Tesla Model 3 Turn Signal Stalk Retrofit: Worth the $775 Price Tag?

Tesla Model 3 Turn Signal Stalk Retrofit: Worth the $775 Price Tag?

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a Tesla enthusiast like me, you've probably been keeping an eye on the latest updates for the Model 3. Today, I'm diving into the newly released turn signal stalk retrofit for the Model 3 Highland. It's finally available, but the price has sparked some debate. Let's break it down and see if it's worth it for you.

The Retrofit Details

Tesla has just launched the turn signal stalk retrofit package in Europe, priced at a hefty $775. This upgrade is compatible with Model 3 vehicles produced in 2023, 2024, and 2025 that don't already have a turn signal stalk. The best part? The price includes shipping to your preferred Tesla Service Center and professional installation.

At first glance, $775 might seem steep, especially when there are aftermarket options out there that could be more budget-friendly. If you're not absolutely set on having that stock Tesla feel on your steering wheel setup, you might want to explore those alternatives. However, once you factor in the included installation, it starts to make more sense.

Is the Price Justified?

Let's talk value. Installation alone could cost you an hour or two of labor, and Tesla ensures everything is coded and integrated perfectly with your vehicle's systems. If you're like me—not particularly handy and lacking the patience for DIY projects—this is a game-changer.

I've experienced this firsthand with other Tesla accessories. For instance, when I bought a roof rack for our Model Y, the $500 price tag included installation. You just schedule a service appointment, and they handle it—whether they come to you or you visit them. The same goes for carbon fiber spoilers; friends of mine have had them installed flawlessly by Tesla, ensuring perfect alignment without the hassle.

That said, if the price dropped to around $500 or $600, it'd be even more appealing. Right now, at $775, it's on the higher side, but for those who value convenience and official support, it could be worth it. Unfortunately, this retrofit isn't available in the US yet, so stateside owners will have to wait.

Must-Have Tesla Accessories

Speaking of accessories, if you've recently bought a Tesla or are about to, you might be surprised to learn it comes with zero extras—not even a phone mount! Don't worry; I've got some recommendations to enhance your ownership experience.

In my opinion, every Tesla owner needs:

• A sturdy phone mount to keep your device secure during those quick accelerations.
• A center console organizer to prevent items from getting lost in the abyss.
• An invisible underscreen storage mount—my latest favorite for stashing sunglasses and small essentials.

All these and more are available from our partner, Jowua. I personally use their products, so I can vouch for the quality. Plus, they've got cool extras like:

• A wireless game controller that fits neatly in the glove box.
• A portable air compressor for road trip peace of mind.
• An electric scooter to zip around from superchargers or Level 2 chargers—because why walk?

Final Thoughts

The turn signal stalk retrofit is an exciting option for Model 3 owners in Europe who miss that traditional stalk feel. While the $775 price includes valuable perks like installation, it's worth weighing against aftermarket alternatives. What do you think?
