Yoke peeling

[terranx]

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

Officially it's not. But I have to wonder if the only reason is because the old airbag doesn't have the horn symbol

Mobile service is coming tomorrow for mine, will update with pics of the updated yoke!

I believe @Muzzman1 just got his installed, and will hopefully chime in with his feelings.

It happened that I had an appt today for a squeaky seat, (resolved) and @WilliamG mentioned to me on last friday about the new yoke TSB, so I messaged my SC about it. They had it in stock and were able to install it today. (same day service) Woot!
It feels like it has maybe 1mm less sponge to it, surface texture feels pretty much identical. Sewed seam is less obtrusive than expected, but the peripheral seam is not as nice as the previous no seam on the old yoke, but a trade off Im willing to accept for a central horn.

Old yoke for reference

I wonder what makes this new yoke better, then. Materials appear the same, though of course the new stitching area is... well, new.

@Chrgdup are you in san francisco? The SF SC appointment I had for wednesday was canceled because they said they didnt have the new yoke materials in yet.

So same yoke, they simply sent the old ones back and added a cover. Works for me. Who will be the first one to cut the stitches open to see if it’s a used peeled yoke. lol I kid.

I just received confirmation from mobile service that they have the parts in stock and will be doing the swap tomorrow.

On the new yoke, do you have TACC following distance adjustment on the right scroll wheel when pushing it left and right?

Almost certainly not. Don’t expect any other changes.

Do you enjoy ruining people's dreams?

Are we getting yokes swapped purely for peeling? Or are they accepting requests to get yokes swapped if you want the center horn? Guessing if the latter, it is a paid swap.

It’s probably not impossible to encourage your yoke to peel if it hasn’t already..

Those of us with wheels probably have to pay though since they’re resistant to peeling

Funny you should bring that up. I wonder if we will see wheels with a center horn button. Or, is that already happening. I really have not been paying much attention to this lately.

They verified my Yoke swap tomorrow too. Hopefully, this will fix the peeling Yoke issue.

2024 cars have been shipping with them. The parts are in the EPC and the old parts are actually no longer listed. I'm sure the retrofit is doable if you can convince Tesla to do it. I imagine it'll be officially offered at some point.

My car is FSD, so I dont usually use TACC, but next drive I will check for you.

The TSB only mentions peeling. I would imagine you have to pay otherwise.

Nice to see the worm still appears.

Don’t even notice it and never would bother me if I did. I do notice Yoke peeling though!
