"American owners of the refreshed Tesla Model 3 can finally get an official turn signal stalk straight from Tesla, after the company added a retrofit option on its online shop. As a reminder, the facelifted Model 3, which went on sale in the United States at the beginning of last year, doesn't come with any steering wheel column stalks. Instead, the functions of the stalks were moved to the steering wheel and the central infotainment screen."
"That's why the company will now sell you a $595 retrofit pack to put back what it took away two years ago. According to the product page, the retrofit is only compatible with Model 3 vehicles assembled in 2024 and 2025. It includes a traditional turn signal stalk, a new steering wheel, a steering wheel column module and the installation cost. In other words, it's not as easy as sticking a stalk to the column, but it does seem unfair to American customers."
"In the U.S., the Model 3 is still being sold without a traditional stalk, whereas customers in China and Europe can now buy the electric sedan with the stalk from the get-go without having to pay an extra fee. What's more, when the retrofit pack was announced in China earlier this year, it cost the equivalent of $350. The Shanghai-built Model 3s also get upgraded batteries that enable more driving range, but the prices in Europe have remain"
Tesla added a retrofit option for the Model 3 in the United States that supplies a traditional turn signal stalk. The facelifted U.S.-spec Model 3 originally removed steering column stalks, moving their functions to the steering wheel and central infotainment screen. The retrofit pack costs $595 and is compatible only with Model 3 vehicles assembled in 2024 and 2025. The pack includes a traditional turn signal stalk, a new steering wheel, a steering wheel column module, and installation. European and Chinese Model 3 customers receive the stalk without an extra fee, and the China retrofit was previously priced at the equivalent of $350.
