I didn't even ask. I have a feeling he wouldn't know anything.
I did ask on the app for my actual wheel install appointment and they said they have not received the parts and will probably need to reschedule. Its currently scheduled for the 22nd.
Pretty sure were all going to be playing the waiting game until the service centers receive shipments of steering wheels.
I have one on each of my personal vehicles. Tacoma truck and RV. Not on wife's Tesla Model 3. I originally placed one on my Tacoma truck which my wife was driving for a bit after breaking her wrist to help her out. It sure helps driving my 2016 Minnie Winnie RV

Remember the 'good old days' when a business did NOT charge your credit card until the actual item was shipped? It's too bad that Tesla does not believe in this good-business policy. Maybe Elon, or one of his managers, will take note of this thread and do something about it.

I do believe word gets back to Tesla from TMC. I think all the talk about the wheel/yolk here is why now there is a choice.

My service center scheduled me for 3/27. I just got a message from them saying that they see my appointment time and date, but they have absolutely no idea of why the appointment was made. That doesn't give me a warm-fuzzy feeling, as my account has already been charged for the cost of the wheel.
It's happened to several of us. The ordering process for the retrofit is broken. Tesla shop immediately redirects to schedule a SC install appointment but does not transfer order details that its for a retrofit install. Had to message SC so they updated the appointment details manually. My appointment has been pushed twice and is currently 3/31 with mobile. Wouldn't be surprised to see it get pushed further if part still hasn't arrived before then.

My wheel is being installed right now. Apparently they do have it in stock! Excited to drive it with a wheel.
That’s great news for all of us!
Let us know about keeping the yoke and any software changes to show a round wheel.
It’s probably already installed by now since it’s such a quick job.

Well they also need to fix the creaking seat, so I have another hour and a bit to wait. I have asked to keep the Yoke, so we'll see. Last time I replaced it (due to be destroying some of the buttons trying to remove the core to install in a 3rd party wheel) they gave it to me.

Ok the wheel has been installed. Got to drive back 40 mins along a mix of roads. It feels great. Obviously it's still bigger than the 3/Y. It's quite thick apart from the 2.5/9.5 o'clock part that has the cutout a lot of wheels have. It's slightly squared off at the bottom. In my preferred position the wheel does block off the light statuses and the speed limit. I'd love if Tesla could move the speed limit to below the current speed. Will have to see how that. One interesting thing that happened was when I pulled out of the lot I went to grab stacks to signal. This happened a few more times. The airbag definitely seems to have some give now compared to the two yokes I've had, so possibly a horn activation there for a later software release? There's no software options that I can see to change what's displayed in the UI. I got to keep the Yoke, no pushback from Tesla.
All in all I'm very happy with having a wheel again. It's going to make driving much more enjoyable for me.

Oh yeah!!! This is what I'm talkin' about! Looks great. If the dimensions are similar to the old S/X, I'll be thrilled!
Tuesday can't get here fast enough.
Enjoy it!!!
Enjoy!
When you say that you got to "keep the yoke", do you mean the shell, the shell with the electronics (but no airbag), or the entire yoke, airbag and all?
Looks like they really are selling out:
Reception kinda goes inline with this poll. It's pretty impressive that the majority of people not just prefer the wheel, but that they're actually going to pay more for the wheel. Another quarter aren't going for the wheel, but that could also include people who don't want to pay another $700 bucks for the wheel but don't necessarily think the yoke is better. A small minority of the votes actually think the yoke is better (a fifth).
Kinda glad to see this; with all the praise of the yoke around here, I thought I was going crazy, But even Tesla came around...I'm fine with them taking design creativity, but only up to a certain point. Really glad they're coming around...now how about getting some nice stalks and center horn mechanisms back on these otherwise fine cars?
