Ctrl-Platform Kickstarter: Physical Buttons for Tesla, Backed by 21 Countries

Ctrl-Platform’s Kickstarter campaign closed fully funded. Backers from 21 countries across Europe, North America, Asia, and beyond supported the campaign without a single dollar spent on advertising.

Tesla Model 3 and Model Y owners around the world found us on their own, because they wanted the same thing we built: better, more intuitive physical control of their car.

What backers said they were most excited about

Adjusting climate without a single glance at the screen

The confidence of physical feedback feeling the click, knowing the command registered

Ctrl-Stripe’s ambient lighting for a calmer, more enjoyable night drive

Visual safety alerts through LED lighting that reach you without screen interaction

The most common theme: Ctrl-Platform makes driving a Tesla more fun, more confident, and more focused.

Building on what Ctrl-Bar 1 owners taught us

Ctrl-Bar 1 launched in February 2023 and reached customers in more than 30 countries. The feedback we gathered over those years shaped every detail of Ctrl-Platform — from the knob resistance to the surface coating to the way Ctrl-Stripe integrates with the rest of the system.

Campaign closed. Pre-orders open.

Production is underway. Factory contract is signed. Deliveries start April/May 2026 for Tesla Model 3 and Y (pre-refresh), and May/June 2026 for Model 3 Highland and Model Y Juniper.
