Nope. It is a $700 upgrade.Great news tonight on the steering wheel coming back to the S/X.
Not so great news is that the stalks didn’t make a comeback along with the wheel.

$700 to get a proper steering wheel that should have come with the vehicle in the first place?Nope. It is a $700 upgrade.
When I checked the site just moments ago, it was a no-charge option. Wheel or Yoke, same price.$700 to get a proper steering wheel that should have come with the vehicle in the first place?

The steering wheels options are both included in the vehicle's price.
I don't see any mention of a stalk upgrade on their order page.
That's not the Elon I know. The Elon I know would come to the realization the yoke is dumb but double down on it rather than admit it was a mistake.Elon probably drove his MS enough and thought the yoke was dumb.
I bet the more likely scenario is that since the MS is now beginning to ship outside the US, the wheel was required for certain countriesThat's not the Elon I know. The Elon I know would come to the realization the yoke is dumb but double down on it rather than admit it was a mistake.
Nice. It's in the configuration options.When I checked the site just moments ago, it was a no-charge option. Wheel or Yoke, same price.
Not exactly. New orders are priced the same for either a yoke or wheel. In March, existing vehicles with a yoke can buy a wheel retrofit for $700, including both parts and installation.Nope. It is a $700 upgrade.

yup. a German reviewer showed how near impossible it is to go through a round-about and signal with the turn signal when exiting (mandatory in most European countries). with the turn signals being on the yoke and the yoke turned upside down... good luck hitting the right turn signal.Not exactly.

For me, the yoke is fine, but the horn button and the lack of a stalk for the turn control is a far greater issue.
YesI am anticipating:
- Single cast Front and Rear body (Production Simplicity)
Yes. Perhaps the 3 is low enough in volume that 4680 can soon catch up with it in Fremont at least.
- Unibody design with 4680 cells (Production Simplicity)
I doubt it because you don't need it with single display. It might be optional.
- Yoke Steering Wheel (Franz design & MS, MX have it)
There have been so many complaints about the blinker buttons that I think they might keep that stalk. Gear stalk will disappear for sure.
- Stalks Removed (Franz design & MS, MX don't have it)
Agree
- Front Facelift (Like MX and MS)
Yes of course
- USS removed
I think AP cameras and computers upgrade across all Tesla vehicles every now and then, not necessarily tied to a facelift.
- High Def Cameras
- New AP Computer
Delete almost all sound deadening and delete double pane side glass to save tons of weight and cost. In with the 22 speaker system from S/X now that the noise cancellation is starting to work decently.Please tell me what you think.
Excellent list thanks! Here are my thoughts

Biggest no brainer of all: Introduce Performance + in addition to Performance. Now that they already have the Plaid drive units tried and true, it is free money for Tesla to put this together. I'm not talking about tri-motor, just dual motor in current form, but with the carbon sleeved rotors + electronics and perhaps lower gear ratio.
The standard S has essentially two M3 rear DU.Just those would make the Model 3 Performance significantly faster especially up top (Model S is trapping 125+ mph!)
$700 to get a proper steering wheel that should have come with the vehicle in the first place?
I think they like to simplify lines. This philosophy alone will prevent that strategy.Here’s a thought, Tesla keeps the existing Model 3 RWD around in its current form, and reintroduces the LR (and updates the P) to a the newer/refreshed model. Essentially taking the Apple approach, where multiple generations of hardware is available simultaneously to target specific market segments.
I don’t disagree. Time will tell.I think they like to simplify lines. This philosophy alone will prevent that strategy.
