Tesla is shipping the Model 3 in China with a turn signal stalk while also offering it as a retrofit to owners who have already taken delivery of their vehicles

Tesla China has priced its six-seat Model Y variant about 30 per cent higher than its basic edition and has started accepting orders from customers who prefer spacious, long-range electric vehicles (EVs) for family use.

Tesla is offering a retrofit of turn-signal stalks for the Chinese-market Model 3 Highland after alleged customer complaints.

The company recorded 14k new insured registrations in China, a 60% surge compared to the previous quarter for Tesla, data shared by influencer Roland Pircher on social media platform X showed on Tuesday.

Following customer backlash, Tesla reinstates the turn signal stalk in China’s Model 3 and offers it as an accessory for existing owners

Tesla controversially deleted turn signal stalks from the Model 3 Highland refresh. Now they're back as a $350 retrofit - in China only.

China is spending big on EVs abroad, ex-Tesla employees build a new charging startup and Waymo's former CEO throws shade.

Hangzhou-based Unitree, seen as a competitor to Tesla's Optimus, won multiple medals. Beijing-based X-Humanoid and Hong Kong-listed Shenzhen firm UBTECH also impressed. The Chinese government has targeted humanoid robots as a key future industry for the economy and Beijing has plans to build a world-class industry of humanoid robots by 2027.
