How to change the steering wheel in tesla?
Adjusting the Steering Wheel Position
Changing your vehicle's wheel configuration can impact range estimates, tire pressure warning levels, and vehicle visualization. Only use Tesla-approved wheels when installing or swapping wheels. Using non Tesla-approved wheels can cause serious damage.
If you have a yoke you dislike, you're not stuck with it. A new page on Tesla's website offers a retrofit kit that will replace your yoke with a conventional steering wheel for $700.
The tried-and-true steering wheel returns to the Tesla Model S and Model X. While the steering yoke that has been mandatory since the cars' 2021 redesign is still offered, people who order a new S or X can once again drive with a normal wheel at no extra cost.
Wheel Configuration
Select a wheel from the drop down menu that matches the new wheels you plan to install on Model Y. Selecting new wheels in the wheel configuration also changes the wheels that appear on your vehicle's avatar on the touchscreen.
The life expectancy of a Tesla car can vary, but many Tesla owners report their vehicles lasting well over a decade with proper maintenance. Tesla's battery and drive unit warranty usually spans 8 years or a specified mileage limit, which can offer a useful guideline.
Tesla has added the Model S/X Wheel Retrofit product to its online shop after the round steering wheel became a standard feature for Model S and Model X vehicles ordered from January 2023. The retrofit option costs $700, and it includes installation through Tesla service.
Tesla has increased the price of its yoke steering wheel to now $1,000, which is a big change from the feature being standard not long ago.

How long does it take to change a steering wheel?
The labor time on a steering wheel replacement job is about 15 minutes at most garages. These costs may vary if you require an airbag replacement or need a certified repair facility to replace your airbag with a certified replacement that meets all current standards and safety regulations.
Originally Answered: Is changing a steering wheel hard? Not too difficult. You'll need to remove the trim cover(s) and the airbag behind it, and after you remove the steering wheel nut you may need a puller. For exact procedures it's best to find a shop manual for your vehicle.
Tesla quietly adds a round steering wheel option to the Model S (pictured above) and Model X, after introducing the yoke to both models in 2021. Those who purchased Teslas with yokes will also be able to retrofit their cars with a round steering wheel for $700 at a Tesla service center.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk justified the redesign in a tweet, saying “Yet another round wheel is boring & blocks the screen. FSD in panoramic mode looks way better with a yoke.” Musk also rejected requests from customers to include a rounded wheel option for the Model S and Model X in 2021.

Electric cars are more expensive to repair and insure because they have more expensive equipment and technology. Teslas have a higher battery range than other EVs, so they tend to rack up more miles. More driving time means higher crash risks.
The average cost to insure a 2022 Tesla model with full coverage is $3,007 annually or $251 per month, which is 50% higher than the national average. Many Tesla owners choose to purchase third-party protection for their Teslas rather than opting for the company's own coverage.
Should I charge Tesla every night?
We recommend plugging in every evening to top off the battery. If your utility has low, overnight electricity rates, set your charging schedule to match those off-peak times.

In Tesla's case, it's a T with a zero or another numeral following it. Tesla owners can choose non-manufacturer-specified EV tires as replacements, although these must still be properly rated for the vehicle.
With such technologically advanced EVs, even minor bumps and scrapes can cost a fortune to fix. “It's remarkable how small changes in the design of the bumper (and) providing spare parts needed for collision repair have an enormous effect on the repair cost,” Musk explained.
