I'd be buyer if it is $1k or less. I absolutely abhor the lack of stalks and my refuses to drive the car.

Just to set expectations here, the oem heated wheel is $1k and clockspring with stalks is 250. Shrouds are 120. That’s just the parts before any wiring or my custom stuff. You can find some of these on eBay but ynmv and heated wheels are not cheap there.Out of curiosity how much would y'all pay for a ready made - turn key, solution that's plug and play?

Thank you, for me, honestly, I would be happy to pay $5,000 especially if that included installation (but not a must)Yeah, sorry, I wasn't clear. I wasn't talking about a 3/Y wheel as I have a Hannshow wheel. I was thinking just the clockspring with stalks, shroud, and custom hardware/software.
Thank you for the sanity check @rhuber. Sounds like my offer is on the low side. Looks like we're talking $800 or so (for the non-wheel package) then? I would do that.
Hi @trymes you are probably aware but there are aftermarket wheel options to replace the yoke. You won't have stalks but at least the main ergonomic sin of the yoke itself can be resolved.So, is this still a work in progress? I have spent a fair amount of time with a yoke, and it will 100% prevent me from buying another S.
EDIT: Nevermind, just found @rhuber's last post saying it's dead in the water. Oh well. Someone will continue the work sooner or later, I'd wager.
No such info that they will do it on 3/Y.This would be so ridiculously easy for Tesla to offer a wheel option, a stalk option, or both. I am really glad they are planing on getting rid of stalks on the Model 3/Y, if the rumor holds true. Those cars are made for the masses, and there will be such an outpouring of complaints that Tesla will have to fix it, and maybe then we can get help.
I am pretty sure I heard a rumor about that around here somewhere. Then again, it was just a rumor.No such info that they will do it on 3/Y.
That's why @4SUPER9 said it was a rumor but I believe it has merit (as I said above they have already removed stalks form the S/X and Cybertruck). Tesla is of one mind and that is to cut costs through any and all means. Stalks are not long for the Tesla world.No such info that they will do it on 3/Y.
All I can say is that ignorance is bliss. You have (checks profile) 2 years of experience with Tesla and I have (checks profile) 12. I have watched Tesla go from a whatever it takes to be the best company to a whatever is cheapest company. Removal of the dedicated rain sensor, removal of radar, removal of ultrasonic sensors, removal of stalks, removal of half of the steering wheel, removal of passenger lumbar support, vinyl interiors, and on and on and on and on. Every single one of these decisions has made the car worse than it was before the change. Every single one.If Tesla was about cutting costs all the way, it would be much worse car than it is. It's a baseless drama.
^ 100% refreshing, objective truth.All I can say is that ignorance is bliss. You have (checks profile) 2 years of experience with Tesla and I have (checks profile) 12.

I did see a thread about that, but most of them look downright fugly to my eye (like the TSportline one), or super boy-racer. I just want a first-gen S wheel to replace the yoke, but I suppose the Hansshow one does look OK-ish, even if the flat bottom is a bit lame (and ergonomically sub-par) in my view.Hi @trymes you are probably aware but there are aftermarket wheel options to replace the yoke.

I agree that many are as weird as the yoke they are replacing. I have the Hansshow one. It does have a flat bottom but that is the style these days. The old S/X wheel had a squared-off bottom, my C6 Corvette, the Volvo XC40 Recharge, the Kia EV6, etc. I don't really notice it. Yes, the stripe is boy racer but it's an option.I did see a thread about that, but most of them look downright fugly to my eye (like the TSportline one), or super boy-racer.

Thanks for the heads up!
That does look pretty good. I think I'd go with full leather, myself (I'm boring, it turns out).I agree that many are as weird as the yoke they are replacing. I have the Hansshow one.
