Overview

• New Model 3s in China now list a traditional turn-signal stalk as standard equipment, according to Tesla’s configurator.
• The factory-backed retrofit is priced at ¥2,499 (about $349) and will be available to order in mid-September via Tesla’s online shop and app.
• Installation is performed at Tesla Service Centers and involves replacing the steering wheel assembly, with removed components recycled by the center.
• Eligibility initially covers Model 3 Highland vehicles built after February 7, 2025, with Tesla saying earlier builds will be supported later without a timeline.
• Tesla has not announced availability or pricing outside China, following earlier criticism after it removed stalks in the 2023 refresh and a 2025 admission that it may have “deleted too much.”
