Does Tesla have a heated steering wheel?

[StLeonardo]

Heated steering wheel is standard equipment for the Model-3 Long Range and Performance versions. The vehicle needs to use software version 2020.48 or higher to have the heated steering wheel option. The principle of heated steering wheel: It relies on resistance wires. Typically, a layer of resistance wires is placed inside the leather wrapping of the steering wheel. The power supply line connects to the resistance wires through the part below the steering wheel that links to the rotating shaft. Most vehicles with heated steering wheels focus on heating the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions of the steering wheel, which are the areas where hands grip. This simplifies the technology and saves costs. The function of the steering wheel: With the heated steering wheel function, resistance wires are usually embedded inside the leather of the steering wheel. When the button is turned on to supply power, the resistance wires heat the frequently gripped areas of the steering wheel, specifically the positions from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock.
