Tesla sells out steering wheel retrofit for Model S and Model X in days
24 March 2023
If you ever wondered how popular the yoke steering was among the Model S and Model X owners, the answer is, as they say, in the pudding - the retrofit service to replace the yoke has been sold out.

Musk of course knows nothing of the history of cars. The previous car with a near-square steering "wheel" was the Austin Allegro, one of the biggest flops in automotive history. I suspect the Cybertruck will go the same way.

TBH, it is kinda surprising sales were so good even with the horrible yoke implementation.
But I expect Teslas next move will be steer-by-wire solution as well, hopefully with less touch buttons and more stocks for blinkers and other essential functions.
I am quite curious to see the next implementation, as it automatically adds more legroom for driver / or makes more room for something else.
