Mine also started peeling and service told me that the new material Yoke should be available around July 17th. They will replace mine for free, but they recommended waiting until then. Or they said they would give me a round steering wheel for free. I'm going to wait.

I had no problem getting scheduled for September for a new (material) yoke. Seems they are well aware
According to my SC, the new yoke goes into production on 9/30. I told them that others online said they are getting them sooner and they showed me the global part number which said estimated production date 9/30, estimated global ship date 10/31 and said, "I'd bet some Tesla Service Center has too many backlogs and will be giving out the same peeling yoke".
For most, it's peeling in warranty. I think that's why there's a big refresh coming in September
bah, that sucks. I was hoping that they would meet the July date. My yoke looks like *sugar*.

Mine is starting to peel just a little bit. I am worried Tesla will deny my claim because it is nothing like what people posted on here. I just don't want it to get worse.
Open a ticket. It seems they are being reasonable with it, but I guess it depends on the SC

I don't think you will be denied. Think of any other car you ever owned where the wheel peeled ? It is well known and they are not pushing back at all. Mine is less than the size of a dime and it was a 'no problem at all' situation with them.

Ingesting large quantities of LSD
This is my third yoke and second replacement. Took delivery 4DEC21 and I have 40,000 miles on it. SC told me they were making a note that I called on it while still in warranty and told me the engineers are aware and are coming out with a new one in September. They gave me the option of having the new round wheel or a yoke and I said yoke. Then they said I could get another one now but the same thing would happen and suggested I wait till the new ones are available.
He made a note on my account and said even if I go over 50k miles when the new one comes out, they’ll still cover it under warranty as it happened before it expired.
I‘ve had nothing but good things happen with Tesla SC.
I'm never going back...this is so much better, IMO. Better materials, better feel, more control. I tried the yoke, but it just wasn't working for me, even after a replacement with better material.

I got it from Hansshow and paid less than $540 total including the Nappa leather upgrade and real carbon fiber, and shipping included. It's not perfect, but very close, and for the price it's great and highly recommended.
