Agree with you that going back to normal wheel makes it a lot harder to see the drivers infotainment display. Just can’t give up my Yoke as long as I own a Tesla.

Yoke peeling
- Thread starter Andy L
- Start date
I had some concerns about the driver's display based upon what I had read but I can honestly say that the wheel blocks none of the display for me. I am 5'9'' so I am not sure if I am in the sweet spot to see it or what but I was able to adjust the new wheel perfectly to see everything.
Hand placement is different but I have no more difficulty using the turn signals that I did previously. In my opinion, the turn signals/horn placement and implementation was poor on the yolk and that hasn't changed on the wheel.

The H version is current pealing version. I think the new letter will be "I". H is being pug on but is not the new material. See this post
Yoke peeling
As @uscbucsfan says below you, that is exactly what happened to me yesterday. Closer service center said no replacement wheel under warranty for my peeling yoke. They said Tesla doesn't do this for anyone and anyone that says differently on owner's groups/the internet is lying. I make an appt...

I have a 2022 Tesla model X with the yoke steering wheel
The original Yoke started to peel and was replaced replaced by Tesla for free with the new model G version Yoke
This yoke lasted approx 3000 miles and this yoke has started to peel again
I decided to get the Italian Napa Leather wrapped yoke from RPM
It cost me $699 and I give RPM my Yoke steering part exchange
I cannot be bothered getting another Yoke from Tesla when I know it will not last long
I cannot believe Tesla would install such a crap quality yoke steering wheel on an expensive car

I’m going to be doing the same thing, appointment for early December. No doubt it’s total user preference and I actually really enjoy the yoke (less arm strain, more visibility, etc). However, these constant delays make me feel like even the next revision will not fix this issue long term. Tesla is also charging for the yoke on a new S/X. I’m also hoping that the wheel will be more engaging for spirited driving, cornering with the yoke is not ideal.
Had the wheel for a couple weeks now. Love it. No hate on the yoke but I wouldn't ever go back without variable steering ratio like the CT.
Had my yoke replaced with a new one. I tried several different ways to get them to replace it with a round one and they wouldn't budge. I ordered a round wheel and am getting it installed next week at which point i'll be selling the 2 week old yoke i have now.

Even with the steer by wire and variable ratio I’m still taking the wheel. It’s actually astounding that abomination even made it to production.

A friend with Plaid called to ask what I had done. He is on Yoke #3, and Tesla has told him that the next one will cost him...even though the person told him that they are having serious quality problems on the yoke. He is not happy, but not willing to change to a wheel...which is apparently the only solution that Tesla has. This is insane customer service.

I put this on my yoke to get me by until the new version is available.
It’s Alcanterra, and it is actually very nice and easy to install.
