Tesla finally starts shipping new Model X vehicles with yoke steering wheel
Tesla has begun shipping out the slightly redesigned Model X crossover with a new interior and the new Yoke steering device.
Beyond the new minimalist steering apparatus, the new Model X also has a screen in landscape orientation on the dash, a smaller screen in the back and pockets in the doors to hold items.
This new Model X also has a ‘Premium Upgrades Package.’ This includes multi-device Bluetooth connections, a 22-speaker audio system and a gaming computer with over 10 teraflops of power. This computer is presumably just the brains of the car itself.

We know that the car is finally being delivered since someone named Pierce Chuang posted a video on YouTube about a small Tesla event where some of the first cars were being sent to their drivers. The vehicles at the event appear to be the six-seat options, according to Electrek. This means that anyone who ordered a five- or seven-seat model might need to wait a little longer.
Also, since this event took place in California, Canadians will likely need to wait a bit longer still for their units.
Tesla refreshed the Model S and Model X back at the start of 2021 with new interiors and the famous ‘Plaid’ trim that’s been breaking some records in the Model S version. Neither car has been significantly changed, but each has been refined to be more modern for cars shipping in 2021. The Model S version has already begun shipping.
