    Thanks for your video. Love my new Model 3, but the turn signals buttons are disappointing and dangerous in some situations. Looking to retrofit stalks. Some aftermarkets are working on. UPDATE: I found a cheap solution for the turn signal buttons. I affixed a small adhesive letter R and a small letter L next to the appropriate turn signal button. With this simple fix, when I need to indicate a turn and the steering wheel is upside down because I’m in a sharp turn, I just look for the letter and press. Wish Tesla included that simple denotation, as my added letters don’t light up in the dark. Hoping with enough driving it will become intuitive.

    When you “flash” the high beams, it flashes a narrow bright light up directly in front of you. When you “turn on the high beams” it will raise the entire light beam up plus the “flash”. Same thing happens in the model Y and previous 3 (I have the model Y and have checked this multiple times in the garage).

      I am someone who tries not to drive in pitch black darkness at night. When I have to use it, the inside of the car reveals that magnificent view at the beginning of the video. Although this creates peace and comfort, as someone who has a "fear of loneliness and darkness", I must say that I try to overcome my tension in the environment by listening songs in the car and using interior lighting. After a while, when I focus on the road or get into traffic, yes, this fear disappears, but the lighting in front of my feet is a great help for me in such situations. It makes me feel more in my control of the car. I can say that interior lighting and foot lighting are the primary lighting options that will alleviate my fear on dark paths in the forest. I really love them.

      You know there's an option for those people that says "turn off ambient light", what about the people who don't have astigmatism and want to enjoy the lights and that doesn't bother them? Why do people take it upon themselves to just try to defend some part of folks while not caring about rest and that the rest should just obey? They add something cool to the car but have to "dim it" just so it won't affect your driving. Then just don't add it. Bmw, Benz everyone else has much more brighter leds that don't affect anybody.

      @matthewturner261 7 місяців тому

      I am not going to argue with you about stalkless design. I personally enjoy it more but we all have opinions. However idk why people were expecting it to be a lower price. It’s priced about the same as the old model 3. And also it’s priced very generously for what it is. A 5 seater coupe with ambient lighting and a big infotainment display. For $33,990-$38,990 for the rear wheel trim, $42,740-$47,740 for the all wheel trim, and $41,490-$56,990 is not bad. Also the fact that auto pilot is a standard and free feature and most cars make you pay for that upgrade is a huge bonus. I think it’s well within its range. And the performance is a steal. Compare it to the prices of something like the corvette or Cadillac CTS V and what you get compared to those and it’s a no brainer as long as you’re not a petrol head that has to breathe in those fumes while disrupting everyone else to “show off.”

    I think Highland will flop in the US because of lack of turn stalks.
    They spent money on stupid ambient lights and rear screen and extra gear button on top but removed the sensors and stalks.
    Sales of Highland will disappoint Tesla and they will learn and put it back. The moron who signed off on this and came up with this should be flogged. Bet it's Elon.
