Better half turned …
What is the biggest disadvantage of the current Tesla Model 3? Exactly: the lack of a direction indicator. Fortunately, Tesla now also acknowledges that scrapping that lever was not the best idea, and even comes with a solution. At least, in China.
We all make mistakes, but not everyone is given to errors. Fortunately we see it regularly in the car world. BMW came back to the debatable decision to offer a subscription to seat heating, Volkswagen admitted that those touchpads on the steering wheel were not such a good idea and Tesla gave the facelifted model Y a direction indicator lever.
The brand actually gave something to that, but now it is getting a little more concrete. The Model 3 has not had that direction indicator lever so far, but that has changed in China. If you order a new ‘3’ there, you will receive the simple but functional lever that can also be found in the model Y.
The current situation on the model 3 steering: no lever, but buttons for the direction indicator
Tesla even goes a little further in China, and offers the option for existing Model 3s to have the lever mounted afterwards. That costs just under 300 euros and also seems to mean the assembly of another set of buttons on the steering wheel. Logical, of course, because with a standard model 3, buttons can be found on the left spoke so far to operate those direction indicators. After the upgrade, the 3 here gets the buttons that you also find in the Y.
In the European offer we do not yet find the direction indicator lever of the Model 3, but that can just change. Model 3s supplied in Europe (in contrast to model Ys) also come from China, so who knows, you might soon be able to find your direction indicator again if you leave a roundabout with your model 3.
