Doh! Mine broke the moment I was driving, recalled this thread, and wondered when mine would break…

Haha doesn’t bode well for shot term usage either.
It will benefit you, but man that’s a cost to the company..
They have drastically improved the way they feel in newer steering wheel iterations. The buttons on my original wheel felt cheap, loose, like crap. The replacement wheel had an extremely noticeable difference and felt tight with responsive feedback (clicks).

Same here. It feels much better, more tactile feedback. I also hope that it is more reliable.
I agree. I use it sometimes. But the volume in the middle of the dash is much better and used 99% of the time.
Wish we can program the volume button to do something else, up does 1 thing, down does another.
Would be cool to have customization and program it to anything we want in the car

My steering wheel was replaced in February and the ACC button broke yesterday. Maybe the new steering wheels are not more durable. Here is my temporary fix. The plastic piece only fits in one way and the right side has to go in first.
I was never much of a fan of that portion of the steering wheel. Seems to prioritize form over function. The little wheels are too stiff and slow to respond to input.
Maybe we Arizona people just have big thumbs.

Mine broke withhin 2 weeks of ownership in October. Replaced the steering wheel when it broke and it's been ok since.

I mean, the fact that we have to resort to this as a fix is worrying. Why cant we make that dial a "infinite scroll" wheel like the volume dial? It seems like that would be more reliable.
Because it’s hardware. Can’t just “make” it anything without a large effort.

Didnt say with software, more like any new steering wheel replacement or any new car gets it.
My Cruise Control button fell off several weeks ago. In the shop now for several items and the steering wheel. Looking at the button it was designed with flimsy plastic clips to hold it in place that in my opinion will never last long. Without this button you cannot engage cruise control. I could sometimes get it to work but usually it would just fall off again.
If it just "falls off" and not breaks, that should be covered under warranty... Right?
You see, that's where you made a mistake. The duct tape is the real answer. Nobody will tell me otherwise.
Wrong. You looked at it while it t was breaking, it's your fault. Clearly.
Jokes aside, it's not as dramatic, as Tesla's steering wheel falling off of the shaft. Well documented by a few youtubers.
