To Yoke, or Not to Yoke, that is the question.

[Professor]

I've been asked, what was my favorite upgrade. I've done a few. I didn't have an answer right away, but after I thought about it, It's the yoke. When i first found out about them I wasn't sure if i wanted to go that route. But i spent a week behind the Squircle, trying not to touch the top of the wheel. It was not a problem. all driving was from the hand perches. The only time i would touch the top was in a parking lot, and it actually made things worse. So i bit the bullet and got one in CF from RPM. (10) - Thanks for visiting! If you have any questions, Live Support is here M-F 10 am - 4 pm PST. If you have reached us after hours, send us an email at [email protected] installed it with no problems and have never looked back. As i said it's now my favorite upgrade. I drove a Yoke in a loaner X and it's not the same. without steer-by-wire, its pointless and awkward. But perfect for Cybertruck. I know originally we were all supposed to get them but Elon, or someone, caved to peer pressure and so the Square/Circle was born. So now I'm genuinely curious, how many are in each camp and why? I had to leave Isaac in an airport parking lot for a week, or I'd post a picture. So, when i get back...

I still call the OEM unit a yoke. Squircle = square/circle. Technically OEM is a rectangircle.

It is one of my favorite parts. As a pilot it feels at home.

Edited since autocorrect wanted to call it a squirrel.

Can’t comment on a yolk, but I definitely like the Squirkle. Never had a vehicle with a rear camera before and when I back up my trailer or my boat, left hand goes on the top of the steering wheel as I turn around to look out the back window. Maybe one day I’ll master backing up with mirrors… Or not

OEM is fine. IMHO, not worth $1,700 to cut the top section of the yoke out.

 

[ABILISK]

Definitely looks cool, but I’ll keep my squircle

 

[hemiarch]

Same. Like and respect, but don’t desire.

so for thine, not to yoke,
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles is unclear, but…not to yoke

Wouldn’t change the stock squircle if you paid me

I know just the guy. You thinking something like a hamster wheel with a squirrel running on it and some of that @That Beast Mode magic sprinkled over the top?

The squirrel could be running on the wheel attempting to reach the bacon slice dangling at the top

Don't Pilots use a Yoke or a Stick? not much hand over hand on an aircraft.

And wearing a star spangled bikini perhaps?
no no. This isn’t a @TeslaKen special. No squirrel rear ends!
you hear that Master Perv?
I kid Ken, I kid. This place wouldn’t be the same without you.

So back to the topic at hand, I appreciate the wheel characteristics of the stock steering device a lot off-road and also for low speed parking lot driving. My preference.
Not willing or give that up for a yoke.

Yeah, Beast Mode will probably put the squirrel in chaps and a cowboy hat
