Tesla Models S Plaid "Yoke steering wheel" for the Model 3 or Y!

The main thing is different! The yoke steering wheel from Tesla's new Model S Plaid polarizes. The part replaces the ordinary steering wheel and comes first in the Model S plaid, the version with a large battery and a range of +600 kilometers. But it is still in the stars whether it will at all practicable and especially in Europe eligible is. The idea behind the new design is to ban levers and buttons from the cockpit ("Steer / drive-by-wire" system). But currently the yoke tax just takes getting used to. If you want to turn steeply to the right or left, then you have to reach around. And what if you lose control of the vehicle on snow and ice? Fast counter-steering is probably not that easy. From Drift not to mention ^^ We find it cumbersome and even dangerous. Nonetheless, the first ones have already Third party providers Thought about how to get the yoke steering wheel into the Model 3 or Model Y.

Tuning - exclusively for the optics

But neither in Model 3 nor in Model Y, the part really makes sense. Because the missing upper steering wheel rim in the new Model S and Model X should not only reduce the number of switches and levers, but also improve visibility the displays in the instrument cluster enable directly in front of the driver. But the Model 3 and Y do not have a standard display at this point. The manufacturer Hanse show but that doesn't matter. You have made a replica of the yoke steering wheel that is based on the frame of the Model 3 steering wheel. There are a couple of options to do this like Real carbon and Alcantarato personalize it a little more.

Installation is very easy, even if you loosen the screws and the airbag only carried out by a specialist workshop may be. And the result? We still believe it is laborious to use and also optically, especially with regard to a M performance steering wheel from BMW or a RS steering wheel from Audi, not as pleasant in the beginning, albeit somehow cool and (retro) futuristic. But of course it's all a matter of taste again! A legal one retrofitting in existing vehicles (whether Tesla or not) this country should prove difficult. First and foremost, the steering wheel must be equipped with a ABE or at least one Teilegutachten to be delivered. This is the only way to obtain acceptance in this country. Without one report should be a Individual acceptance / individual approval to be hopeless.

Is the “yoke” steering wheel even eligible?

The “yoke” steering wheel was initially thought to be a marketing gag with no chance of being realized. But it really could in Europe eligible be. We are not yet sure how the US authority NHTSA, which is responsible for the registration of motor vehicles in the Netherlands, sees it RDW but apparently had no concerns in February because "The shape of the steering wheel is not prescribed anywhere in EU or UNECE legislation". In other words, the “yoke” steering wheel would not only be allowed in the Netherlands, but throughout Europe. However (as of 05/2021) no type approval has yet been applied for or even granted.

Functions from the yoke control horn

• Item 4 Yoke buttons on the right: Scroll button for operation of the autopilot, horn, windshield wiper, voice control
