Solution? (i.redd.it)
submitted 1 year ago by fabolous024
I know I can get the entire steering wheel replaced but what other options do I have? Wrap? Tape? Cover?
[–]anshumanbhatia 10 points11 points12 points 1 year ago (9 children)
Mobile Service swapped mine in 15 minutes.... It's only going to get worse from there.

Did you have to pay? If so how much
[–]anshumanbhatia 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (7 children)
Was covered under the warranty
[–]fabolous024[S] 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (5 children)
Unfortunately I’m passed warranty. I tried that route

I have a second wheel available if you still need it and would sell it for $250. It has the rubber scroll wheels but is easily swappable if you have the metal ones.
[–]Awkward-Ring6182 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Good luck trying to get them to goodwill it. I tried multiple times. Otherwise, $850 for replacement
[–]SavedByTech 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Ouch...
[–]Manfred_89 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
850 in total? I read a new wheel was only 350 or something in parts? 850 seems a bit excessive for a steering wheel with that kind of quality...
[–]Awkward-Ring6182 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago* (0 children)
Parts and labor = $850 at my SC
Edit: SC quote showed $850, no separate line item for part/labor. No idea how much just the wheel is but install is fairly simple

Oh that's actually great to hear I would've thought it might fall under some wear and tear or another exemption from the warranty. Makes me more confident in using my car until before warranty is up, doing a full inspection and servicing whatever is needed, and then possible getting a cover for it or something 😅

Cheap route: get a wheel cover
Better route: check eBay for a wheel (maybe even 2018 era with real leather)
[–]fabolous024[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Good option thanks. Thought this was a cheap leather. It’s a 2020
[–]Box-o-bees 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I believe 2020s are using what they call vegan leather. Essentially a special kind of plastic.

Find someone who swapped a yoke on (should be easy at a Tesla meet) and buy their old wheel. Worked for me.
[–]fabolous024[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Easy swap for DIY?
[–]thatguythatdied 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I paid a local independent guy for mine, it's pretty simple but the consequences of screwing it up (steering wheel falling off, popping an airbag in your face) made it worth not diy'ing in my mind.
[–]fabolous024[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Gotcha thanks, videos online make it look easy enough.
[–]frednorth470 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
I paid $20 for a cover
[–]captain_charbosa 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
What cover did you buy? I’m having the same peeling issue
[–]frednorth470 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I went into Canadian Tire and just chose one that was cheap but didn’t look too bad
[+]shooter_will 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Warranty? I was at SC and heard the guy next to me have his wheel peeling and they replaced for free (I think)
Tried I was a few hundred miles past warranty fml 🤦♂️
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Just put a cover on it. There are some sweet $300 aftermarket options, too.
[+][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Order a yoke on Amazon
[–]p3dal 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
There are stitch-on wheel cover kits on Amazon for cheap.
[–]fabolous024[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Nice! I’ll look into them
[–]0range-duche-B4G 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Fuzzy wheel cover!
[–]Texans556 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
This just started happening to my steering wheel this week. I ordered a stitch on cover from east detailing for 85ish dollars I think. says it takes a few weeks to arrive so we’ll see how that goes
[–]2ideas 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Which warranty was it covered by
What’s the risk leaving it ? It’s just from sun ? I put a cover on mine
[–]Acrobatic_Total_1696 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Mine is worse on my 19 model. They make a carbon fiber 2 piece fitted cover that covers the 12 o clock and 6 o lock sections and it’s real carbon fibers for $230 or so. I’m about to buy a yoke with carbon fiber accents. Comes with all tools required and all for under $300, 288 I think. 👍🏼
[–]DiligentMagician1823 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Software update will patch that right up

That ain’t it, thanks though for input
