Model S/X Round Steering Wheel & Retrofit
- Thread starter Chet S
- Start date
No issues, been doing it for thousands of miles in my 3. I have a round wheel in my S as well, again no issues. It is bigger than my 3's wheel so actually a bit more comfy. I like that I can grab it lower. I have a lot more options to hold it.
With the yoke there was pretty much one place that worked for me when on a trip and TBH it was pretty comfy until I got tired of that position. You may find other "holds" that work for you.

I'd love to see a photo. The only thing I have even partial blockage is the little speed limit sign. If so much is being blocked, you are clearly the worst case I've heard of so far.
I think you have yours a bit lower than mine was. I also thing the Hansshow wheel I have now has a little bit more "clearance" than my Tesla wheel did. The only thing I even rarely look at is the lights indicator at the top of the screen. Yours would definitely be blocked.

Model S/X Round Steering Wheel & Retrofit
+1 from the above experience as I had my wheel installed 2 weeks ago. I deliberated for a few months as I also thought "the yoke isn't so bad" but after swapping it's a massive improvement in driving ease IMO. For those on the fence, highly recommend pulling the trigger. Also kept the yoke...

Zero blockage here but clearly will vary by individual seating position, height, etc. Even if my dash was a little blocked, however, the gains realized in control of the vehicle at all speeds would be worth it but YMMV.

I just updated from a yoke to the round wheel on my 2022 X. I'm really surprised with how much of the display it blocks. I can't see the speed limit anymore nor some of the other icons. I'd expect them to have that figured out either by making the top of the wheel a bit taller or changing the display to lower the icons they know are going to be cut off.
Definitely easier to park and drive in tight spaces with the wheel over the yoke!

Instead of the yoke Tesla really should have done a heads up display. Useful without taking steps back.

OEM round wheel looks nice. For those that have it, when rotating the wheel does it "wobble"? Like the axis of rotation is not in the center of the wheel? Also does anyone know how it compares to the older pre-refresh model S/X wheel? I had a 2016 X previously and I thought its steering wheel could have been a little smaller (overall diameter). Thanks.
Not sure I would call it wobbling. I think the flat bottom gives you that sensation when turning the wheel but I'm not actually sure it wobbles per se.
That is the same I'd say about the Hansshow wheel. I find it does obscure the dash less as well than my Tesla wheel did.

Not being able to see the speedometer sounds extreme. Try moving the wheel higher and then moving your seat to make it comfortable - perhaps sit a bit more upright?
The wheel is not perfectly round so it will "wobble" a bit. But pretty much every sporty-type vehicle has a wheel like that these days - from MB to BMW to Corvettes, etc.
That sounds quite extreme, not being able to see the speedometer. You might be sitting very high with the wheel far out I guess. In my seating position, seat at almost lowest setting + steering wheel in lowest setting + furthest out, the wheel blocks the upper part of the screen, so I can't see the speed limit. Had this is "problem" in other cars as well. The wheel however is such an improvement drivability wise, I don't care.
