62 Comments With its latest stalkless vehicles, Tesla has literally created a market for aftermarket drive stalks that attach to your steering wheel. The first products are here. Starting with the new Model S and Model X, followed by the refreshed Model 3, Tesla removed the steering wheel stalks on most of its vehicles, except the Model Y, though it is expected to follow soon. Instead of using the left stalk for turn signals, Tesla has added force touch buttons on the steering wheels. Instead of the right drive stalk, Tesla has added drive gear controls on the center screen. It’s one of several examples of moves Tesla has made because it believed it was on the verge of solving self-driving. CEO Elon Musk said that “any driver input is an error” and that he wants the vehicle to anticipate any driver input and automatically do it for them. The removal of the stalks is probably the most controversial of these “we don’t need this because self-driving is coming” moves. Many long-time Tesla drivers said they wouldn’t update to a new Tesla without stalks. Now, it has even created a market for aftermarket steering stalks. Aftermarket Tesla accessory maker Enhance has released new attachable stalks for the Model 3: The aftermarket stalks can basically replace all the original functions except that they don’t have any back-and-forth motions.
