Yet Tesla doesn't yet offer this as an option.
Now who begged Tesla to offer a Yoke in place of the steering wheel before this was announced? I don't recall a single person in all of social media ever suggesting it. My opinion is that those who now say they prefer it over a round wheel would go for anything Tesla tells them they want before they knew they wanted it. These people would probably say they prefer square wheels if Tesla told them to want square wheels.
Notice that Tesla hasn't made any sales pitch describing why the Yoke is superior to a steering wheel.
Maybe Tesla really wants to kill off the MS and MX by offering dumb stuff ( IMO ) that no one has wanted. They can claim that sales fell off a cliff for these cars and are now discontinued.
How many of the 79 Yokesters actually ordered the S with a Yoke?

I may have missed something, but what are the safety benefits? just curiousChange is hard. Imagine all the other legacy manufacturers are watching intently to see if Tesla can pull off this yoke design. Has lots of safety, visual and packaging benefits.
agreed...but I hope there won't be any snapped neck because of no rim on the wheelFace will not hit the steering wheel rim in accident. Gives additional space for the airbag to cushion.
When autonomous driving gets here, the yoke can more easily be recessed into the dash.
This is something that has been on airplanes and performance boats for years. Gives far better visuals for the instruments as well.
Let's see if the new and yoked Model S has seatbelts. With Elon's laser focus on profit, I could see 5 seatbelts per car to be a significant cost saving.on a separate note, while brilliant, sometimes Elon REALLY talks out of his behind..
On the most recent Rogan podcast interview, Elon stated that with "airbag tech today, seatbelts are useless/serve no purpose".
I remember an adage that goes like this: Focus groups are to research as what bumper stickers are to philosophy. In other words, focus groups are garbage.I voted yoke, but I know that I am a creature of habit. Driving a right hand drive car in Ireland a couple of years ago I was comfortable shifting with my left hand, but I kept looking the wrong direction for the rear view mirror.
I remember in an interview, Elon was asked if they used focus groups like other automobile manufacturers. His answer was no, we just design what we like.
"... my right hand on the yoke, where it belongs, I'd have honked with a fingertip in an instant."If I had the yoke and ...
Yea, I'd like to see you backing out (turned around), turning the steering wheel 180 degrees or more while your thumb never moves. Heck, put your right hand at 3pm position on the wheel, turn around so you are looking backwards, you probably can't even do 180 degrees without letting go of the steering wheel."... my right hand on the yoke, where it belongs, I'd have honked with a fingertip in an instant."
