Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

4000 km's with the Yoke, and it still feels odd when turning. However, I do agree with resting your palm on the bottom when on Autopilot is nice. In my honest opinion I think Yoke has been designed for US roads.
I'll reserve judgement since the wheel in my '20 X never looks great in photos but always does in person. I agree with you though - if I could just take the entire steering column from the X, clone it and put it into the S, I'd be thrilled.

After almost 70k miles on the yoke, I would do it again. But, it is nice of Tesla to offer an option for those that cannot.
I swapped to a round steering wheel, and find several advantages of it over the yoke, but zero advantages to having the yoke. The yoke is far cooler looking, there is no question about that, but this is my daily driver and the round wheel with a flat bottom is far more advantageous to me. I will stick with it for now.

Im still waiting, but no update from Tesla. After 1 year and 5k miles with the Yoke, Im over it.
How about a "No, I already changed to a different wheel" option? 
I stopped by and checked out the new S/X wheel to see what it was like. I had some questions that I was curious about:
Though I like that we can now get an OEM wheel, I think I'm gonna stick with my current aftermarket wheel for now...It's a bit chunkier and the carbon fiber/leather combo on it actually better match the car's interior. If the new wheel felt like the 3/Y, or moved the horn (or, of course, included a stalk column retrofit), I would probably get it.

- Does the entire wheel heat up (my aftermarket just does the non-carbon fiber parts on the sides)? It felt like the sides heated up first, and then maybe the top/bottom eventually heats up, too?
- Is the horn still....unfortunately placed? Yup.
- How does it compare to the 3/Y wheel? The wheel in those instantly feels great to me...This one, seemed a bit wider, thinner, and more rubbery.

Last I heard March still has 19 days to go. Now if we get to April, they would be late! Then again, Tesla only needs to install one in the next 19 days - Tesla never said everyone that wanted it would get it in March. Still, there is hope some will get it soon and maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones.
Looks like the regular steering wheel also blocks out some of the main center screen as well.
That’s my biggest concern and why I am hoping they let us keep our yoke in case that problem outweighs the benefit. Swapping steering wheels on this car is very easy.
No blockage with the Secret EV Wheel. And yes, it’s an easy swap. I’ve gone back and forth a number of times.
Looks like you see less of the middle screen. The big one on your right.

I'm sure it's the camera angle but maybe you can't see over it at the same seeing through it?
Nope. If you need to see the shifter just move your head. You won’t be going over a few miles an hour. If it becomes an issue for me I’ll put the yoke back on. However I think I’d rather feel safe and comfortable driving on my mountain roads.But please, if you’re good with the yoke I certainly respect your choice.

In that picture you feel the shifter is the main thing being blocked from view?
Yep, everything else I can see by moving my head a few inches. Screen blockage is really not an issue for me. Safe and reactive steering is what is more important. But, don’t get me wrong, the yoke is fun and cool looking. If I was trying to impress a date, I’d put it back on.
