Joy, great video as usual! I have a Model S as my daily driver and my wife has a Model Y that I drive from time to time, so I've been able to compare yoke vs round wheel directly. Once I learned the proper technique for the yoke, I found it to be a significant improvement -- in fact, it is a relief to go back to the yoke after driving with the round wheel. The yoke gives me one thing thing the round wheel cannot, which is a lever arm. Maneuvers like U-turns & 3-point turns are a delight with the superior arm-over-arm action of yoke, plus for sudden avoidance maneuvers the yoke is way better (e.g. avoiding car backing out of a driveway without looking). Yes, if one uses the yoke with the technique of a round wheel it will be frustrating, but isn't that a bit like playing tennis with a squash technique. Remember the comments naysayers made when Apple first introduced the iPhone?: "People need to feel the click of the button", "If I want an app, I'll just go to my computer", "Why would someone hold a sandwich up to their face to make a call?".

Great video Joy! As a huge yoke fan myself, your guest did a great job describing the quick appreciation someone can have after driving with one. Really grows on you! We have a trip coming up with a rental Tesla (non-yoke) and I’m already thinking about how I wish it had a yoke. 😆

I think it's a simple case of doing the first full 180 degrees with one hand, then you can hand over. And the neutral position is slightly more visually obvious. I think it can work. Especially with a display in the steering wheel face.

It will take a few days and you will get used to it. If you adjust it right. On the freeway it all in your wrist when moving the wheel.

Interesting. I have a 2018 Model 3, but I may demo drive an S or X with the yoke to feel the difference. You've made a convincing argument.

Great video, Joy! At 8:17 is what I love about my yoke the most. I try not to do hand-over-hand and convert my muscle memory to using one finger when turning and holding the turn with the other hand if needed depending on the way I am turning. I feel those grooves were made for thumbs! Edit: At 8:39, that is how I do my turns...with one finger. The groove just floats around my finger in the turn.

Just like with anything, it’s a matter of getting used to it. Looks good on the Joymobile and matches the seats! How are the seats holding up? Easy to clean? Please consider doing a six-month review etc. As usual you look so gorgeous ❤❤

Yes there’s a connector to heated steering wheel which I had to cut off because mine doesn’t have that feature. No downside to airbag as it’s not touched.

It looks good, but the + you made, like resting place for thumb and the better for not triggering the "not touching the wheel" thing has nothing to do with the Yoke but more of the design of the old wheel. My car has those places for the thumb to rest and it's round, some wheel have the detection of presence by capacitive touch and not resistance at turning and problem is solve too. Some wheel have a more square design. So it's more about Yoke or not but the plus you gave are not linked to the Yoke itself.
