So can I have your yoke?

[@grateful7839]

She is pretty patient with you.

[@grateful7839]

Perfect yoke for a space ship. Model Y

[@curt8806]

@@roadtofsd no. I want it. Please send it to me. It looks so much better with Yoke and the view is so much better.

Do you miss the yoke?

[@johnpoldo8817]

Wow, your wife has so much patience and tolerance for you. My wife would never allow me to bark out so many orders. Please include Amber on future vids so we hear a woman’s viewpoint on topics. Surprised to hear she drives the Tesla more than you and hasn’t taken car to a windshield repair shop.

@@Beachtrader0007 Well said !

[@ForTheChristians]

Yep! The yoke is a solution in search of a problem. Form over function.

[@TOMMYBOY6969]

As a Tesla owner, the Yoke looks awesome, but it is not practical, and should have been an option !

[@IamJRJones]

Hey do yu still ave this wheel? And is it hard to clean, does it get dirty easily?

[@robertholler1307]

You lost me at "Going to Subway." ☺ Just kidding - great video and nice to see the reaction of someone who possibly isn't the type to change these things just for the sake of it (like many of us are)

[@keny8976]

I love the yoke and just installed mine last night. My wife loves it and it's mainly because she can see more thru the windshield since she's only 5' tall. It doesn't take much time to get used to it. If anyone having trouble using this yoke should have their license revoked...it's not as hard as most people make it seem to be.

[@kristelarabit3511]

awesome!

[@KitsTech]

Is that a Crack on the windshield? I'd like to know the cost and process of fixing it.

[@kylec.4687]

It’s $881 from Tesla.

[@colinlee5248]

Awesome video. Amber should do more videos for the ladies as they have a far better practical opinion to driving a tesla than us guys.

[@Wol747]

Of course, being an aftermarket fix, you haven’t the issue of the stalkless controls which are a considerable part of the reason for not going along this road.

[@gregarmstrong4653]

Yoke only makes sense with steer by wire where progressive steering can be implemented. If done properly, the maximum yoke angle could be limited to 90 degrees or less

[@tmty-9h]

How to it take for delivery?

[@gforce2002]

Amber is right, it’s dangerous to drive with your knees! Also, I think we need to hear how the windshield crack feels about the yoke. Windshield crack: “Finally, I feel seen.”

[@CfTesla]

lol i am working on it...

[@richardkule9384]

Those Tesla windshields sure seen to crack frequently. It must be the aerodynamic front end design sending wind over the car along with road debris.

[@CfTesla]

@@richardkule9384 Well i was driving for many miles behind a dump truck so I think this one is on me.

[@nighthawk8412]

I'm very glad that you included your wife in a video on the channel. There are some things like seatbelts and comfort with steering wheels that are different for most females than they are for most males. Also, I've found that spatial abilities tend to be different between females and males. I've noticed most females think their vehicles are "fatter" (AKA wider) than they are and that most males think their vehicles are "skinnier" (AKA narrower) than they are. Here's a Wikipedia page on it if you want to read more about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_ability P.S. Spatial abilities also affect how someone handles things like car crashes. It will be interesting to see just how many females versus males are accepted in the beta and how many of each gender stay in it over the course of a year.

[@CfTesla]

Thanks for the great comments Jennifer. I plan to involve my wife as often as possible on the channel. She loves the Tesla and FSD.

[@bkackman]

Well that was fun. I enjoyed the banter and Amber had a couple of phrases I enjoyed (I'm picking up what you're laying down). I haven't driven with the yoke but agree with what Amber was trying to articulate. There's a certainty on a round steering wheel that part of the wheel will be in the location you grab at any time. The discontinuous shape with the yoke could cause you to have to search for it. In unexpected situations the certainty of a round wheel would be safer. All that said, you guys correctly noted the yoke has a wow factor, an edge, that many Tesla drivers enjoy. Overall this was a fun video.

[@tcsdoc]

15:43 You said you were hungry and going to Subway but you just passed the Subway 😂. A particular Subway? Nice video. I watched all three of your videos and decided the yoke would work for me. The only difference is I went for the Ellipse instead of the Trapezoid. I do agree with your opinion about the inverted Trapezoid. That would be better for people with smaller hands.

[@mcole300z]

I like seeing your wife in the video, you guys make a great team working together.😁

[@tammyjohnson1118]

“You can’t do that after next week”. Lol

[@vaimagen]

Elon is thinking that in the future your hands don't need to touch the yoke hahaha!!!

[@Joshua_Eron_Miller]

I drove a friends that had a yoke and found it easier to turn by underhanding the bottom horizontal bars, using the thumb to "push" while the hand lifts. So, for example, turning right, you'd put your left hand under the left bottom side, with thumb on inside corner and use hand to "lift" & swing on left side. LIke driving at 8 and 4 position. And vice versa for turning left.

[@Joshua_Eron_Miller]

Can't wait till Hansshow gets me my Yoke for my Y. I adapted to it almost instantly. To me, it feels more normal than a circular wheel.

[@jo4285]

What are you planning to do with yoke since you are going back to the standard wheel? Maybe save it for a fun drive? Just curious. Maybe it can make a nice desk paper weight or something, lol, I don't know.

[@kristelarabit3511]

Got mine and i'm loving it

[@parkerfamily94]

How long it it take to get your yoke?

[@CfTesla]

Well since I didn't order it...it was sent to me by Hansshow to review/instal...I am not entirely sure when they sent it. I mean they did take at least a month though because when you order it they go and custom build it then they ship it so don't expect it fast. They are very well made so it takesa bit of time.

[@parkerfamily94]

@@CfTesla thank u

[@nav133]

Great video guys! Also like the screen addition. Doing both myself over this weekend. Worried my wife my not like the yoke 😬 based on Amber’s opinions. She seems like she’s going along with this but truthfully is just fine with the wheel lol.

[@prkchp1020]

Buy the boost upgrade and have her be the first person to use it with you reacting in the passenger seat since you feel it more there.

[@jeanfrancoisraymond5061]

A rule of thumb, a good driver should always position the hands at 3 and 9 o’clock regardless if it is a yoke or a steering wheel!

[@dobbiesmith8314]

10 and 2

[@CfTesla]

Just becuase someone else decides that is the best place doesnt mean it is for everyone. Its all political. If you have more comfort and control in a different place then do that.

[@GregHassler]

@@CfTesla Cody is correct here. Different situations can necessitate different positions. If you're on AP, two hands on the sides of the wheel almost guarantee you will accidentally disable autopilot.

[@jeanfrancoisraymond5061]

10 and 2 is also acceptable but how can you do this with a yoke? All this is assuming that AP is not engaged like what we see in the video.

[@SAGITTARlUS]

@@dobbiesmith8314 9 and 3 is way safer, and more comfortable. You have better control over the car, and if you suddently have to make an avasive manouvre youre more likely to manage doing so without losing control if you have them on 9 and 3. Also youre able to turn the wheels more. Dont use 10 and 2. Racing drivers use 9 and 3, and they even teach you that when you take your license nowadays.

[@PhillProbst]

Ok, so ... lemme get this straight ... you installed an aftermarket yoke in a Model 3 to test the concept? Will the supplier of that yoke be able to offer a "proper" wheel for retrofit to the refreshed Model S??

[@dobbiesmith8314]

In drivers Ed, they taught us 10 and 2…

[@CfTesla]

eh...what do they know

[@wongkevinl]

Not the case anymore…apparently that’s a bad position for your arms if airbags are deplored.

@@wongkevinl yeah, but I took drivers Ed back in 1984…before air bags..

[@takforce06]

@@wongkevinl you might be right, but...10 and 2 is about control of the vehicle NOT about being in a safe place for the airbag. I'd rather avoid the accident than get bashed in the face with an airbag 😂

I’m convinced, thanks to your videos, that yokes are not practical for normal driving conditions. What next, a dash-mounted Atari joystick? Also, what do insurers say?

[@christophermanning9571]

$1000.00 +/- I don't get it , if the car came with it fine but to go through the hassle and expense of adding it on as a after market it seems like you have a model 3 wanting to pretend it's a S. Fix the windshield and quit wasting money on a steering wheel.

[@GregHassler]

You can "get used to" yokes, but it isn't a better driving experience. You can get used to people sticking needles in your arm everyday too. I had a D shaped steering wheel on my one race car, and even that was super annoying and arguably unsafe on the street. Even Elon has said that the only advantage is dashboard visibility. People say Tesla doesn’t do marketing, but the yoke wheel is marketing - it's just making people talk about Tesla. This is not a feature improvement. * yes I understand this is an aftermarket wheel on a Model Y

[@vaimagen]

Your car looks awesome with the yoke it looks like a future flight Deck car with wings ready for TO haha although; I think safety is paramount it should be designed in a way you can grab a button and move the yoke around with it one hand ops 360 d easy also a way of a hand mold in the yoke so you won't make your hand slip off the yoke I love it to have it but seen your video how the hands lock in the yoke is a bit uncomfortable twisted in a cross perhaps what you said about turning with a yoke is rigged so turn ratio is difference to avoid slip off the yoke Not for M3 In electronics all is posible like flip a deep switch will be easy right!!!

depends if you have and and plan to use FSD I guess

[@Wol747]

(a) In your dreams! (b) Makes it more challenging: instead of nominally keeping control by letting the wheel slide back and forth as the autopilot makes turns, you must either keep a hand on the wheel even when it’s 180 degrees offcentre or make a grab for it and hope you can find it fast enough when faced with imminent collision. Either way is a recipe for a heart attack.
