Tesla Starts Offering $700 Round Wheel Retrofit for People With Yoke Steering Wheels

Tesla is starting to offer a $700 round steering wheel retrofit for people who bought a Model S or Model X with a yoke steering wheel.

Tesla did not just implement a small price increase for the Model S and Model X recently. The company also changed the default steering control for the two flagship vehicles. While the new Model S and Model X were initially equipped with a steering yoke by default, the two cars now come with a traditional round steering wheel instead.

Tesla finally offering round steering as an option on Model S and Model X vehicles, which the automaker was only offering with its “yoke” steering wheel for the last two years. It was confusing to some why Tesla wouldn’t offer a regular steering wheel as an option in the first place.

Now it is finally an option for new buyers, and Tesla decided not to leave existing owners behind.

On its shop website, Tesla is now offering a Model S/X round steering wheel retrofit:

At a $700 cost, it is going to be a bit frustrating for current owners since it is now a free option on a new purchase, but they knew what they were buying.

Tesla writes about the retrofit in the description:

Travel in luxury. Enjoy the warmth of a heated wheel and the touch of premium vegan leather in a traditional form factor. No stalks or shifters.
