Is the Tesla Model S Plaid’s Yoke Steering Wheel Really That Bad? | MotorBiscuit

When a yoke steering wheel pops up on a concept car, many look and scoff. “That’ll never make it to production,” they say, and in most cases they’re right. But Tesla proved everyone wrong by fitting a yoke steering wheel in their Tesla Model S Plaid, and folks were pissed. At first, even the NHTSA couldn’t make heads or tails of it, but after being driven and drag raced this long, is it really all that bed?

The Tesla Model S Plaid yoke steering wheel has a learning curve, but you get used to it

I’ve watched a bundle of Tesla Model S Plaid reviews to find the answer to this question alone. And as each reviewer performed three-point turns or navigated city streets, the mandatory yoke steering wheel caused no problems. It handled like you’d expect a normal car to, allowing the wheel to slip through your fingers and return to the center position. Sure, you’ll miss the wheel every now and then, but eventually, your hands will fall into place.
