Model 3 gets turn signal stalks again – just not from Tesla

Tesla has dropped the traditional indicator stalk in exchange for buttons on the steering wheel. Now, however, a company has developed a solution that changes that… again.

It caused an outcry in the auto industry and among some drivers when Tesla ditched the turn signal stalk to replace it with buttons.

But where Tesla refuses to screw the old unloading back into the cars, there are others who see opportunities. This applies, among other things, to the people behind Enhance.

Look here, they have developed the physical stalk switch that Tesla dropped in connection with the launch of the current Model 3. Earlier this month, the American company was able to lift the lid on the release.

A solution they have worked for five months to actually make look like something that Tesla could have equipped the Model 3 with from the factory. It is not yet known whether Enhance is also on the way with a turn signal stalk for the Cybertruck, Model S, Y and X. But it may be that they will be overtaken soon.

Euro NCAP has announced a new set of rules, and here it will be impossible to score the maximum number of stars if the car manufacturers do not have regular stalks on the side of the steering wheel for the turn signals. Read more about the upcoming requirements here .

Something else is screens in modern cars. They are – after the Tesla connection – preferably gigantic. But several of the actors in the car industry believe that too will disappear.

At BMW, for example, it is believed that the legislation will reach the point where the largest of the screens will actually be prohibited from being fitted to brand new cars.

Something completely third is whether the EU actually means it with the ban on the internal combustion engine, which is currently set to become a reality in 2035. Pieter Nota, who until December last year sat on BMW's board of directors, does not think so.

– A new EU Commission will, I suspect in any case, decide on a postponement or adjustment of the ban no later than 2026. It's just inevitable, I think, says Nota.
