Tesla patented a new steer-by-wire system some believe may be used on the Roadster. Via, Not a Tesla App:

"Tesla recently published a new patent that could change the way future steer-by-wire vehicles feel and operate. The patent is titled "MULTI-TURN STEERING FEEDBACK ACTUATOR" and was officially published on March 19, 2026.

Credited to inventors Stephen Alexander Harasym and Joel Timothy Van Rooyen, this document outlines a new steering column assembly designed specifically for steer-by-wire systems. It allows for an extended range of steering wheel rotation while maintaining a robust mechanical end stop."
