Complete Steering Wheel Lock Review For Tesla Model S

​Disklok Steering Lock

The Disklok is by far the most secure on the market. It offers that visual deterrent you need to protect your Tesla Model S when you leave it overnight or on the road.

The Disklok is solid gold and is independently tested for all of its security claims. We have been using a small Disklok for over a year and found it easy to use, slightly heavy, but it offered great peace of mind while we were sleeping.

Stoplock Pro Elite Steering Wheel Lock

We found the Stoplock Pro to be the best steering wheel lock for everyday use. It is easy to fit and remove and easy to store in the back or front footwell, even when there are three kids and two adults in the car at the same time.

However, it didn’t offer the total security we wanted from a steering wheel lock. Yes, it would be difficult to get off once it was locked up, but the Disklok was the one we felt was the most secure.

Types of steering wheel locks

Full Face Steering Wheel Lock

A full-face steering wheel lock is a lock that covers the whole steering wheel to prevent anyone from gripping the steering wheel.

Some of the most secure steering wheel locks on the market are full-face. For those who want more peace of mind, they’re made from high-quality metal and have a serial number and unique key.

They are extremely difficult to remove and if someone were to get into your vehicle and try to remove the disk, it would just spin, making your vehicle immobile.

Half Face Steering Wheel Lock

A half-face steering wheel lock covers half of the steering wheel to prevent the steering wheel from moving. They are effective and offer a combination of features, such as a full-face and bar-like. We have listed the best ones below.

Standard Bar Steering Wheel lock

A steering wheel lock is a metal bar that you attach to your steering wheel with a double or single hook and then attach to the other end. The bar will prevent the steering wheel from turning. This is a traditional design and one that works. They are simple to use and store and can also be used as a hammer style in case you need to smash a window in an emergency.

Wheel To Pedal Lock

The Wheel to Pedal steering wheel lock attaches to the steering wheel with hooks and then onto the brake pedal to prevent the steering wheel and brake system from being used. There are only a few of these types wheel to pedal locks on the market because the design isn’t the easiest to use for everyday use.

A long reinforced steel bar that hooks the brake pedal and steering wheel together. This ensures that the steering wheel will not turn. These can take a little longer to set up but are a worthwhile investment if required.

Things To Consider When Buying A Steering Wheel Lock For A Tesla Model S

Weight

Steering wheel locks typically weigh between 5kg and 1kg, depending on the make and model.

One disadvantage of a full-face wheel lock is the weight. These wheel locks can be heavy and difficult to move around, which can lead to issues when working in small areas. A Disklock, for example, weighs around 5kg. Whereas a Stoplok pro weights 2.5kg

Daily Use & Storage

After testing all the steering wheel locks on the market, daily use becomes a big factor.

When testing a full face disk lock, storage became a problem. Moving it around my car to fit the family in we often found the boot was the only space to store the lock and sometimes I simply forgot to put the lock on after a long day. There was also a short learning curve in order to fit the lock correctly.

A bar lock is easier to use on a daily basis and takes up less space, but it offers fewer security features and is not as strong as a deterrent. However, it was always easy to hand and simple to fit.

Quality

As with anything you buy in life, if you buy cheap you buy twice. A good quality steering wheel lock should last you a lifetime. A bar lock like a Stoplok Pro or a full-face disk lock like a Disklok is the best quality on the market.

Steering Wheel Lock Sizes

Most steering wheel locks will fit the majority of vehicles.

A bar-style lock will fit most steering wheels of any size. You’ll need to consider the size of the airbag: a Stoplock Pro will fit a small airbag and a Stoplock Pro Elite will fit a larger airbag.

A full-face steering wheel usually comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. A smaller full-face wheel will fit most hatchbacks and sedans; a medium-size will fit most SUVs and people carriers, and a large is made for vans.

Security

A steering wheel lock is designed to prevent theft. They are a fantastic deterrent for any would-be criminals. We strongly recommend you purchase a well-known or branded steering wheel with plenty of reviews.

Summary

The best steering wheel lock for your Tesla Model S depends on what you want it for. Consider how you will be using the lock daily and pick one that fits your needs better.

If you’re on the lookout for a lock to keep burglars out, then the Stoplock Pro is your safest bet. On the other hand, if you’re looking for more security and want to deter possible thieves then consider investing in a Disklok.

The Stoplock she used continuously as it was easy for her to use daily even on the school runs. You can also check out our other blogs on other Tesla Models like the Tesla Model X here.
