You could just 3D print a new one. Find a middle schooler if you need some help with that.

Problem is scheduling it, what with them being tied up designing and printing M3 foot pedals for Tesla.You could just 3D print a new one. Find a middle schooler if you need some help with that.
Apparently.
Yeah, I went there. Because as solid as the steering wheel is, I think Tesla deserves to take their licks for those pedals.

I have not driven a TM3 but got the chance to sit in the driver seat for a while. First impression - OUTSTANDING steering wheel. Felt so good - reminded me of a sports-racing car I drove in the early 1990's.

When I saw the OP I thought "lame, you can't rest your hand on the bottom" then I went out to run an errand in the STi I've owned for 6 years and done countless long road trips in and realized it's got the same configuration as the Model 3.
I'm actually surprised people mark disagree on a rhetorical post. It's like me saying, my opinion is x, and someone goes, I disagree. Your opinion is not x. Wish I rephrased it now to, does anyone agree that I don't like this steering wheel?

I didn't bother to press "Disagree", so I certainly can't speak with authority, but has it occurred to you that those "Disagree" means they have their own opinion on the steering wheel and that they it doesn't match yours?
I find your surprise about this....well, I have a lower opinion of that than of your original post. It strikes me as positively narcissist expectation, like why did you post it here? To read your own words? You didn't expect anyone to weigh in on the matter?
P.S. It is also possible those "Disagrees" were based in them, like me, *facepalm*ing at the way you were holding the Model S steering wheel.

Certainly expected more words than a disagree button. Definitely appreciate everyone who shared their opinion with reasons.
I remember my old E36 M3 had a tri-spoke steering wheel, so I googled all the M3 designs ever made and they all (E30, E36, E46, E92, F80) have the tri-spoke design. resting your hand right next to that bottom spoke is basically the same as your 6 o'clock preference, ergonomically.

Took delivery last night. The steering wheel does have a weird feel. Its kinda small. But I'll get used to it.
I'm with the OP on this one.
I've had my Volt (which has a similar steering wheel design) for over 5 years now, and while I've adjusted not having a bottom-center spot to grab the steering wheel, I do still miss it and would prefer it in any vehicle. It's just a very comfortable position to grab on a steering wheel.

Couldn’t you just flip the steering wheel around to have the opening on the bottom?
You can already, you just have to drive around in circles all the time.

Best. Interior. Ever.
And now, note to Elon: apart from Ludicrous Mode and Maximum Plaid Mode, there is still room - for Super Pursuit Mode !
