Overview

• Tesla’s China configurator now lists a turn-signal stalk as standard on all Model 3 Highland trims.
• The factory-backed retrofit costs ¥2,499 (about $350) and installations are slated to begin in mid-September.
• Eligibility initially covers Model 3 units built after February 7, 2025, with earlier vehicles promised compatibility at a later date.
• The upgrade must be performed at Tesla Service Centers and involves replacing the steering wheel assembly with returned parts recycled by Tesla.
• The option is currently limited to China, following Tesla’s 2023 removal of stalks and subsequent backlash, with no timeline announced for other markets.
