Just got back from service for new yoke. Feels better, beefier? The buttons also feel better and there is more tactile response to the turn signals. Airbag is horn, old horn button brings up the rear and side repeater cameras. Finally, I have said goodbye to wormy the yoke worm.

Awesome! My mobile appointment is next week Tuesday.
For what reason are you in service mode?
I noticed your drive indicators are lighted below thr phone charge dock. Are they on because you're in service mode?

The buttons should feel identical. Any differences you feel are variances in manufacturing tolerances. My first mechanical-horn yoke replacement was nearly impossible to activate the turn signals on, and my current one feels identical to the 2021 and 2022 Plaids I've had. Also, the worm is still there, so not sure why you say you've said goodbye?

Probably less noticeable than the last yoke. Unlike seat wrinkles, one can learn to ignore the worm in certain light.

Not sure I understand the question, but in any case if they're peeling, Tesla will replace them under warranty.
I guess my question is, if previous owner had them replaced under warranty already, will they replace again?

I have seen on this forums cases where the yoke has been replace more than once. Tesla will replace under warranty if its peeling once more.

Yes they should do. Up to now all the prior yokes are (eventually) faulty it seems, depending on the conditions.

The left bat horn on my 2022 Yoked MSLR started with a pimple at a year and a half of age. It is now more than an inch round and now the right bat horn is affected. It looks like it's melting and the material has been pushed to the side causing wrinkles.
Mobile appointment tomorrow for replacement.

When the side mirrors are closed, I can see this area clearly. I give it a rub every now and again, but no pimple yet. Fingers Crossed!

Tesla mobile service waranty replaced the peeling yoke on my 2022 MSLR. It took just 20 minutes. He pulled off the cover under the hood and powered down the car by disconnecting a connector. A couple of pushes through the side of the old yoke, disconnect a cable and the old airbag was out. Pull the steering wheel nut off and wiggle the old yoke off. New yoke pushed on and tightened down then connect and push on new airbag. Then turn car back on, connect to his computer, turn off service mode, test it out .... nice! Just one hick up, his pants were dirty and left marks on the seat. No worries, he said he has cleaner, but I cleaned it off very easily. Does any other car maker do mobile service .... very awesome.

If your Yoke is peeling, due to poor construction, they will replace it at no charge.
If your Yoke is not peeling, and you just want the new horn location, you will have to pay.
They told me that I would qualify for a one time replacement. I could get it replaced immediately (6 Mos ago) for free, or wait till a replacement came out, and they would replace it then. Did not want to replace one bad part, with another bad part.

Stop being careful?
Honestly, you can probably get it to peel if you just rub hard somewhere (that's what she said?)
