The Tesla Cybertruck may enter production with a steering yoke instead of a conventional steering wheel, the company’s chief designer Franz von Holzhausen said in a recent interview.<\/p>\n

The Cybertruck has been in development for several years, and recent prototypes have been spotted with yoke steering following the introduction of the aviation-inspired control on the refreshed Tesla Model S and Model X.<\/p>\n

But while Tesla recently decided to offer a traditional steering wheel option to Model S and Model X customers<\/a>, it looks like the Cybertruck may launch with the yoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Franz von Holzhausen said on the Ride the Lightning<\/em> podcast with Ryan McCaffrey that the Cybertruck’s design was “basically finished” and that the company is leaning toward yoke steering for the electric truck.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think the yoke makes a lot of sense, you know, once you experience it, it’s a great driving experience combined with Autopilot. It makes the whole user experience and interior cockpit simpler and cleaner. So yeah, we’re looking at the yoke there too.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

However, von Holzhausen added that no final decision has been made yet as Tesla<\/a> keeps its options open concerning vehicle designs. “We work consistently through the entire process, and we’re constantly working on every detail and the refinement of that,” the design boss said.<\/p>\n

Tesla’s steering yoke saw mixed reviews from owners of the new Model S and Model X, and even came under the scrutiny of NHTSA for a brief period.<\/p>\n

Some Model S and Model X owners who were dissatisfied with the yoke took matters into their own hands and replaced the yoke with a traditional steering wheel<\/a> as part of DYI projects. That’s no longer necessary as Tesla now offers a conventional steering wheel option for its flagship models.<\/p>\n

Will the same thing happen to the Cybertruck or will Tesla offer the electric pickup truck from the get-go with two steering choices, the yoke and a conventional wheel? That remains to be seen, and we will likely learn more about it later this year when Tesla starts manufacturing the Cybertruck<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company is set to begin initial production in mid-2023, with volume manufacturing expected to start before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
