Faced with criticisms, Tesla teams her Model 3 again with a flashing commodo

Tesla is known for its sometimes extreme decisions and its quest for minimalism pushed to the maximum, in particular to reduce the production costs of its vehicles. The latter, for example, abandoned any sensor than cameras, which has penalized the operation of certain driving aids, even the most basic, such as automatic wipers and parking aid.

Another radical decision of the brand has been to remove the commodos behind the steering wheel of the Model S, Model X and Model 3. If using the touch screen to go on front or rear is not as embarrassing as you might think, the activation of the indicators was clearly complex.

Admittedly, Ferrari or Lamborghini have already abandoned this commodo in favor of buttons on the steering wheel, but on sports cars with very direct management, which is a little less annoying. In addition, Tesla opted for a provision of the two buttons one above the other, wanting to reproduce the arrangement of the late Commodo, but this is not very fun for use. Result, it becomes particularly difficult to properly activate its indicators in a tight roundabout, for example, to the point of motivating third -party equipment manufacturers to develop solutions to equip a posteriori His car from a more traditional commodo.

The restyling of the Tesla Model, however, gave new hope to those who hoped for a return from the flashing commodo aboard the Model 3. Thus, the SUV certainly followed the developments made by the restyling of the Model 3, of which it in particular inherited from the steering wheel, but while retaining a flashing commoder. From now on, Tesla reintroduces this commodo aboard all of her Model 3 in China.

A retrofit possible for less than 300 €

In addition, Tesla offers Model 3 customers devoid of a commodo of indicators a retrofit solution. Billed ¥ 2499 (just under 300 €), it includes the installation of a new steering wheel with a commodo, identical to that of the restyled Y model.

The Tesla Model 3 delivered to Europe are also produced in Shanghai, it is likely that they also benefit from this evolution. Like the return of a complete connection to the Apple MacBook Pro, Tesla proves that it sometimes comes back to its choices … and listening to its customers.
