This week in our Tesla DIY Series, we take apart our old Model 3 round steering wheel and try on Tsportline's brand new custom Model 3 and Y yoke steering. There are lots of knock off aftermarket yoke options on the web, we've found Tsportline to be the only one whose shape, grip thickness/ design have been iterated over time to create the most ideal contours for driving. It's die-cast aluminum frame, alloy steel spline, and even its heating elements all use the same materials and specs as Teslas OEM yoke.

Don’t forget to apply some locktite to the bolt again, so you don’t have the bolt come loose whilst driving. That original yellow stuff is locktite to secure the bolt during assembly.
How about a torque wrench spec?
I've seen experts strongly recommend fully depowering a car (battery terminal disconnect, wait a minute) before messing with the airbag in any way. Maybe those folks were wrong, and your disconnect on a live car is OK. Hopefully...
Your husband definitely a boost for your channel. He is quite adept, soft spoken gent from the conversation.
I love how Kim Java makes changing major gear on TESLA Great AGAIN, its always intimidating especially when you checkout Yoke wheels made by many manufacturers ive seen and you are hesitant to buy it because the install looks intimidating and nerve wrecking assuming the Tesla will have errors and you would need to go to Tesla to have them removed and they will tell you sorrry you changed major parts etc, but seeing this video has made me more confident to buy one, I have older model MODEL S P85D and want to get a nice YOLK custom made with alcantara carbon matte sides and seeing this video has made that process doable and possible and I can't thank you enough KIM for making it so easy and cool. Using F and S is part of our human nature, never apologise, thats what makes us feel better when doing something complex the first time haha. Thank you for this amazing video. Can't wait to install one in my S. :). Best, ARi
Thanks for the sweet comment, happy to hear that! 100% my goal with these videos to have fun and inspire that most of these projects are far less intimidating than you would think.
Nice. Sadly in Europe it would be illegal to install it... does not have official approval here for Model3/Y
In Germany its allowed
Hello Kim just found your channel and I’m loving it! I have red 2023 model 3, would me changing to a yoke steering wheel or changing the taillights void any guarantees from Tesla? Excited to see what else you modify in the car! 🤩
I bought and installed a Yoke in my Model Y and love it. Love driving it when i am home.
Yup, I love driving with yoke when I'm in the living room
Always fun shooting with you guys, great work! Thanks for the shoutout!
Nice video Kim, thanks for sharing. When you mounted the new yoke, it was turned slightly to the right and you closed everything up. My question is, how difficult is it to get the yoke on straight?
There’s a groove and a notch that only allows it to go on one way. In other words, it’s not like a bike handle that can be put on out of alignment. It was only slightly slanted because the wheel was slightly turned when removed.
Was thinking about getting a yoke too. I have two magnetic dash mounts to hold a android tablet for waze and believe this will help the screen become more visible.
I actually like the TSportline yoke better. I think it has better functionality with the center horn button retained and the faux carbon fiber along the sides was a good idea as it should prevent splits/tearing along the corners. Definitely a great option I'm considering. Thanks Kim!!
Kim, you’re the big sister I’ve always wanted. Thank you so much for your vids. I’m ordering a yoke for my 16’ MX P100D now.
Nice video. However, comma, IMHO the yoke makes as much sense as Pickett's charge. The only thing dumber is the horn button not being in the middle of the wheel or under the airbag.
Hey love your content. Could you do an LED ambient light tutorial? I found 2 types the cheap one at less than 90$ and then the expensive Hansshow for over 800$. That last one looks great but seems like such a pain to install
Which display is the one you are using in this video? is it the Tesla Model 3 & Y MSX-CP Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Driver View Dash & Touchscreen LCD Display (Smart Instrument Cluster) from tsportline?
Getting this RN!!!!! Thx for the vid, always loving your content ❤️
Thanks for the support Miguel! You’ll love it.
Kim the Golden Goose Ball Star is my favorite sneaker right now…I see you styling!!!
I love this setup. I’d like to do both the screen and the yoke on my mY
Yes!! Do the X yoke retrofit, I have a model S I want to do
Awesome! I think I'll do it to now.
This stuff is fun...Change is constant, although we tend to resist it...I have not squeezed the trigger yet. Model S is my al-time-favorite vehicle, however I want to see the new economy design and I'm not keen on going back to trucks, I will include the CyberTruck in my future considerations...Good job Kim...
It looks really cool! But I’d be so scared doing that haha
I would like to see all of the after market yoke options and how they compare.
I just want the heated steering wheel the new 3s have. Is that doable after market that plays with the screen/ap?
Yes their is a heated option.
@@LaJuanHughes how does it interact with the 'older' 2018 models were it wasn't an option. The hardware will just accept that/ update the ap?
I put my yoke on 10/21 and I am never going back to a round wheel. My wife also has a yoke on here 22 my.
Hi, is this an original Tesla yoke you did install in your Model?
2nd: can I also use a model S/X yoke for model 3?
Wow I love your videos. So inspiring to mod my Tesla
Hi Kim love the videos keep them coming
I’m here in UK and going to buy the rear screen and yoke for my22 but your code doesn’t seem to work and it’s a shame as the shipping alone is $200 any ideas on a new code please 😊
Sorry to hear about your troubles. Just tried code KimYoke and it worked fine on my end. Pretty sure it works internationally as well. Your best bet is to email info@tsportline.com and they can make sure to apply the applicable codes for you. Good luck!
Is it possible you can put the model x/s yoke steering wheel on the model 3 highland?
Love all the mods❤
Hi Kim, great mod by the way. Does the one bolt holding the wheel have to be torqued or just tightened as you did? Thanks
I was told by the expert that it did not. But he double checked my work afterwards.
@@ItsKimJava Thanks 🙏🏼
Something I would consider, but not sure if this would be legal to change in Australia. Does anyone know?
Terrific. I was hesitant to exchange my wheel before. Now that I have seen how simple it is (it is always easy once you know how), I would do it myself. Female DIYer here.
My dream yoke would be a narrow bottom instead of wide with the horn in the center and still keep the heating for the rest.
Don't pull my yoke. 😂
Just got mine!
Enjoy! This has been our favorite mod.
Looks great!
Looks good to me!!! I want to take this on..buuuuttt. Is there a place near Princeton Nj that could do this.
There likely is, Tsportline will direct you to a certified installer in your area.
I assume you would disconnect the 12V battery to install this? To discharge the airbags to keep from accidental activation or is that unnecessary?
Yokes only make sense with drive-by-wire so the ratio is speed sensitive.
Great video. Your husband had me rolling when he tried to swipe down on the screen like he was in the model X. Great job you two.
I'm not sure if I would like the yoke shape like the Tesla OEM one, but I would love a squarish "steering wheel"/"yoke" like what is seen in one of the Cybertruck prototypes.
Go Kim!
I had a yoke installed on my Model 3 and I love it! Not difficult at all like some try to say it is. Definitely a much clearer dash!
It's definitely not better for most people! Just unnecessarily dumb!
Did you have to get an alignment or did the steering yoke go on straight?
There’s a notch that it lines up with before being able to push it in. So there’s no way to misalign when installing.
I just used your code and got $39 off the yoke..
The only down side is that I also purchased a set of wheel covers on Oct 20th, and they still haven't shipped it! Hope I have luck with the Yoke.. Can you reach ot to them and tell them to fulfill their orders? lol
I thought I would not like the yoke, but recently did a test drive on a Model S LR that had it, and was surprised to find out it's not bad at all.
Wait until a long trip it's even more comfortable.
Kim you convinced me, this is the next mod I’m doing to my model 3
Do you need to put more Loctite on the nut when screwing it back on?
Asked and was told not necessary
I love all the DIY does tesla service center offer to install frunks and other things
Installed a yoke on my 2023 MYP and it's freakin' fantastic!!!!!!
Got me again. Ordered!
Wow Kim, you could get a job as a Tesla technician! Impressive!
And I thought putting a leather laced steering wheel cover on my Jeep and a magnetic iPhone mount on my dash was a huge refresh for my 2004 Liberty! 😂😂😂
Omg
I want to do both yoke and mini display
But I just don’t know how long I want to keep my car lol
Does this void warranty
Hi Kim! One piece holding your steering wheel on and only five little bolts keeping each rim and tire from falling off!
And a few inches of rubber touching the road
❤ Steer by wire and yoke appear to be the future. Do not understand why people are upset about removing the stalks. Makes more sense to have these functions on the yoke. Believe those individuals raised with game controllers will not miss stalks.
Love from Norway ❤❤❤
Thanks Aron
I have an early model Y without a heated steering wheel. Would this mod give me a heated steering wheel?
I wish, watch until you see me showing that part. The car isn’t equipped with the wiring to support it, the wheel is however so you just have to tuck it away.
Did this almost two years ago. Yoke is the way to go!
Wasn’t that center screw supposed to be torqued down to a specific poundage??
Is it possible to add the model S yoke to a model three?
Watch til the end
Amazing review. I love my MX yoke and don’t think I’ll ever get a round steering wheel again.
I have the same Yoke. It looks great, install appears more intimidating than it is, and it only takes 5 to 10 minutes to adjust to. I can (and do) still one hand full turn mine for those that worry about that.
Thanks!
Wow Michael! Thank you so much for the support. ☺️
I prefer the S & X yoke steering wheel because it’s Digital Touch.
I would like this yoke with white accents.
Not easy to remove the electronics from housing:(
How does this affect the warranty?
It does not
Would be even better if they had a KITT replica yoke sterring wheel. I know TITTO would like something like that.
Looove the second screen for Apple CarPlay.
Thanks, linked it in description.
Think Different + Keep It Simple = freed the Display
Love watching kim do these DYI on there Tesla's. Team Kim Rebuilds
How do you drive with one hand? How do you let the wheel slide through your hand as you are straightening out from a curve? How do you go hand over hand when you are steering lock to lock, like with parallel parking? 99.99% of cars have a wheel and Tesla X and S plaid have a yoke. So the whole rest of the world is wrong. Yeah
This is the beauty of the diy option, if you don’t like it, don’t get it!😮
I really want this but also I want my airbag to work so I don’t die.
@@wolfgangn.2020 diy? If someone is spending $175,000 I doubt they want to DIY
Great video…but why removing the part where (I’m sure) you struggled to remove the center bolt ?
There’s NO WAY you removed it by yourself 🙄
😭
My dad always told me, if you stare at something long enough, she will call the cops on you.
I don't like the yolk & I want the horn in the center of steering wheel. Also I like physical turn signal & "Transmission" stalk. Buttons on the yoke should be illegal. If you need to use the flasher or horn in an emergency, you will fail!
Hi Liam it is jackie
TeslaBjorn just published a video where he explains how bad the ergonomics are in the Model S/X.
Sorry he feels that way, shows you how subjective the matter is.
Was yours carbon fiber steering wheel?
Yes, I chose the one with the carbon fiber on the side, they also had one with an appliqué but opted against that
@4:11
So being that you have apple car play did you cancel your Tesla subscription infotainment subscription
Not yet, probably should.
I think many of us are wondering, which steering wheel last longer? We know the OEM one peels prematurely.
I know this aftermarket one is leather vs Tesla being vegan leather so thinking this’ll do better
cool
I totally get why people are having a tough time with the Tesla Model S yoke steering. It's like they decided to change everything and it's just not easy to get the hang of. I mean, it would've been so much better if they put the left indicator on the left side of the yoke and the right one on the opposite side, you know, the right side of the steering yoke. And seriously, why didn't they just leave the horn in the middle? It's in such an awkward place now that you always have to search for it before you can hit it. It's just not intuitive at all. I don't know why they had to try and reinvent the wheel or something.
Is it “super OEM”?
Watch out…may put it on a T-shirt.
What is the color of your leggings at 4:29?
I hate how the steering wheel in almost every car blocks the gauges behind it. It's such a poor design, but everybody does it. Combine that with the terrible design decision to not have the horn in the center, and I could easily see doing this mod if I had an S or X. I kind of like how your channel features these DIY episodes. I'm not sure I'd do a lot of them, but it's really interesting to watch.
Yoke wouldnt be that bad with steer by wire system.
Steer by wire and yoke appear to be the future. Do not understand why people are upset about removing the stalks. Makes more sense to have these functions on the yoke. Believe those individuals raised with game controllers will not miss stalks.
I wonder why Tesla didn’t just put the horn in the middle on the S/X?🤔
I installed the yoke on my Model Y a year ago. I love it and found that it took about 5 minutes to get used to it.
Lol!!!
My yoke makes me feel like an f1 car
No more warranty?!!
Not how it works…..covered this ad nauseam on this channel.
Would you ever drive a combustible car again after being a tesla yout?
Tried a few times in rentals and it was a strong no. 😭
Yoke with stalks seems to be the perfect combo.
Unfortunately not
It kinda sucks that a $100K car still needs to be modified like that to look good.
100k? 😭 The car brand new is literally 40k.
Model S is a symphony of timeless design and safety and should be appreciated for so much more than just a sum of it's parts
its*
Nobody cares about Tesla and I own one.
😭😆
I don't feel like modding my Tesla too much because Tesla's message is that we don't need it. "We" don't need radar, USS, temp sensors, turn stalks, buttons, 400 mile range, spoilers if they are hard to source, motorized door handles, motorized frunk, etc. Or else pretty soon, we will be building ourselves a new car.
Now tell how I steer with my knee while opening a beer and smoking with that ridiculous shape. They only work when you have steer-by-wire.
Nobody is forcing you to install one!😮
Yeah, I eat a lot between work and home and work to save time. But, hey, there is FSD or autopilot for that, you dummy. Just kidding. That reminds me, I gotta turn those on more often while eating/driving.
