Tesla Model Y 2025: New design brings modern steering wheel and return of traditional turn signals (X @Tesla)
The Tesla Model Y 2025 has received updates including a new steering wheel with capacitive tactile buttons, similar to the one in the Model 3.
However, unlike other Tesla models, such as the Model S and the Cybertruck, the SUV appears to maintain a traditional stalk on the steering column for the turn signals, a decision that may better meet drivers’ ergonomic expectations.
The stalk appears to be dedicated exclusively to the turn signals, while other functions, such as windshield wiper activation and hazard lights, are controlled via buttons on the steering wheel.
This choice could be an attempt to balance technological innovation with practical functionality, as moving the turn signals to the steering wheel was considered a controversial decision in terms of ergonomics.
It is still unclear whether the stalk will be offered in specific markets, but there is expectation that the updated Model Y, with this combination of a refreshed design and more traditional features, will be launched in the U.S. market later this year.
