The company is now selling an almost $350 retrofit turn signal stalk for its Model 3 cars after removing from the initial model. Instead, it used buttons to activate the turn signal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 engadget-charcoal\">As of now, the add-on is only available in the Chinese market. But, Model 3 drivers will need to shell out another 2,499 yuan ($348) to get a normal part of almost every car. However, there&rsquo;s a slight catch: The turn signal stalk is only compatible with models produced from February 7 of this year onward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 engadget-charcoal\">Only one month earlier, Tesla launched a refreshed Model Y that brought back the turn signal stalk. &ldquo;We always say at Tesla, if you aren&rsquo;t deleting so much that you have to put something back, you have&rsquo;t deleted enough. Well, maybe we deleted too much,&rdquo; Tesla&rsquo;s vice president of engineering Lars Moravy said in an interview with Jay Leno shortly after.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 engadget-charcoal\">The option to buy a retrofit signal stalk isn&rsquo;t that surprising. Creator Chris Zheng first leaked the news back in February on X (formerly Twitter). It&rsquo;s unclear whether Tesla plans to bring the add-on to additional markets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>Tesla offers a $350 retrofit turn signal stalk after removing it from the Model 3<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leave it to Tesla to charge its customers for a feature it purposely left out.
