For almost 2 months, I've been watching this video to hype myself up to get a yoke for my Model 3. Decided to buy the yoke in the middle of January and it finally came in today. After installing it and using it for a few hours, I absolutely love it! It feels more comfortable than a normal wheel, and makes one-handed driving easier than before (for me personally). Definitely appreciate you for this video. Followed all of your steps and installed it smoothly 👍

Very curious how the yoke works if driving with your elbow on the door and the left “nub” between your pointer and middle finger with thumb down. I hope that makes sense but this is how I drive most of the time. The steering wheel is basically between my pointer and middle finger, with my pointer finger resting on the left spoke and thumb on lower section of the wheel around the 8 o’clock position. Thanks for this video though, been really thinking about getting the yoke for my Model 3.

@CYBRLFT

2 жыл бұрын

That sounds very similar to how I cruise around most of the time. Elbow resting on the arm rest in the door, left hand resting with my index finger on the left spoke, thumb down below it. It's incredibly comfortable driving like that. The thicker form of the yoke just makes it feel even better in my opinion. It's been an incredible experience in the time I've had it. Glad you liked the video!

You don't need to torque it to hell and back, you might shear the bolt head if you do. Instead, use medium strength thread locker for the steering wheel bolt before tightening to the torque spec given in the service manual on Tesla's service website.

In a scenario like that, the control being a wheel or a yoke would likely make no difference. If anything you might be more protected by the wider yoke.

hey, thanks for the video, i have my new yoke-ish stlye wheel and am googling and watching as many vids as possible on how to install. Why did your horn go off as this was the only video I found that did that and what did you do to stop it?

@CYBRLFT

Жыл бұрын

That’s awesome! Yeah I’ve installed about 4 yokes now for people near me. The horn went off for me because the center airbag component got stuck on the metal spring bracket and was compressed. I couldn’t get it to pop loose again so I did the tried and true method of hitting it to pop it free 🤣 My yoke was my first time installing one, now I’m basically a pro. I’m a mechanic by trade.

Anxiety is completely understandable. I was too. I spoke to tesla service to make sure it was cool my car was already out of warranty though. I’d recommend talking to tesla just to dot your i’s and cross your T’s. Aside from that the install is really simple. My videos helped a lot of people and there are quite a few others. Ultimately if you’re uncomfortable maybe find someone to install. There’s added expense to that I’d imagine but an option. Are you in San Diego by any chance? Once I had all the tools I was missing it was honestly super easy.

It is quite a bit easier to rest my hand on the wheel which definitely prevents the nag. Absolutely. The yoke is quite a bit heftier at the 9 and 3 position which helps. But that has also led to more frequent unintentional FSD disengagements. Not too bad though.
