Is there any reason why Tesla simply couldn't offer this as a service center paid 'upgrade'?Because it is fun.
Tesla is missing out on money here too. They could create a stupid problem to have and then offer the solution themselves and make more money.I think there is going to be a huge aftermarket demand for a stalk kit once the masses have to deal with the POS design the stalkless cluster truck is that Elon foisted upon us S and X owners. Can't hide from the horde of likely pissed off 3/Y owners on this one.
That would imply that Elon/Tesla made a mistake and that the change was purely for cost reasons and not for improved functionality. I'm still shocked that they reversed course on the stupid yoke. A rare admission......Is there any reason why Tesla simply couldn't offer this as a service center paid 'upgrade'?
And the horn too. It really is baffling to me. So make it a paid option. Surely it wouldn't cost them $500 too add stalks back. Might slow down production so if it's something a service center can do, make it something installed after the sale.That would imply that Elon/Tesla made a mistake and that the change was purely for cost reasons and not for improved functionality.

They are definitely missing out on sales because of this. My wife is interested in upgrading her 2018 MS but won't because of the lack of stalks. She says she will hold onto her current car as long as she can.
So true--so much brilliance in the cars, yet so much stupidity from what must be Elon's video game playing ideas after midnight . . . flat out crazy.And the horn too. It really is baffling to me.

The look like they will work well.Via S3XY Stalks coming mid 2024
Looks like "S3XY Buttons" will be able to do gear change + they are 'soon' coming out with stalks:
Hey everyone!
As most of you have seen, the new Model 3 Highland is available for pre-order in Europe and Asia, and to no surprise, it does not have any stalks for:
blinkers
headlights
wipers
gear shifting
During the last 3 months, we had a side project...
Part of the team worked on it with members of the Tesla community and we were able to replicate the signals for all of the above actions and integrate them into commands sent from the stalks to the canbus. That way, people from our Beta group with the yoke were able to have their stalks back and use them in real-life scenarios.
So now that the proof of concept is there, we will start thinking of a way to create the hardware for it.
We already found a good partner that can help us with that so hopefully in the next month we can have our first official prototype in-house and see how much more work we need to put into it.
However, until then, everyone who owns the model S/X with the yoke steering wheel or will receive their new Model 3 Highland, will be able to use the S3XY Buttons for all of the functions the stalks can do.
And in a month or so the S3XY Buttons will be able to do gear-shifting as well, so the setup will be complete.
All of you who are waiting for your suggested features to be implemented in the current Commander or the S3XY Buttons, we have not forgotten about you.
We are creators at heart and we might get carried away a bit when new opportunities present themselves, but we will never leave our wonderful community behind.
We are super happy to announce that after 2 months of searching, we were able to find the right people to join our small team, so soon after they're all caught up, we will be able to push updates more regularly. So please be patient with us and know that everything we do is for you guys.
As always, if you have any questions or you want to share your thoughts with us, feel free to join our community on Discord. There are a ton of great people in there and everyone is very helpful, so it is a good place to be.
Stay tuned! A lot of exciting things are coming!
Best Regards,
Enhance Team
Can the S3XY buttons already be configured for turn signals, high beams, and windshield wipes? Do you need their “commander” box for those functions?I just soldered wires from the S3xy buttons directly to the Tesla controller board. (Indicator side).
On the gear selector side. I used two microswitches. I can take better pictures today. It's a fast and easy job.

A few days ago, I asked on the Enhance Auto Discord about the state of the S3XY Stalks and the answer I got is that they're still in development.
This is a project I would love to tackle, at least until Enhauto can complete their work. The more detailed information you can give, the better!I just soldered wires from the S3xy buttons directly to the Tesla controller board. (Indicator side).

Same here! I already have all the Tesla hardware from a Model 3/Y (turn signal stall, gear lever stalk, steering column covers) and just need to get the right S3XY buttons package.This is a project I would love to tackle, at least until Enhauto can complete their work. The more detailed information you can give, the better!
Steer by wire will definitely make stalkless less “painful”.Nice I hope they have made enough kits for everyone who wants. But not enough to get "stuck with thousands". When tesla brings stalks back (or they make the car steer much faster.. Like cybertruck).
