Aha! That's a great point.So, if the Yoke material peels can you get a new round wheel for free? Asking for a friend

Steering Wheel / Yoke option

100 times this. Love an open roof on a beautiful day, especially in a silent EV
The round wheel is a good option to have.
Now if they would just add a proper horn button, and a proper turn signal lever and gear shift lever it would make it a real car again.

Just making the steering wheel round but keeping no-stalk touch controls does not solve the yoke problem, it makes it worse! Since driver hands are no longer forced to a particular position, using the blinkers or horn is that much more difficult having to find the buttons first which are in a different place depending on the wheel orientation and hand placement.
This is just Elon realizing he ran out of Elon-cult Model S/X customers, so trying to see if he can drum up some more sales from people who won't notice no-stalks or won't realize its implications until after delivery. The retrofit probably came around to try to clear the current inventory of yoke cars (hence it's not available to current owners for a few months).

If I could change one thing about my build, it would be to get rid of the sunroof. It squeaks so much. I finally gave up trying to get the SC to fix it after my umpteenth try when a mechanic finally gave me the truth which is that it's a common problem and they have no fix.
(I am glad to see the wheel back, though disappointed to see they unbundled the UMC.)

The warranty amount for the new yoke was $900. So $700 seems like a reasonable tradeoff on Tesla's side. As usual, it all depends on who you talk to at the SC. I've had horrible SAs and really great ones. I'm keeping the yoke. It would be weird now to change it out.So, if the Yoke material peels can you get a new round wheel for free? Asking for a friend

Anyone know what the radius of the "new" wheel is relative to the horizontal "span" of the yoke? One of the obvious idiot maneuvers of the yoke is that it significantly obstructs the driver's view of the left side of the landscape-oriented screen (not a problem with the portrait-oriented screen of yore, or the landscape-oriented screen of the M3 with a smaller-radius wheel). I'm curious how this wheel "plays" with the MS larger landscape screen?

Great! You don't have to.
For all the rest of us, this should have been how a the $100k+ car was launched

The other thing the standard steering would help with is that unlike the yoke, the steering would give an unhindered view Centre Control Screen, especially when trying to access the bottom left part of the screen for anything.
And looking at the images looks like this will be the case with the steering wheel, it's smaller/narrower than the yoke.
