I've got the Hansshow wheel, with carbon fiber/leather and black stitching/center ring. It keeps the heating functionality, but only on the leather areas.

Model S/X Round Steering Wheel & Retrofit

Interesting, thanks for posting. Most of the people who are fans of the yoke believe it provides better visibility to the screen. Based on this image it looks that the wheel doesn't really impede your view too much -- curious to know your thoughts.
I remember being able to see the front screen fine; the center screen could still be clipped like it was with the yoke.
***But full disclosure--I've never had an issue with being able to see the screen through wheels in any high-volume, production cars. It might just be that I just automatically move my head to see what I need...not sure. Because of this, I feel the visibility argument is a bit manufactured as the sole practical excuse for the yoke, so I admit that I'm biased. I think it's also why it's hard to convey the sightlines in pictures, since you can only capture one angle.
So damn tired of waiting for this, from over ONE YEAR AGO, but I guess we have to assume that Elon was either telling a lie, or he just "misspoke?"
Tesla Model S and Model X steering yoke to receive push center for horn update
It appears that the Tesla Model S and Model X’s steering yokes are about to get an update that would make them easier to use. As recently noted by Elon Musk, all Model S and Model X made since November have actually been equipped with a push center for horn feature — it just needs […]

The retrofit is now available to order, I've done it and scheduled mobile service next week to have it fitted.
Thanks Olly_, I as well! Will send pics and impressions when it happens
. FYI - if it holds, my appointment is Monday 3/20 @ 130pm EDT. If you get yours done first, LMK of they let you keep the Yoke "Shell" in case you want it for eventual resale. If I'm first, I'll also post and let folks know what happened.

I ordered the retrofit this morning, also have a mobile service appt for Wednesday the 22nd.
While I am used to the yoke and have no trouble with it, there is something about having the whole wheel to grab onto and not just hold at the sides or bottom. I just think it will be more comfortable and even more fun to drive around. Will report back.

So the SC pinged me via the app today to ask what service was I coming to get. Mentioned I'd ordered the steering wheel via the app and it immediately prompted me to make the appointment and the next notification I received was what appears to be an appointment confirmation. Would have loved the option of having them come to me but my guess is since the wheel is apparently being dropped shipped to them, that's not an option if I want to keep the Monday appointment. I had to move the wife's eTron last night and was immediately reminded of just how better a steering wheel is over the Yoke.
Update - Mobile Service now scheduled for 3-25. Apparently part will not be available at my location until then. YMMV
More comfortable, fun and safer too. But doesn’t look as cool.
They just cancelled mine with no follow-on date and left me a message saying they don’t have the part and don’t know when it will arrive.

Tesla told me they keep the Yoke….now I’m hesitating the swap. When I sell the car down the line I’d like to have it in case new buyer wants it. I don’t understand why they don’t let you keep it.
Maybe they use the yoke components (like airbag) on the steering wheel you receive?
