Tesla Steering Wheel Weight – Introduction
The Tesla Model S and X both have metal wheels.
The steering wheel on the Model S weighs about 6.5 lbs., and it’s made of aluminum, volcanic ash and perforated leather.
If you have the optional auto-leveling perforated leather steering wheel, it will weigh just over 7 lbs.
The Model S’s optional perforated leather steering wheel weighs about 6.5 lbs and has a 1-year warranty.
The optional auto-leveling perforated leather steering wheel will weigh just over 7 lbs, making this option worth considering if you like to have your hands on the wheel at all times when driving.
First-generation models had an aluminum-alloy dashboard, while second-generation models used black volcanic ash instead (both are wood-made).

The first Model S had an aluminum-alloy steering wheel, while the second generation had a black volcanic-ash one.
The aluminum alloy weighs 525g, about 15% lighter than its black counterpart. This is because it’s made from a lighter metal and because Tesla has reduced the thickness of their wheels and spokes to make them more durable. On top of that, they’ve added a carbon fiber rim to decrease weight further and increase durability—which means that over time you’ll get more bang for your buck in terms of performance (and how much money you pay).
The Tesla Model X also has an aluminum-alloy steering wheel and weighs around 6 pounds, which is 1 pound heavier than the standard Model S variant.
If you’re wondering why the Model X has a heavier steering wheel than the standard Model S variant, it’s made of aluminum. The Tesla Model S’ steering wheel is made from plastic and weighs around 6 pounds, which is 1 pound lighter than a similar spec base model.
This may seem like a small difference, but when we consider how much more expensive both cars are (the base price for the Tesla Model S starts at $78,000), it becomes clear that there’s some value in having something slightly more substantial in your hands as well as getting used to having something heavier in your hands after driving around town with an electric vehicle that weighs less than 5 lbs.
Conclusion
As you can see, the steering wheel weighs a lot. It’s not just any old steering wheel either – it’s made of metal! So this means that in your next car if you buy an electric vehicle with the same brand name as Tesla (or even if it’s not), there will be more weight on the driver’s side of the car.
