Model S Yoke Horn Confirmed

[uscbucsfan]

They definitely have movement, for several revisions now, whereas the original did not. The feature hasn't been implemented though, which is more important.

It's not implemented because it's not there.

Currently no iteration of the yoke has the capability to activate the horn from the airbag. I was at a Tesla SC this weekend talking about the peeling on mine.

Which revision do you have? When you press it does it give a mm or so and spring back? My first 2 yokes did not, my third does. Not sure how talking about peeling with a tech reveals the yokes aren’t physically capable vs it being a software limitation. How would a tech know?

He showed me the newest version, which still peels and told me again I have to wait until the November newest version (which he said is supposed to be completely redesigned to prevent peeling, which is actually melting).

There's no button to activate the horn in them, but yes...they feel like they press more. He said they've done hundreds of yoke replacements due to peeling and 0 have any way to trigger a horn from the airbag, he said the airbag and internals are all the same...then he showed me.

Edit: He showed me F vs E.

Did he put a scope on every pin of the control panel connector and verify no changes in the flow of 1’s and 0’s?

He's a tech, he doesn’t know if it has a horn so how would he know how to test?

He's a tech, how would he know how to test?

Its sarcasm.

So final word is we still don't know if some of us have prep for the horn and if it will be implemented one day.

He can only answer questions to the depth of his understanding of how things work.

Yup. It's like a short lived urban legend or soft FUD.

Bringing this thread back from the dead...

The post November builds have an airbag that moves and depresses like a normal horn, I believe the early ones were hard as a rock, so theres something different.

Does not matter. There is still no hardware for a horn.

With respect to the “peeling yoke revision”, every month they have been saying it will be out in July, then August, then September, then October…

Total BS. They are just trying to string people along to reduce the number of rightfully claimed warranty repairs. I don’t care if they have to replace my yoke 10 times while they develop a revision.

There is a new version coming.

Then why modify to allow pad movement? I suspect that the hardware will be there soon, especially as the Highland update has at least fixed that fiasco--but fixed turn signal button location is yet to come . . . .

allow pad movement

It moved?

Do you still have a yoke? Service will let you exchange a worn yoke for a round wheel.

Guess we will need to wait and see if the replacement for the yoke pealing issue will have a horn button installed. Would be a great plus for many of us.

Hint: it won’t.

I like the yoke more. Especially since thr round wheel blocks the speed limit.

I denied the free round wheel change. I consider it a downgrade.
