Edit - I missed the other thread on this. Forgot to check the user interface forum. Mods, my apologies, feel free to delete or move this thread.
It look like Elon might have commented on an upcoming feature for the S (and presumably X):
If I'm reading this right all yokes made since November can push center to honk and only need a firmware update to enable. For us early adopters before November, Elon's advice is to just 'mash the right side of the yoke' to honk. As a bonus, we'd also get the wiper at the same time to help smear the windshield and further express our frustration at the same time as the honk!
I'm wondering, if you have a refresh made since November does your yoke center cap move or give any feedback at all if you push it? It seems like mechanical movement would be necessary since the face of the airbag is covered with 'leather'. Unless it's sufficiently thin and there's a capacitive sensor embedded just below the surface...
Also wondering if Tesla could be convinced to offer a retrofit for the older cars. I'm in Florida so I frequently mash the center of the yoke and get no joy. That's a really hard reflex to unlearn...
