It’s a bad way to evaluate your Mercedes steering wheel.

It all depends on how funny you are.

Many people don’t like this yoke on the Tesla Model S. This includes Consumer Reports. The odd replacement steering wheel is not available for people in the United Kingdom. CarWow takes an Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and removes the top. Before we dive into the actual content, let’s be honest and admit that the clip’s premise is stupid. The Tesla Model S was presumably designed with the yoke in mind to control the sedan’s steering. Mercedes on the other hand didn’t know anyone would take apart an S-Class wheel to make YouTube videos. It is impossible to compare the Tesla Model S’s driving experience with the S-Class’s modified yoke. The video is intended to be entertainment and not as a source of real-world advice.

Mat begins the video by trying to remove the top of his steering wheel. It was kicked, used a bat, tried a small reciprocating saw, created a flamethrower from spray deodorant, lighter and finally, attempted power hedge trimmers. Experts are able to create a yoke from a different Mercedes-Benz wheel. First, escape from a tight parallel parking spot. Although Mat can’t get out of this spot, the yoke makes it more difficult.

The Mercedes is then driven on a closed track. Because of the yoke, maneuvering becomes a lot more difficult. It’s impossible to turn the Mercedes hand-over-hand with half of its wheel missing. A slalom requires a lot of effort. As with the road test steering involves turning the wheel over 90 degrees, which is hard to do. It is also difficult to make quick transitions between one side and the other. Drifting, as you might expect, is also difficult. All indications point to Tesla installing a yoke on even more products. It will eventually be installed in the Cybertruck, and ModelX.
