Highlights
Choose Your Surface Option
White Leather has a light surface, Black Leather a smooth dark surface and Alcantara a dark suede-like texture. These are the selectable surface labels. Use cleaning products appropriate to the actual delivered material.
Linked Side Finish and Heating
Side Carbon Finish No is offered with Retain Heating Function Yes only. Glossy and Matte Carbon Fiber each offer No or Yes heating for every surface. Yes retains compatible original heating hardware; it does not add missing vehicle equipment.
Legacy Center and Control Layout
Uses the original three-spoke center, airbag mounting, shaft and control interfaces. The listed generations are Model S 2012–2020 and Model X 2015–2020; it does not fit refreshed 2021+ S/X.
Different Grip Positions
The open top removes the continuous upper arc and changes hand placement during large steering inputs. This is a wheel-body change, with no steering-ratio or steer-by-wire conversion. The actual instrument view depends on the driver and seating position.

Good to Know
Caution
- Fits the legacy generations listed; does not fit refreshed 2021+ S/X.
- Touchscreen Power Off alone does not isolate the SRS.
- The original complete driver airbag transfers unmodified.
- The open top changes the available hand positions; it does not convert the steering ratio or add steer-by-wire.
Care
- Use surface-appropriate cleaning products and a soft cloth. Avoid saturating suede-like surfaces or introducing cleaner into controls and seams.
