Yoke peeling

[zoomer0056]

I can add my latest details now. I scheduled a warranty replacement with Tesla scheduled for Monday 8-28-2023, on Thursday 8-24, they messaged me and said that only one time warranty replacement would be granted by Tesla. They said that a new, and better quality version is coming out soon. So I cancelled the warranty replacement service call, and I am waiting for the better unit to come out and then have Tesla change it under warranty.

Good info. This is reminiscent of people waiting for new headlights, swivel screen .... golden hinges. I shall wait too.

I think a bit different. Many data points are pointing to October availability with install in November. My Ranger confirmed it yesterday. THIS one I believe to be true.... he actually noticed it and mentioned it to ME. I told him I was on it.

After 18 month, my Yoke started peeling in top, left hand corner. I guess I will wait and ask for a warranty replacement when the newer Yoke comes out. So, strange this happens. Wish they just used real leather.

Mine just started peeling, 27k miles. Top right corner. Opened a service call and will see what they say. Hopefully there is a waiting list or something instead of just waiting until October and opening a new ticket.

I had the pealing yoke. Tesla replaced it with the round wheel for free. I didn’t like the yoke, so this was a good solution for me. I’ll miss the unobstructed visibility the yoke offered, but that’s about it.

My service center in Memphis, TN scheduled me in to do this but then when I got there they said it was a "mistake" and that no one got a round wheel replacement for free, contrary to so many other accounts on this website. Tesla treats us plebeian owners with such contempt.

I was offered a free round wheel or wait until October for new yoke. I’m waiting.

How is the replacement holding up? Do you still think it's the same material but thicker?

Few months passed. It holds well. Subjectively it's the same material but thicker.

My ticket was cancelled. Response was to resubmit in November for the revised version of the yoke.

they tried to cancel my request saying there will be a redesign "soon".
I messaged back and requested to swap now.
they came out and swapped it with version "H". my 8/2022 build had version "G"

Tesla has recently released the Highland Model 3 with its updated steering wheel. The release closely aligns with their announcement of a new yoke design addressing previous peeling issues. I'm curious if the refreshed Model 3's steering wheel will also be the same one available for the Model S and X to fix the peeling issues.

The 3 looks like a different shape and apparently has a working horn button as well as a camera button.

Maybe there is a chance we'll finally get the horn in the middle.

Were the same people with the november estimate the ones getting a end of september estimate earlier?

My service request keeps getting pushed back. First june, then august, now end of september.

Is Tesla pushing it back or are you asking it to be pushed back?

Where do you get the version number? Does the yoke have to be removed to see it?

I sneaked a peek when the tech was swapping them.

Tesla says yoke with new material coming out in Nov.

 

[morbidz]

They should have sent you an estimate which includes the part number
