I know they said they were adding more feedback to the wheel for the last update, but mine suddenly is a lot harder to crank. Does anyone else feel this? It is super noticeable on a tight on-ramp for my commute. Last week it was amazing feeling the power of steer by wire, just turning sharp no problems, now I have to fight the dang thing with two hands (exaggeration, but it isn't comfortable with the few fingers I normally use).

Has anyone else stopped using FSD long enough to notice it, or do I have to schedule a service call?

I wonder if this is more pronounced in AWDā€˜s versus CB’s or maybe I’m just ham handed. I didn’t notice it in the loaner that I had the last couple of days (was an AWD) and I do not notice it in my CB.

I have noticed using the steering wheel to disengage. FSD seems to be a little stronger. Does anyone else have this problem?

Steering is noticeably heavier after update. Used to feel light and nimble—-could steer with one finger—-want it back the to the original feel—-felt lighter than model 3–now feels like a truck

What setting are you using? Focused?

I would check the truck's hydraulic steering fluid levels but...

Beast owner here- Definitely feel like I have to move the wheel more now. More like a regular truck. Find myself have to go full crank sometime on right hand turns … never did b4. I particularly notice it because of a disability I have.

Problem is I bought this because it didn’t want a regular truck. Love the steer by wire.

Would love option to go back. Not sure what they were trying to solve here .

Hmm my Beast is fine steering feels same certainly not worse. Just driving 35-55 on divided hwy, no off road.
Mine is most noticeable in slow steering situations like pulling out of the driveway or making a sharp right hand turn from a stop sign. On the highway I can’t say I tell too much of a difference.

Definitely some more effort to turn the steering wheel in my CB, which is set on Standard steering. I would like for this to be an adjustable setting to suit one's preference. I don't mind the heavier feel.

Steering is awesome, no comparison to my F-150. I keep the setting on "Focused".
