Yoke peeling

[DBV1]

Well Tesla didn’t take long to disappoint me. Just received a message letting me know they automatically moved my appointment to March 14 because they don’t have the parts in stock.

March 14th is still next week! So, that is good!

Oh I’m almost certain it’s not. Can’t wait for the push out again later in the week.

It needs to be pushed so you can watch SpaceX's IFT-3. Or, even better ... mobile appt, then you can watch IFT-3 on your garage TV during the swap. We need pics, before, during and after please.

Got mine being installed March 11. Confirmed they have the parts in stock.

Which means they don’t have the parts in stock because… Tesla.

Wish me luck.

Seriously. Now I'm getting p'ssed. I emailed my guy at the SC and included a copy of that pdf a few posts back. Haven't heard back yet. I don't even like people getting in my car anymore.

and now I'm upset for a whole different reason. I really wanted you to have it done.

Here is the reply I literally just got from my guy at the SC. He's top shelf and very helpful.

Hey Pdubs how are you sir?

Not yet! I do know they’re getting closer to releasing that new yoke though, we are anticipating a release date this spring. More demand than expected delayed the release of the new yoke materials. I do expect them to release more info soon. Feel free to email me though if you don’t see or hear anything within the next few weeks.

Thank you!

Thanks! Scheduled mine for March 15. Fingers crossed they can actually get the part.

Well, it's not happening. Just got a message from SC that they don't expect the new yoke until May.

That is hard to believe since there was a mobile tech on Reddit who has already received some for installation. What is Tesla doing if true?

A Tesla mobile tech is posting on Reddit? Reddit should never be used as "a trusted source" or "a source familiar with". You are right to ask the question "if true" when reading anything on Reddit.

I’d say no show is worse. Especially if you stayed home for it.

Yes, but if they showed up with no parts, or the wrong parts, it's not much better. Ask me how I know...

No kidding. Did I actually say a trusted source? Thanks for letting me know though, as that was a worthwhile comment, not. You can make that same case for any forum, including this one. LOL

Looks legit to me on reddit with pics. Someone posted the same thing here. All I was doing was making it a comment, not saying it was the absolute truth, although I hope it was.

We all are guilty of feasting on scraps here.

Every time one reacts to that bait that proceeds a click, you are rewarding the rumour and FUD mill.

I have to give credit to Tesla for informational security however. The should submit a unsolicited bid on a contract to maintain our national defense secrets. What have now is clearly lacking.

That stinks - can you at least peel off the rest so it just looks like a grey yoke?

 

[WilliamG]

Turns out my appointment got pushed because the rear strut that’s failing in my car - the replacement part isn’t in stock. So they still (supposedly) have the yoke, but… yeah… waiting on the strut. Guess I’ll find out before Thursday if they push it out again.

*EDIT*

Naturally I didn't trust what I was receiving via text, so I called my service center, and they don't have the yoke in stock either. This was after they told me on the phone late last week they definitely have the parts, assigned to my order. LOL. Tesla. Seriously.

*EDIT*

Now pushed to next week. Thanks, Tesla.

So glad I decided to just go for current version. I couldn’t take it anymore with the peeling. This is an obnoxious problem Tesla has.

I just submitted a service request for Wednesday. They sent an estimate with the Yoke Steering Wheel Assembly - Mechanical Horn 1965131-00-B part. Is that the new yoke or old?

 

[terranx]

new

 

[4SUPER9]

I submitted a service request as well. Do you think the old airbag is compatible, given the horn aspect? I would think not.

My estimate has a line item for a new airbag.

This is all very promising. I’ve been waiting for my third replacement now for almost a year. It is heartening to know it’s close. Pretty soon I’ll be able to take people that bother me, (everybody bothers me), in my car again.
