily controlled.

In car parks you can also 'palm' the corner and quickly rotate the yoke full circle if you want for rapid movements.

I'm an Advanced Trained driver and using the 'traditional' feed the wheel type technique still works. Hand motions are the same, except to don't feed the yoke through one hand, but move it back to the yoke as it transitions from one side to the other.

You always have control.

Thanks for that. I like the minimalism of a yoke, and the additional visibility forward, but have lingering concerns about its ergonomics. But I've long since dropped the stupid "shuffling" action that driving schools and examiners expect (which I'm told is a hangover from early police procedures in the days of no power assistance and large steering wheels), so I'd probably adapt. I guess I just need to try it! How much for yours?

A bit like getting used to the square steering wheel in an Austin Allegro then?

My first car was an old Austin Allegro with its "quarteroid" steering wheel. It was a totally crap car in so many ways, but the steering wheel never let me down!

Mine is arrived in 3 weeks, and in mean time I used my wheel ( in car and truck) like was the yoke.
After installing and go for test... like I was born with yoke between the hands.

Was there any issue regarding insurance increase?

Not in my case, no

I would be interested in an aftermarket wheel if it was a flat top and bottom wheel.
