Tesla Model S and Model X seem to be quietly receiving an update, where these two electric cars get new hardware and features. A Twitter user has revealed in his tweet that the Tesla Model S and Model X are now being produced with new camera equipment and new hardware, which include a conventional round steering wheel instead of a yoke.

Tesla has been planning on releasing its sought-after Hardware 4 setup soon. These updates are likely to be introduced alongside the Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup truck, which is also one of the most awaited vehicles from the brand. The Twitter user named The Kilowatts has revealed that these updated EVs have been built at the automaker's Fremont facility in California.

The round steering wheel's comeback comes as a significant update, as many Tesla owners criticised the EV manufacturer's decision to discontinue the traditional wheel for the sake of yoke. Many buyers weren't interested in the yoke, citing discomfort while driving.

Teslarati has revealed that Tesla's Hardware 4 setup, which is possibly making its way into the new updated Model S and Model X will have slots for 11 cameras. The tweet revealing the details shows there are no ultrasonic sensors and these cars get a new ‘Tesla’ badge at the rear. Some of the cameras have been relocated from their original positions as well, reveals the tweet.

This certainly indicates that Tesla has started producing the updated Model S and Model X at its plant. However, when that would go on sale in the market, is not clear yet, as the auto manufacturer is tight-lipped about the development. Also, with the Model S and Model X possibly receiving this update, the other EVs in the auto company's product lineup too would soon receive that hardware.
