Introduction
As our Tesla fans already know that new Tesla Model 3 Highland doesn't come with a physical gear selector or turn signal lever, instead you have to go on the touch screen and make the gear selection, and for the turn signal indicators you have to press on the buttons that are embedded within the steering wheel. This may be a good choice for those who love minimalist design, but for those who has got used to shift gear habitually by physical stalk this stalkless design may causes some confusions.
Details

New Tesla Model 3 Highland ditched the old-school turn signal and gear shift stalks, opting instead for some slick buttons on the steering wheel. What used to be a no-brainer now feels a bit more complex. Especially if you are the fist time to drive this stalkless design car on the road, in an emergency, you might freak out wondering how dangerous it could be if, for any reason, the car won't shift gears. Having that gear shift right in front of you would definitely feel more intuitive.But don't worry, VEEKYS shares here 4 ways to switch gears in Highland: the automatic system that guesses your next move and picks the gear for you, or you can manually take the reins using the touchscreen, the extra buttons on the ceiling, or by using a VEEKYS's physical stalk kit.
Method 1 to shift: Auto Shift Out of Park (Beta)
The Model 3 senses when you're seated and ready to roll, activating Auto-Shift Out of Park. It peeks through the external cameras, takes a guess at whether you want to move forward or back, and waits for you to confirm by tapping the brake pedal. Keep in mind, that this feature's still testing the waters, so its accuracy might be hit or miss.

Method 2 to shift: Touchscreen Buttons
Not feeling the auto shift? If you’re more of a hands-on driver, you can use the touchscreen on the driver’s side of the infotainment system to slide the car icon up for drive or down for reverse. Park is just a tap away on the 'P' at the top left, and there's a button for neutral at the bottom.
Method 3 to shift: Overhead Buttons
If the touchscreen gives up on you and you need to take manual control, check out the semi-hidden touch-sensitive PRND buttons on the ceiling panel near the rearview mirror. You'll find 'P' and 'R' to the left of the hazard switch, and 'N' and 'D' to the right. They don't light up until you touch them, but they're pretty visible unless it's super dim inside.

Method 4 to shift: install an additional physical stalk kit
For those who dig physical controls, VEEKYS newest launched the physical stalk kit might just be your jam.
This physical stalk is straintforward and reliable, just one flick and you are set. It is especially handy on winding roads or roundabouts where the steering wheel might not be straight. Just with a quick and non-invasive installation, it returns you the pure tactile feel, bringing back the classical driving experience. Plus, it is also a solid backup if the screen conks out.
