Tesla is starting to offer a $700 round steering wheel retrofit for people who bought a Model S or Model X with a yoke steering wheel.
Tesla did not just implement a small price increase for the Model S and Model X recently. The company also changed the default steering control for the two flagship vehicles. While the new Model S and Model X were initially equipped with a steering yoke by default, the two cars now come with a traditional round steering wheel instead.
Tesla finally offering round steering as an option on Model S and Model X vehicles, which the automaker was only offering with its “yoke” steering wheel for the last two years. It was confusing to some why Tesla wouldn’t offer a regular steering wheel as an option in the first place.

Tesla writes about the retrofit in the description:
Travel in luxury. Enjoy the warmth of a heated wheel and the touch of premium vegan leather in a traditional form factor. No stalks or shifters.
