Tesla has consistently pursued minimalism and innovation, but not every design decision has won over owners. One example was removing the turn signal stalk from Model 3 Highland<\/strong> and replacing it with touch controls on the steering wheel. Following customer feedback, reports suggested the stalk could return to Model 3<\/strong>, as it had on the new Model Y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What owners were asking for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The report cited Chris Zheng and linked the expected return to customer requests, rather than convenience alone<\/strong>. In an interview, Tesla\u2019s Vice President of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy acknowledged that the company had removed \u201cone component too many\u201d, illustrating how \u201cless is more\u201d can sometimes go too far<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some Cybertruck and Model S\/X owners had adapted to stalk-free controls, the transition was harder for drivers of Model 3 and Model Y<\/strong>, which reach a broader audience often accustomed to conventional cars. Bringing back a familiar physical control would make indicating more intuitive for many of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would the new Model 3 stalk do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The anticipated update would not restore a traditional multifunction stalk. The new control was expected to operate the turn signals only<\/strong>, rather than bringing back the full set of functions associated with older stalks. Other controls, including gear selection, would remain on the display or dedicated steering wheel buttons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could existing Model 3 cars be upgraded?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At publication, there was no official confirmation of a retrofit for Model 3 Highland cars already on the road. Tesla might offer an upgrade kit<\/strong> for owners who wanted the new stalk, but no details were available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about the other models?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The report considered a return of stalks to Model S and Model X<\/strong> unlikely at the time, given their button-based controls with either a yoke or round steering wheel. It also speculated about steer-by-wire in a future refresh; that was a possibility, not a confirmed change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cybertruck<\/strong> was designed without a turn signal stalk and uses steer-by-wire<\/em>, reducing the steering wheel movement needed for a turn. Some owners find the button-based approach intuitive after an adjustment period, although preferences differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A return of the Model 3 turn signal stalk would be an example of Tesla responding to customer feedback<\/strong>. The company continues to explore minimalist controls, while recognising that not every change is immediately welcome to every driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
