it home reported on august 29 that although tesla electric cars have been well received, some of its cutting-edge technology designs have also attracted some criticism, such as integrating the turn signal button on the steering wheel. recently, a norwegian driving school designed a clever modification plan and achieved good results.

elite trafikkskole as in norway has several tesla models for teaching. previously, the models it used (such as the model y) all used traditional turn signal levers, but the newly purchased model 3 uses touch-sensitive turn signal buttons integrated on the steering wheel. jon kjetil kallekodt, the driving school's daily operations manager, said they were not satisfied with the touch-sensitive turn signal on the model 3 steering wheel.

to solve this problem, the driving school tried two modification solutions. the first was to install a third-party traditional turn signal lever for the new model 3 that can be installed later. the second was to install a programmable wireless button on the back of the steering wheel to control the turn signal. according to tek.no, a norwegian technology news website, the programmable wireless button works very well.

by mounting the wireless buttons on the back of the model 3 steering wheel, students can easily operate the turn signals when needed. kallekodt noted that the buttons on the back of the steering wheel are perfectly positioned for students to easily reach when they hold the steering wheel correctly.

“we’re used to having the turn signal paddles on the back of the steering wheel, so it was natural to put these programmable buttons there as well. when we teach our students the correct steering wheel grip, they can easily reach these buttons,” kallekodt said.

it home noticed that the modification plan of the driving school seems to have been effective in actual teaching. they even installed this programmable wireless button on the model y and the old model 3 models that were originally equipped with traditional shift levers. the driving school also announced on its official facebook page that a 19-year-old student had successfully passed the driving test, and the vehicle used was the modified model 3.
