if you're into real carbon fiber products like me you might want to check out Hansshow's new
steering wheel that's made 100% of real carbon fiber and premium nappa leather i previously
put in a yolk steering wheel from Hansshow with also a small amount of matte carbon fiber
i personally love the yolk guys it only took me a couple days to get used to driving with it as
i quickly preferred the yoke over the traditional round steering wheel i just found it easier and
relaxing to rest my hand on the bottom part of the yoke while driving i got plenty of compliments on
it and the yoke looked OEM from tesla like it just came off the tesla model as plaid for this video
i went ahead and removed the yolk just to show another option on the market my name is Evan and
if you're new here welcome consider subscribing to my channel to see future content like this
for those of you who do not like the yolk steering option but want something different than the
traditional tesla steering wheel this 100% real matte carbon fiber wheel with premium napa leather
may be your go-to option first things first is the quality i cannot believe how good the quality and
attention to detail is on this wheel it took me about three weeks to receive my new wheel and i
can see why Hansshow spends a good amount of time precisely building and assembling their products
this napa leather feels like the original tesla wheel and the matte carbon fiber with the indented
finger placement is perfect the wheel looks more on the sporty side with the indented curves on the
lower part of the wheel top to bottom it feels very high quality and i mean very high quality
you can also customize this even further with red stitching and also the line on top can be changed
to black white red or blue and there doesn't have to be a line up on the top at all if you don't
want one this also comes in glossy carbon fiber should you prefer this over the matte version
if your tesla has the heated steering wheel function please select the heated function
when going through checkout mine is a 2018 tesla model 3 and did not have a built-in heated wheel
therefore i cannot add this function to the new wheel your tesla must already have an equipped
heated wheel as there is no way to upgrade this function finally as you can see on the back i
wanted to show you they actually use the tesla factory OEM wheel fitting making the install
quite easy the logo as you can see is stamped on the back just like my original tesla wheel the
internal parts are all OEM fittings ensuring you have peace of mind knowing it's not from
some low quality manufacturer to take off your original tesla wheel you'll notice the small
hole on the left and also on the right near the bottom you'll need two small screwdrivers one for
each hole pushing the airbag off the center part of the wheel it can be tricky to find the right
spot and where to push the screwdrivers but what you're pushing on is this wire retaining clip on
either end it's ideally best to push on both ends at the same time to release the airbag after you
have this free the head of the wheel should come free to then release these two electrical clips
before you disconnect these two wire clips you may also want to look into turning off your car
doing this can be found under the car settings menu and selecting power off mode however from
my experience no matter how many times i did this the car would just turn back on
also when disconnecting the power cord from under the passenger seat area the car presented all
kinds of power failure errors and warnings even after selecting the power off option on the car
i decided to plug this back in before the car had even further problems this is totally up to you
but i had no issues disconnecting the air bag from the wheel with the car completely on maybe you
have better luck turning off your car than i did so back to taking off the airbag i found it best
to use a needle nose pliers to push down on either end of the clips and pull it towards me to release
use the same process on the purple wire clip now if you find this video helpful this far consider
clicking that like button for me below so current and future tesla owners can find this i would
really appreciate it next you'll need a fairly long torque wrench to release a 10 millimeter
hex bit screw in the center of the wheel also an extension set will be helpful as the bolt is
kind of down in the wheel if you need these items i'll have a link below this video i also use this
torque wrench to change out my tires on my tesla turning off this bolt is the hardest part of the
install i had to adjust my seat and use my legs to hold down the wheel to really pull hard down
on that wrench after you have the screw loose and both electrical clips are free pull on the wheel
towards you in all directions up down left and right you really have to pull on it for removal
taking your new hand show wheel align it with the spacers of the wheel column you'll notice the very
top has a slightly larger gap than the rest of the center hole grooves you'll have to push down and
wiggle the yoke back and forth until it won't go down any further there will be a small gap between
the wheel and the center hole the wheel frame i tried pushing all the way down but that's as far
as it will go it's the same as the original tesla wheel too the rest of the install is quite easy
just plug in that purple electrical plug into the wheel and take your 10 millimeter bolt and tighten
it back into place putting a good amount of force on it after you feel the screw is well tightened
just place your airbag cover over the wheel and re-clip that yellow wire piece
take the entire cover and firmly push down until you hear it clips into place also confirm your
horn works when pushing down on the center wheel cover that completes the install and now we have
a different look to your tesla it appears a little more on the sporty side which i mentioned earlier
and what i first noticed is the steering wheel is slightly thicker than the oem tesla wheel the
diameter of the wheel is still the same however the actual circumference feels a bit larger
i actually prefer this over the more narrow version of the original tesla wheel also you
can see the base the wheel is now flattened which i really like it's going to be hard for
me to choose which wheel to keep on my model 3. i still really enjoy driving with the yolk as i
prefer over the traditional round wheel but again i create content to showcase everyone's needs in
the future you may see me swap out the wheel again back to the yoke but for now i'm just going to
enjoy this new carbon fiber wheel i just got in be sure to use the coupon code in this video or
