| Steering problems |
In July 2026, Tesla sold me a yoke steering wheel for my 2026 Model X long range and Tesla's service team installed it. On September 3, 2026, Tesla informed me the yoke is incompatible with my vehicle configuration and that the vehicle will not receive over-the-air software updates until the original round steering wheel is reinstalled. The vehicle has received zero software updates since July 2026. I am concerned the airbag in the Tesla-installed yoke may not deploy properly in a crash. I drive approximately 600 miles per week and do not feel safe in the vehicle. Tesla has not resolved this in 69 days despite weekly requests.
