This method of activating turns signals is fundamentally unreliable and consequently dangerous.  As an owner of the subject Tesla for just over one year, I find that I regularly fail to achieve correct activation, even with repeated attempts to do so.  The steering wheel control may: Not activate at all, even with multiple attempts to activate the signal.  I find no consistent patter as to why pressing the arrow or vicinity of the arrow fails to achieve activation. Worse, may activate in the opposite direction to the pending movement.  This is the most dangerous situation, misleading other drivers with regard to the intended movement.  It\u2019s also not apparent to me that the opposite direction has been activated. The problem is made worse by: Lack of tactile feedback from the controls.  The switches do not move perceptibly, nor is there any other feedback, such as a click.  The ridge between left and right arrows doesn\u2019t provide sufficient indication of correct or incorrect placement of the thumb on the controls.  Pressing on the controls within the vicinity of the arrows may or may not result in activation at all or activate the opposite one. The position of the control varies depending on the steering wheel angle.  The control may be very difficult to access, particularly where a sequence of turns in opposite directions must be executed.  Specifically, it is essentially impossible to activate for the second movement while making the preceding turn. I understand that Tesla recognizes the problem and owner dissatisfaction in that it offers a retrofit with a conventional and well-tested turn signal lever for $600.  Tesla must be compelled to recall these vehicles and retrofit them with a conventional turn signal lever or other effective control at no charge to owners.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"TESLA","productModel":"MODEL 3","manufacturer":"Tesla, Inc."}]}]}
