Tesla removed the Model 3 turn signal stalk during the 2024 Highland refresh and replaced it with steering-wheel turn signal buttons. Driver reaction to the buttons was mixed, with some finding them difficult to adapt to and others preferring the minimalistic or convenient design. Tesla China now offers a retrofit to install turn signal stalks for ¥2,499 (about $350), with installation available at Service Centers. The retrofit is available for vehicles manufactured after February 7, 2025, and earlier cars will receive access later. Owners may self-install but Tesla disclaims responsibility for self-installation damage.
In 2024, Tesla launched the Model 3 "Highland, " a refreshed version of the vehicle that included several large-scale changes. One of the most noticeable was the lack of a turn signal stalk, something the company chose to remove and instead implement turn signal buttons on the steering wheel. The buttons were met with mixed reviews, as some drivers complained that it was too difficult to get used to them.
Now, Tesla is offering Model 3 owners in China the opportunity to replace the stalk for a price of ¥ 2,499, or about $350: "Modify your Model 3 by replacing the turn signal buttons on your steering wheel with turn signal stalks. This modification is included in the purchase price and is installed by a Tesla Service Center." Tesla notes on its website that the service is available for Model 3 vehicles without stalks manufactured after February 7, 2025.
