I'm having this exact issue... left works great, to the right I have to make sure to fully press hard to the right to engage continuous.... odd!

Model 3: Turn Signals... ARGH!

Yes but I have XPEL PPF and Ceramic Pro install to do first. I drop it off tomorrow morning then probably get it back in 2 or three days. I'll call service after that.
Not related to this thread but I test drove the RWD originally and ordered the AWD. Regen is better and even though it was raining the car was like a rocket with the aero wheels. I expected some slippage etc and couldn't get any.

Well, today I could not get the turn signal to malfunction a single time. The exact opposite of yesterday. I have to admit I forced it up really hard the first time I tried.
Exactly same here... once I got used to pressing up or down fully I'm good to go. I come from the BMW world of when I feel the resistance point I would release the pressure... I think that's the key is pressing up or down "fully" in the Tesla. All is well for me!

Yesterday I was hitting the stop where the stalk would not travel any farther so I don't know what I could have done differently.

Had service today- it took them installing 3 stalk modules before they got one that worked correctly!!!
They now know that they have a problem...
The install is remove steering wheel, unplug module, plug in new module, replace wheel, reinstall firmware. Takes a bit more than an hour...unless you count having to do it 3 times!
My specific issue was no “triple flash” position on left turn- only “continuous flash”...but I think all of our issues are traceable to the same component...

FWIW, S driver here with a Turo-rented Model 3 and I “got” the 3 turn signal in about an hour or so, so unless I’m unusually coordinated (hint: I’m not) it shouldn’t be THAT finicky to operate if it’s working properly.
That plus the AutoPilot engagement (using the right stalk) were features I missed on the S after driving the 3 for a week.

FYI, the actuation and behavior of the stalk / turn signals is exactly the same as on my BMW so fortunately for me, it's taken no time at all to get acclimated. Pro tip: To deactivate a turn signal, you can push the stalk in either direction (i.e., opposite of the turn signal or in the same direction as the turn signal.

Ludatik- Your advice is good....for those without the broken stalk module, which does turn out to be a real issue for tesla...my local SC has a bunch of replacements happening...

For whatever reason I can’t get the 3 successive turn signal flashes to work for left or right turns. The continuous signal for left and right turns isn’t an issue. If I light press up or down on the turn signal stalk the turn signals do come on but not 3 times. I have to hold the stalk in an up or down position manually.

I’ve read the entire thread. I’m pretty sure I’ve felt the halfway point right before the full up or down press. If that’s the case, this really sucks and I get to add this (and off center steering wheel) to my list of issues I was presented with at delivery only two days ago. I’ve already scheduled an appointment at the SC for next week.

C141 - Welcome to the tesla posse...you'll get used to having some issues and not getting things that were promised...but it is worth it. They are victims of their own success and will catch up at some point...just hope that they have a couple of stalk modules in stock so that they can find one that works, for you....took three tries for me...
re the steering wheel, that is a standard thing, they tell me (I had it), there is only one position for the wheel to go on (it isn't a spline like normal wheels) and it is connected through a neural network that learns as it goes (even supposed to compensate for torque due to road crown angle) - mine has improved substantially since I got it....and good or bad, when they give you a new stalk module, it will have to learn all over again...

Thanks. I LOVE the car and the 100 miles I’ve driven so far have been pure fun. I’m confident things will be fixed but still frustrating that I have to bring a 2 day old car back for body and paint work and perhaps now replacement of a stalk. As far as the steering wheel I’ve read in other threads that the steering wheels were actually taken off and readjusted.

Hmm...I wonder about "taken off and readjusted", or whether that was just the layman's explanation of resetting the neural network to relearn the steering angle, which might involve dismounting the wheel so that they can get at the stalk module (the wheel has to come off to replace that module)...my guys were pretty clear when I pushed on it with them that there was only one way the wheel went on...since it is drive-by-wire, the mounting angle doesn't necessarily determine anything about how it operates...send me a link to one of those threads if it is easy for you to re-access, but no big deal either way...

It took me two days to figure out how to keep the turn signal on.
After seeing this thread now, I don't feel so bad.

C141- khoa64 (last post) from your linked thread says exactly what I was told. Much of the other answers are just people parroting what they know from other , conventional cars....
Alignment, of course, does need to be right, so that is a possible issue that the neural net can’t fix
