Tesla Yoke Steering Wheel ( DO I regret it?!)

I've had the Model X Yoke steering wheel for a few months now. I've heard it's horrible to use with U-turns, low speed maneuvers, and people just hate it. But I LOVE IT!!

Tesla mobile tech here. Avoid these mods at all costs. I’ve seen several 3/Y’s where the airbag deployed after an accident and the new cover made the airbag deploy incorrectly and even some pieces of the cover itself ejected right in the face of the driver. Worst part is that when we or whoever does the documentation for the insurance company we take note of the mod. The insurance then denies any compensation for damage in your face since your mod may have caused it. Also, this voids quite some warranties in your car. We can see in our logs every single connector you have disconnected and reconnected as soon as we connect to your car for any service you may need. These videos are all either fully paid or sponsored by the manufacturers. And they don’t care about your safety. It’s just not worth it.

[@EverydayChris]

Yeah be careful with aftermarket yoke steering wheels. I recommended oem for the x and s. FYI, this is the oem yoke on the x.

[@Nexx]

Yoke with progressive steering would be ideal but the real loss is the removal of the stalk.

[@flargosa]

Only issue with progressive steering is the potential loss of road feel, since there are more moving parts in the steering mechanism, between your hands and the tires. Ideally you want to feel a direct connection to the road, not a floaty disconnected feeling when driving.

[@tekwiz99]

Yoke and stalk is what car is all about looking for button = distracted while driving (feels weird for car with buttons, non-essential ones are okay)

[@namtao15]

Thank you for the video bro. Planning on getting the new 2023 model S soon. The Yoke is definitely not for everyone. I’m sure practice and repetition is gonna be muscle memory after awhile. But I’m going for the Yoke steering wheel. I appreciate the time you took to make this video and the 100 point turn lol. Cheers and stay safe!

[@EverydayChris]

Thanks man!!

[@_ALPHA_619]

Very informative im switching to the yoke on 2023 model s

[@ghostcheetokill]

best yoke was the one that still had stocks, you have visibility for the screen infront of you in the model S and X and you also get the normal horn, and the shifter we are all familiar with. So what I would do is buy a normal donut steering wheel, then seperately buy the old yoke steering wheel and replace the donut with it

[@dougcaldwell8038]

Great video. Thanks for the tips on U turns. I have the yoke on my S and totally agree that the turn signal and horn are problematic, definitely while turning. Otherwise I really like it.

[@tizintest]

As usual, great video.

[@rickmiranda8183]

Those arms and biceps are huge. That’s lots of power for the Yoke!

[@phillipbollinger108]

Hi Chris, I have a model S with a yoke and I enjoyed your video. The only times the yoke bothers me (all points that you made) are the horn (lame) finding the correct turn signal button when the yoke isn’t straight, and finally, when in FSD it isn’t as easy to let the yoke slide between your fingers in a turn

[@EverydayChris]

Exactly haha. That’s true too!

[@fowlercarlos]

Where did you purchase the center armrest cover for your Model X?

[@DennisA-zp7po]

where did you get the yoke steering from. link please. Thanks

[@shinyponytail]

I’ve had the model x with a yoke for over a month now. I honestly love it and I’m so glad I got this over the regular one. It’s very easy to get used to and looks amazing.

[@ItsameBS]

Took me a day to get used it and now I love it on my X. Now thinking about adding the yoke for the 3.

[@EverydayChris]

Same

[@Mosquito3314]

Im considering the yoke mainly cause, I want to get a front screen and the yoke will make it super easy to see. I rarely rest my hands on the top anyways.

[@EverydayChris]

AMEN

[@stepdad12345]

A few issues with the yoke is the blinkers are too close to the volume/menu wheel. I'm finding I put the blinker on (can't hear it with the stereo on) when I use the volume/wheel. Horn button also(hard to find), high beam has a mind of it's own.(can't seem to leave it on high when I want it.) The Yoke is nice, I love it! No issues , because when you are driving you never need to go more than 45 degrees unless you are parking or going very slow.(then it's be careful time not to scrape the wheels because right front is hard to judge).

[@Dan-cr3zb]

Hey young whipper snapper, old fart here😂. Like your videos. Your reference to U Turn vs a 3point or multi point turn is confusing. In my old world, Uturns are done at intersections to turn around and change direction. Love your vids even though I can’t afford one of these new fangled machines. Keep up the good work.

[@EverydayChris]

Oh good tip! Thank you kindly!

[@tesladura3085]

Nice guns, Chris! As for me, I'll only be interested in yoke steering when Tesla goes steer by wire. It makes so much more sense with that.

[@EverydayChris]

Yeah not sure why they didn’t

[@Mosquito3314]

Chris's biceps are soo strong, not even a mosquito can penetrate that.

[@EverydayChris]

Sheeeeeeeesh

[@JeffMcNeal]

@@EverydayChris Ha ha ha ha ha.

[@goldviper5280]

What do you think of a Yoke on a MYP???? Would it feel the same. Is it worth the upgrade cost? Thanks. Love your Vids.

[@winer5342]

Did u get one? I have an MYP but if I did an after market yoke, I would still have the normal horn function and the stalks I believe

[@evbase-official]

You can freely change between round and Yoke steering wheels, as long as you experience it, maybe you won’t regret it😆😆

[@winer5342]

If you get an after market yoke, you get the regular horn and stalks as well 😅

[@Arkham7621]

Good vid👍

[@EverydayChris]

TY!

[@juantamad8339]

You need a yoke because that's the only way to tell your neighbors that... hey... my Model S/X is new!!!😂

[@beaugayner3715]

Chris- if you wrap your hand around the horn/right side and squeeze, the horn will honk.

[@EverydayChris]

Wow cool

[@ethanallen890]

definitely round steering wheel.

[@ceuser3555]

Yoke is safer though more cumbersome

[@manuel0578]

Imaging having the yoke in the UK where you have so many roundabouts 😂 and you have to signal every time you exit 😂

[@jeff1232]

Holy crap your arms are big! Awesome

[@nickyau1801]

Great Video!!! Obviously Lexus's yoke steering makes more sense with better technologies! I rather have Yoke with "HORN" on the airbag plus a traditional shifter! Yoke steering is fine but no shifter is a no no. Try to squeeze your new MX into a tight spot without a shifter is a pain in the behind. Your right hand needs to swiping up & down or utilizing the bottom of the console to select gear is a joke. Just not to mention it takes couple of seconds to have the gear selection pops up at the console or it won't even pop up sometimes! After the test drive on both new MS/X, I gave up on both! NO SHIFTER on MS or X is the main reason I'm keeping my MXP100D and got a new MYP instead.

[@EverydayChris]

Come on just a horn man.

[@nickyau1801]

@@EverydayChris Not just the horn, it the removal of shifter. Swiping up and down to squeeze into a tight parking spot is not gonna work on me.

[@phillipl9746]

When would you need to signal when already turning?

[@EverydayChris]

Tell someone you’re going into the lane ? Coming out of a parking area? It’s endless

[@mrche2]

In a multilane traffic circle and wanting signal your exit or lane change in preparation for an upcoming exit...

[@LiteGamer52]

2:33 You don’t have to worry about the steering wheel blocking the instrument panel in the model y because there is no instrument panel.

[@emotopdx]

I'm offering Yoke upgrades in Portland OR for $550, one thing to note is hanging your hand on top of the donut is a safety risk since the airbag can break your arm at the elbow in that position!

[@jamespaul1835]

Switched to the Round wheel on my model S when Tesla made it available. At first I was excited like a kid with a new toy. It smelled like new material and felt good. After the honey moon ended I realized what was better about the Yoke. The car is easier to get into with the Yoke. The visibility is better with the Yoke. The way the whole dash looks better with the Yoke. The autopilot experience is nicer with the Yoke. The car looks more unique and futuristic with the Yoke . One thing better about the round wheel is for people who want to drive with their hand on the wheel like a gangster. I don’t do that. The other thing better is tight maneuvers involving quick changes of direction like zig zagging in a parking lot. Both wheels suffer from using the turn signal when the wheel is turned more than 90 degrees. Both wheels should have come with a push button horn on the center.

[@emotopdx]

I like how the yoke gives me better view of my phone which is mounted on the top left side of my screen, the donut used to block the bottom of it. Also, I like having easier access to the stalks in my MY, I would not enjoy the Model S no stalks tricky buttons game!

[@EverydayChris]

facts!

[@Uptownv]

I hate the yoke. I just took delivery of a 23 Model S. The new round steering wheel is perfect.

[@pauld3327]

Don't you miss the stalks ?

@@EverydayChris your videos are great Chris! Since I have gotten my Model 3. I have been a steady viewer of your knowledge. I appreciate it buddy!!

[@sentino68]

NO YOKE (for Teslas). So many things wrong with this. You need to adjust the steering ratio after this mod. It looks/ feels awkward when doing u turns and parallel parking. Should not be able to rotate past 90-92 degrees with this yoke. See how the Lexus RZ450 does it. There is no hand over hand or excessive rotation. It uses variable “steer by wire” ratios to achieve this beautifully. Also during parallel parking or other micro maneuvers, the rear camera display should stay ON so you can see both sides. I have a Y and hate not having that simple feature both our VWs have.

[@EverydayChris]

Agree not much engineering

Sexy

[@kennguyen1594]

I absolutely hate my yoke and not having the stalks. Fumbling to signal is a daily thing and honking is non-existant. I also dislike how the glass roof has less tint. Not ideal in the California sun. My daughters dont like being in the S like how they loved being in the Model 3. The cabin is just too bright on a sunny day.

[@ne0nZchr0me]

Steer by wire would universally fix the yoke

[@OOguns]

IMO, the yoke looks cool but really has no functional benefits. It could be a safety risk

[@CoyKiyote]

I’ve tried both and I think I echo what most people who have tried both say… Stick with round

[@braaitongs]

The yoke needs steer by wire.

[@ablebanner3222]

Yoke for sure.

[@MyGadgetsWorld]

Round is best steering wheel. Yoke is just Poke.

[@winer5342]

Poke is awesome tho 😅

[@kennytinker24]

Easy, just get one of those trucker spin knobs, problem solved.

[@_ALPHA_619]

People gotta honk the horn. Why people trippin

[@tobysrimani1047]

Can’t go gangster, pass!

[@knowledgelover2736]

I think the yoke is dangerous. In an emergency the yoke is harder to grab.

[@JayJay-ym5jx]

Round, yoke I don’t care. When we going to get parking assist again for cars with no uss ?

or they can put a progressive steering to drive safe with yoke, see 'pss yoke efficient', it's amazing only mechanicaly, therefore save 😃

[@RayMelville]

It's annoying and pretty stupid and useless if lock to lock is more than 90 degrees on either side.

Yoke, all day baby....

[@EverydayChris]

Baby Girl you know my situation

[@jaychu3850]

There is no debate…round for the win. The yoke fans are delusional. It’s fine for driving straight and mild turns but for anything else it’s terrible.

[@newnewmee44]

after the yoke, next thing you know tesla will revolutionize the car industry by placing the horn button inside the glove box compartment and the gear shifter button inside the trunk. It has never been done before, but tesla will do it and tesla fans will love it and call it game over for the other cars.

[@armandovanhaaren9823]

You can attach a knob to your steering wheel

[@keithhere5868]

yoke is a joke.....:)

[@johnsteichen5239]

Yokes on cars are silly. They are for pilot wannabes. I’m a pilot and used to Cessna and other aircraft yokes. Want a yoke?, learn to fly I prefer a stick on aircraft either side or center. We’ll have to wait for drive by wire or until FSD gets to level 3 od 4. And the stick is just for manual driving maybe in close quarters. People just think the yoke looks like the future and makes them cool. If you have to feel cool, Grow up. The wheel has endured the test of time. No adaption is necessary.

[@eobardthawne324]

It's not that serious.
