Tesla Model S owners certainly are having a lot of stressful reasons to regret their recent purchase. After all, it’s not every day that we see a costlier vehicle having issues that would be found in the cheapest products. Apparently, the controversial Steering Yoke found in the Tesla Model S is suffering from a low-quality issue.
Recently, several owners of the Tesla Model S have been sharing pictures through social media including Twitter. Most of these mages show the coating on the yoke disintegrating. This usually happens on some materials after several years of continuous usage, but this isn’t the case with this yoke. The disintegrated material leaves ugly bald patches on the surface.
As we’ve said before, it’s not uncommon to see wheel coatings degrading after a long period of usage. But again, this is not the case for the Tesla Yokes, the timeline is really short. According to the Twitter user The Kilowatts, the Model S Long Range fitted with yoke, already has three sizeable chunks in just 24,000 miles. Furthermore, the popular TikTok create if.okay posted photos of a degrading yoke on a Model S Plaid that ran just 12,000 miles. Last but not least, the Twitter user Meet Kevin states that he has similar problems with his Tesla Model S series with just 4,000 miles of driving.
