Tesla Offers Round Steering Wheel For Yoke-Hating EV Owners – But It’ll Cost You
For the price of $700, you can have a regular steering wheel without any shifters or turn signal stalks retrofitted to your Model S or Model X, according to Tesla’s website. The option will be available March of this year, and the price includes all relevant installation charges at a Tesla service center. Decades ago, if you would have polled automotive historians about what the future of cars would look like in 2023, they likely wouldn’t have predicted that having a circular steering wheel would be a $700 option.
Tesla owners like tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee aren’t super enthused with the option. According to Brownlee, the turn signals on the new steering wheel will be controlled through capacitive sensors.
LOL I see Tesla has finally caved a year and a half later, and is now offering a round wheel for the new Model S/X, and existing yoke customers can get it retrofit (for $700)
(Still has capacitive blinkers though, no stalks. So I won’t be switching)https://t.co/n0Vd6VxMVs pic.twitter.com/Uz0Aij0dEs

Tesla says the new wheel will allow owners to “travel in luxury,” and “enjoy the warmth of a heated wheel and the touch of premium vegan leather in a traditional form factor.”
