It wouldn't hurt. It could only help to expedite fixes.glad to see that I’m not the only one with this signal issue, but disgusted that the issue persists. Would it help to file a complaint with NHTSA?
Well, I drive a lot. About 100-150 miles per day.That seems like a lot. You might have the sc look at that.
Just found this thread and i have exactly the same.Everyone is missing the fact I don't have to hold it for half a second or more. I can rapidly tap it and release and it works. Until it doesn't work and then nothing makes it work. This ain't my first car with the half tap quick indicator. Ford has had this since the 2010s and I'm well aware of the functionality. I can even adjust it the number of blinks on my Fords for each tap.
The problem with my Tesla is that it intermittently doesn't accept any type of tapping or holding. Nothing. No indicator lights. But lane assist doesn't kick in, so it is reading a turn signal input.
Like I said a few times already. I purposely tapped the stalk rapidly like a split second. Sometimes not even fully tapped it, and it works left and right.
The times it doesn't work is when it really doesn't want to work no matter if I hold it down or whatever.
It's not just quick tap when it doesn't work. A full tap doesn't even turn the indicators on. Again this is when it doesn't want to work.
During my testing to try and reproduce this issue, it'd blink as soon as I tapped it or even moved the stalk. It's sensitive enough not to have to hold it down half a second.
Just found this thread and i have exactly the same.
9/10 times i can just do what i did on multiple previous non-tesla cars, a quick half-flip of the blinker to do comfort flashing, but then 1/10 times it will definitely not accept this, and even if i do it again, and again it will not work, sometimes i even press full blink and it will not do it.
The problem for me is not that it needs to be pressed a certain way for it to work in this situation, my problem is, it is very intermittend, making it hard to predict.
Happens most often in the motorway, when i am doing a flick to change lane, 9/10 times it works fine, the last time it does not and the car screams at me because i am changing lane without indicating, which is fine, if it was not for the fact that i did in fact do this, the same way as 2 minutes earlier, when it worked like it should.
VERY fustrating.It's frustrating right? The last few times I had it happen to me, I started tapping the sh*t out of the turn signal lever like 5-7 times and it never turned the signal on. Luckily with the latest software update, I no longer need to hold it / or go to the 2nd position. Just 1 half-tap usually gets it going until I finish the turn/curve. Except for the times where this bug rears its ugly head. I now just file a bug report whenever that happens. Who knows if they even read the bug reports!
Every service center is different. My service center in WPB FL took my word for it and replaced the yoke.So good luck to those trying to get theirs replaced. Be ready to demonstrate the problem in person or you might try demonstrating it a bunch of times. Ideally, set up like a dashcam or go-pro on your dashboard pointing at the signal to catch it happening multiple times while you're driving. I actually did that with the tech and could upload those vids as well if anyone is curious.
The stalk in the S is not so similar that one could acquire one and retrofit it in the 3/Y instead of the stock one they put in a the factory.The Model S signals worked flawlessly because they're Mercedes parts.
I've personally never had an issue with my Model 3 but I've seen a lot of complaints.
Maybe I'm not aggressive enough moving the stalk to get it to fail this way?
Maybe some of the aftermarket manufacturers could make some money making an aftermarket turn stalk that actually worked like one would expect.You don't have to be "aggressive" to make the signal fail (some YouTuber did crazy karate chops as an example), you just need to be lazy. A brief tap like you might use in a normal car is completely ignored by the stalk 100% of the time - regardless of how far it is pressed.
My service center actually sent me a video of them doing this themselves on one of their own inventory cars as proof that the dangerous failure is an intended design feature, not a flaw.
I think the team behind the S3XY Buttons are working on replacement stalks.Maybe some of the aftermarket manufacturers could make some money making an aftermarket turn stalk that actually worked like one would expect.
Would not be that hard i think...Just need to make a stalk that detects a "fast" flick and extend the signal sent to the car to a lenght where it would also be able to pick it up.
Pretty simple to do with a microcontroller...
If they make one that just works every time i will be buying one pronto.I think the team behind the S3XY Buttons are working on replacement stalks.
I don't think it is a "replacement" stalk. It is a stalk to add to vehicles that don't come with one.I think the team behind the S3XY Buttons are working on replacement stalks.
