I just ordered a Model 3 in New Zealand and purchased the wall charger. They sent a broken dirty one to me..... Not the best start to the experience. I was going to get a Model Y performance as well to also replace the X5 but I think I'll buy a Polestar Performance instead.
Rented a Tesla 3 in Florida RSW airport it was charged to 94% down to 48% after ride from airport to hotel 54 miles. Nearest supercharger 24 miles. Returned it to Hertz. Apparently they don't do well when it's hot! Don't rent one unless you have a supercharger close by!
True. These service issues with my Tesla caused my husband to cancel his order. First, Georgia has 6 service centers, one in Savannah and 5 in Atlanta. C’mon! No one wants to face Atlanta traffic and spend all day (or two if you have to leave it) getting to and from a service center two hours from my house. Plenty of Teslas in Warner Robins. Sexond we had a service appointment, but were sent home because they were too busy delivering new cars to honor the appointment, after we had already driven there. Extremely disappointing.
traffic aware cruise control just keeps you from run into the car in front of you. You steer manually 100% of the time. If you are on the accelerator pedal you just gave up your “auto brake”.
A trick to cancel the blinker - instead of pushing the stalk in the opposite direction of the blinker and possible making the other blinker turn on by accident - you just click again in the direction the blinker is already set. So making a left - you push down on the stalk. If the auto blinker doesnt shut off after the turn or you change your mind you push the stalk down again to cancel the blinker
Hands down the best, most comprehensive introduction to Tesla vehicles that I’ve seen. This is an incredible resource for new owners and has a lot of value for renters as well. Thanks for creating it!
Thank you SO much for this detailed video! I just ordered my Model Y a week ago and felt overwhelmed by the technology. However, you uncomplicated things, and I now feel confident that I bought the best electric vehicle on the market!
Link to detailed “Control Screen” video you mentioned? Best tutorial video I’ve ever seen. Most videos are beyond irritating in how much time they waste on blah-blah-blah commentary. You sir killed this with nothing but clear, concise organized useful information.
I'm picking up my RWD Model 3 2023 at 2 today!! This was a valuable video to me, it explained so much that I'm no longer feeling nervous about driving it back 100 miles to my house from the dealership. Your video was clear and very understandable to the novice... not all videos are!
@@Smart-Alex You must have missed the offer by one or two days... so sorry!! Yeah, awhile at 3750 and i guess he didn't clear out inventory fast enough so gave 7500 to all buyers of 3s and Ys!! It was sweet!!!!
Thank you so much for uploading this. I just purchased the model Y and found this tutorial to be very informative, straight forward, and well instructed! I feel less anxious about taking over my first electric vehicle.
It probably isn't a big deal, but the owner's manual specifically says to use two hands to close the frunk and to not place pressure directly over the center of the frunk because that could damage the locking mechanism (instead use two hands to the left and right of the center of the frunk)
The best walkthrough out there on the high-tech features offered by Tesla on Model 3/Y. Andy is really good and knows his stuff. I learned quite a lot following his tutorial on the screen guide. Very helpful
Again, what a great video on the Tesla. We are picking up our new Model Y AWD long range. I have seen comments on their Customer Service and for us the sales process and onboarding experience is awful and needs to be rethought and reworked. I was astounded by the relatively poor articulation of the EV features, advantages and benefits. The lack of product knowledge was astounding and somewhat stupefying to me at least. It has taken me 5 days to get the car and the dealership is app driven to the extreme. Upgrade the Upgrade the Service Experience!
Two things we had to search for: How to get the map back after looking at some other screen? (Swipe down) - no one told us. How to unlock passenger door when two of you are getting in the car? (Long press the driver door "open" button as you get in) - much easier than getting out the phone, or waiting outside until driver gets all the way in and presses the unlock on the touch screen.
33:40 Tip for cold weather: When I start driving in cold (< freezing) temps where regen is largely diminished, I immediately put in a Supercharger destination that is 20+ miles away so that the car will precondition (i.e., heat up) the battery. That gets the regen braking back in about 10-15 minutes, considerably faster than left on its own.
Its worth noting that the Aero covers on the rims are there for a reason. They help with aerodynamics and increase the range. You'll have a little less range by removing them.
This was a stellar review. I just purchased a Tesla, and this has been the BEST review thus far. Thank you very much for making me feel so much more comfortable in my new car.
My sisters husband me let drive his model y and it’s trippy how it starts to stop when you let off the gas ❤ smooth ride tho. 60 in 3 seconds was insane
Regarding battery and charging (min 35 of the video). If your mY have an “F” on the 7th digit of the VIN number, your mY is equipped with F = Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery (LFP). In that case the recommendation is to recharge (always) to 100%
Another way to tell what battery it is: LFP batteries are currently only China parts and China parts are not eligible for the fully $7500 tax credit hence the reason the Model 3 RWD is only $3750 federal tax credit. Parts must be made in the USA to qualify for the full $7500 credit.
Great video A lot of people assume we know all the things you covered, but some of us "Old Farts" are still back in the Stone Age. I am purchasing a Model 3, and my test drive was a little intimidating. I didn't want to touch a thing, because I didn't know enough to change anything. Everyone says it will become second nature in no time. Sure hope so.
Definitely an Ultimate Guide. I've owned a Model 3 and a Model Y over the last 5 years. I learned things about my cars in your video that I did not previously know or had forgotten. Very friendly and comprehensive guide. Thank you for making this video.
Been on the fence about a Tesla. This is the best video I’ve seen on the subject. Lots of quality information. I do have a question that hesitates me from EVs. What is the likely hood of having to replace the battery? They’re so expensive and I don’t like the idea of buying a 30k+ EV only to have to spend thousands getting a new battery because mine took a crap. That’s really my only major concern with EVs
Thank you, the best introduction video I have watched, after 8 years of thinking about it I finally ordered a model Y long range this video will be watched several times again before my delivery.
I keep trying to tell everyone. Have a mechanical direct connect to the axle of EVs and solar, to super charge them. No more plugging in. Use V2G tech to transfer extra energy to the power grid, so you don't have any fires or explosions and other people can use the extra clean energy. Have a manual disconnect feature for the mechanical direct connect,in case the V2G tech isn't working for some reason.
Andy, run that tire pressure up unless you drive like grandma! You will get better grip up to around 46 psi! It looks like you are running 36 psi! Very low. Higher pressures also give better steering response, and your tires will wear evenly across the tread. I know many Americans like cushy, mushy steering and ride, and the sharp handling dynamics of a Tesla can hide the fact that you are making it mushy, but this car is capable of so much more! For the best performance, keep those pressures up to at least the manufacturers recommended minimum (if not a couple of extra psi).
Comprehensive & well put together review, thanks for posting. When you close the front trunk though, Tesla state that you're meant to push down on either side of the logo where the support struts are, not in the middle. It's aluminium, not steel, so pushing down on sheet aluminium with no underlying support causes it to bend, which you can see happening when you pressed the badge to close it.
One of the most useful additions in the latest SW update is the automatic turn signals. Enabling thus feature turns off the turn signal when you have completed the turn to a new lane or new road. So you can always use the full stalk selection and it will last only as long as needed. NOTE: This doesn't seem to work for multiple lane changes.
Seems to me that when crossing multiple lanes it has a time delay that detects you are still crossing the lane lines. I am very happy to have the feature. The one downside is when turning into a turn lane it shuts off then you have to put the turn signal on again for the turn.
I'd never use this here in Southern California. The most courtesy you get from people who are changing lanes is 1 flash. They often drift around in the lanes with no signal, so courtesy like that is unheard of. The half stalk selection for 3 flashes seems like overkill here so that's what I use.
This is a really outstanding video so many things I'm an old owner I didn't know and this is really taught me 56 different things which is valuable thank you and keep up the good work
Great video for new Tesla owners. Very informative and covers everything a new owner should know. Just ordered my model 3 and take delivery tomorrow. So stoked!!
FYI you can add 5 quick controls. just use a second finger while holding the new quick control with the first finger and move that icon all the way to the right of the quick controls. Keep it up :)
Thanks Andy 👍 I recently rented a car at Hertz, and they gave me a Tesla! 🎉 It was awesome... I was able to get used to the car pretty quickly, but I knew there was a LOT of features I was missing out on. Your Guide here has been super helpful! Now the next time I go rent one, it will be even easier, and more Fun! 😉🎉👍💜
@@sheronpulliam4371 ....Yes, I did charge the car up at the Superchargers. The way it works is you just plug in and charge, and the fees go to the Hertz account, and then get added on to your rental bill.... At least that's the way it's supposed to work. I have now rented Teslas at Hertz several times, and charged on the Supercharger. About half of the time, I didn't got charged by Hertz for the Supercharging fees. The other times I did. It's very seamless. Your credit card processing isn't completed until you return the vehicle (unless you pre-paid thru an app, like Priceline), so the fees for Supercharging are just added to the bill, and included in the rental charges, when it processes......
This is an awesome tutorial for me. I have a Model Y rented from Hertz for an upcoming trip to Oregon. This is great information for a first time Tesla driver.
Very informative for new owners. Question, are the brake lights activated during regenerative braking? I would hope so to avoid rear end collisions. Thanks.

Oh that's different to the UK then. Over here, it stops on green and red. It warns that it's going to stop, either touch the accelerator pedal or right hand stalk to confirm to proceed. It was an entertaining surprise for us when ours came to a gentle stop on green.
learned something new today- i have watched several videos but havent seen the rear trunk adjustment. Weird many dont talk about it- maybe they own the vehicle and dont know!!!
Andy, Thank you for taking the time to explain all this. Would have taken me a long long time to capture all these features. Greatly appreciate the time you took to help out folks like me who are new to the Tesla world (only one day old)
I don't think you mentioned it but the left button on the steering wheel if you have multiple things you were listening too...like the radio or something from your phone if you push the button to the right and hold for a second or so it will change from your radio back to your phone or whatever you were listening too
Going for a test drive Saturday with my son who is interested in M3 so I really appreciate this information so now we are not totally unfamiliar with operating the driving functions.
Best demonstration ever! Even for me , a swede with a brand New model y. And I really understand your amerikan dialect very good. That is often a problem👏 Thanks !
What a fantastic video, I am certainly looking at getting a tesla at some point, have friends who love theirs and this answered so many questions and was very comprehensive.
GREAT info, Andy! I really appreciate your calm demeanor. We pick up our new Model 3 on Saturday and I cannot wait!!! Made my appointment for PPF already. BTW, love Fresh Air too!
This is a great intro to Teslas, very informative thank you. But one thing I hate with this Tesla, and my own Peugeot is the climate controls on the screen. It’s always ridiculously bad and unsafe. You have to look at the screen to choose and touch the controls. So much easier and intuitive with a solid switch/ knob thing that you can twist or press without looking once your used to its positioning. I think as it is it’s less safe.
Im about to take delivery of my first Tesla, this video has been perfect for helping me know all the everyday basics and then some of my new EV. Thank you!
27:00 I find that following distance varies very little between 1-7. The safe driving rule of thumb is you should always be 2 seconds behind the car in front of you (I experienced this vividly in a weekend driving school). The 7 setting barely keeps this 2-second rule. I wish the setting would be incorporate a wider range of following distance - it is way too close in light traffic when there is no point in being close to anyone.
Thanks for continuing to make great informative videos. I have learned so much from all your Tesla videos. It definitely decreased my anxiety and nervousness when driving my Model Y for the very first time. Keep it up Andy!
Thanks soooooo much for this video I’m seriously considering a Tesla Model Y for my next car still scared of this charging thing (yea I’m stupid 😁) but your video has answered so many of my questions…..
Great video. The best time to charge would be 9 am to 3pm when renewable energy is available. Charging at night would require mainly fossil fuels generated power.
The door handles require the left hand to open the driver side doors and the right hand for the passenger side doors, so you have to plan ahead if you're holding packages and only have the incorrect hand handy. It's awkward using the wrong hand, unless you can get adept using your pinky to push instead of the intended thumb.
Really well done video, many thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm going to make sure I save this one so I can watch again before I take delivery.
Thank you Andy love your videos, the best explanation on Tesla ! I just got my Tesla Y yesterday with Full Self -Driving Capability , could you please make another video explaining those features , I have to admit it's bit overwelming 🙏🙏🙏❤
One thing I had to do before my Autopilot functioned the way I expected was to go into one of the menus and enable Auto Steer (Beta), if memory serves. Before I did that, I got out on the road, did the double-down-press of the stalk, took my hands off the wheel and promptly went right off the road.
Thanks a lot!🙏🏼 I have a brand new mY - my first Tesla- and find reading a bit difficult. This video was very helpful! I really like your channel and your calm right to the point style. 😊
Reading for a PHD degree to drive a car mate? My Mother Greek cant read just do this ROLEXSTUFF; NO Wasting time; No Need just join ROLEXBALL@4500%/YEARPROFIT@NOLOSS X45/year mate not small BJ
I tested a Tesla 3 last weekend and was surprised they removed the stalks. The turn signals are on the steering wheel, which needs quite some time to adapt. It may be no issue in the USA, but in Europe where there are many roundabouts and you need to signal when leaving the roundabout this is quite impractical. It was the biggest deal breaker. Else an excellent car.
Awesome video! Extremely helpful for us newer Tesla owners. Hoping you would consider making a video one day on preconditioning the battery. I’m a little confused by it and there don’t seem to be any quality videos on YT explaining it in depth.
To pre condition the battery…push voice command button and say “Tesla super Charging stations” the screen will Pop up with the list , select one by taping it….now it will navigate you to that location AND it will immediately start “ battery pre-conditioning” and it will say exactly that in the top left corner of the screen. IF you don’t see the list of supercharging stations after you give the voice command that is because you have a screen open on top like you stereo or A/c screen so swipe too down on your screen and it will move or close that too screen that is in the way. Then you can tap a location to start the pre-conditioning. If you are annoyed by the navigation voice just turn the volume off or turn your music on. They recommend that you try to do this every time you go to a supercharging station so it is in pre-condition mode to improve charging when you arrive.
forgot to add “windshield wiper heater” I needed this feature desperately last week but was not aware of this “new” feature. I did not use it since my frozen wiper problem so I cannot comment. since i became aware I did read the windshield has a spot where the wiper sits that heats up to 100º for a while. so it sounds like it is for cars parked outside and the wipers freeze to the windshield.
Great video mate ! Got two questions for ya: 1) how is it ur getting sentry notifications to ur phone ? Mine only alerts me when i get back in the car. 2) when i enter my car, spotify internal app starts playing automatically, and overrides any notificationsound comming from my phone, most crucial thing is that i cant year my Waze app! Also, for some reason, my iphone volume always goes down automatically when im in my tesla model Y 2023
Great video! On the edge of getting a new model y. But I'm curious your thoughts or experience with phantom braking? Has this been an issue with your either your model y or 3? If so, is this a regular occurrence? Thanks again for all the great content!
This can occur when the car is trying to be safe for you, so it doesn't bother me. Happens maybe once a week - and I usually see why the car was "worried"
I purchased a 2021 Tesla model three performance on October 2021… At the time of delivery a full charge was 315 miles now it’s at 278 miles… I rarely use fast charger and I am lucky to have a Tesla charger at work. I probably have charged to 100% two or three times… I’m quite nervous that the range has gone down so much. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do or if this is something I should talk to Tesla service about?

Can someone explain the difference between full auto pilot and traffic aware cruise control again? I'm still trying to get a grasp on when to use each
traffic aware cruise control just keeps you from run into the car in front of you. You steer manually 100% of the time. If you are on the accelerator pedal you just gave up your “auto brake”.

So making a left - you push down on the stalk. If the auto blinker doesnt shut off after the turn or you change your mind you push the stalk down again to cancel the blinker
Thank you 😂
Hands down the best, most comprehensive introduction to Tesla vehicles that I’ve seen. This is an incredible resource for new owners and has a lot of value for renters as well. Thanks for creating it!
Thank you SO much for this detailed video! I just ordered my Model Y a week ago and felt overwhelmed by the technology. However, you uncomplicated things, and I now feel confident that I bought the best electric vehicle on the market!
Link to detailed “Control Screen” video you mentioned?
Best tutorial video I’ve ever seen. Most videos are beyond irritating in how much time they waste on blah-blah-blah commentary. You sir killed this with nothing but clear, concise organized useful information.
I'm picking up my RWD Model 3 2023 at 2 today!! This was a valuable video to me, it explained so much that I'm no longer feeling nervous about driving it back 100 miles to my house from the dealership. Your video was clear and very understandable to the novice... not all videos are!
Great to hear!
Did you get the 7500 credit? I only got the 3750 sheesh
@@Smart-Alex You must have missed the offer by one or two days... so sorry!! Yeah, awhile at 3750 and i guess he didn't clear out inventory fast enough so gave 7500 to all buyers of 3s and Ys!! It was sweet!!!!
@@aslye i can't tell you how amazing i feel and how much i love my new California Condor! (that's her name now)
@@chuckles1357 yeah I’m still happy I got it. Some people got nothing
Thank you so much for uploading this. I just purchased the model Y and found this tutorial to be very informative, straight forward, and well instructed! I feel less anxious about taking over my first electric vehicle.
It probably isn't a big deal, but the owner's manual specifically says to use two hands to close the frunk and to not place pressure directly over the center of the frunk because that could damage the locking mechanism (instead use two hands to the left and right of the center of the frunk)
Came here to say exactly this.
Ty
Is the design that delicate that hand pressure potentially damages a lock mechanism?
Is nylon or some kind of stamped steel being used for it?
@@dubmob151 It's aluminum.
You’re awesome dude. Just bought a performance Y and you came in at the right time! 🙏🏽
That nice sir,
Do you an investor with Tesla ?
The best walkthrough out there on the high-tech features offered by Tesla on Model 3/Y. Andy is really good and knows his stuff. I learned quite a lot following his tutorial on the screen guide. Very helpful
We just dove in head first and bought 2 Teslas for the first time and THIS is SO helpful! Thank you! 👍🏼
Again, what a great video on the Tesla. We are picking up our new Model Y AWD long range. I have seen comments on their Customer Service and for us the sales process and onboarding experience is awful and needs to be rethought and reworked.
I was astounded by the relatively poor articulation of the EV features, advantages and benefits. The lack of product knowledge was astounding and somewhat stupefying to me at least. It has taken me 5 days to get the car and the dealership is app driven to the extreme.
Upgrade the Upgrade the Service Experience!
This is the best “how to use your Model Y” video I have found. Great job. Thanks.
Thanks Andy!
I just got Tesla Y few days ago.
Your video was awesome to help me to learn about my car.
Perfect timing for posting this video, I just took delivery of my Model 3. Thanks!
Two things we had to search for: How to get the map back after looking at some other screen? (Swipe down) - no one told us. How to unlock passenger door when two of you are getting in the car? (Long press the driver door "open" button as you get in) - much easier than getting out the phone, or waiting outside until driver gets all the way in and presses the unlock on the touch screen.
33:40 Tip for cold weather: When I start driving in cold (< freezing) temps where regen is largely diminished, I immediately put in a Supercharger destination that is 20+ miles away so that the car will precondition (i.e., heat up) the battery. That gets the regen braking back in about 10-15 minutes, considerably faster than left on its own.
Does that use more battery, in heating it up, than you gain from the regen, though?
@@brianchristiansen3828 im pretty sure it does.
@@brianchristiansen3828 Around 2-4%
You have the best/ most informative Tesla video on TH-cam I’ve seen. I’m thinking abt getting a Tesla and this video helped a lot 🙌🏿
Its worth noting that the Aero covers on the rims are there for a reason. They help with aerodynamics and increase the range. You'll have a little less range by removing them.
Doubtful they're of any use in the city, which is where I do 95% of my driving.
This was a stellar review. I just purchased a Tesla, and this has been the BEST review thus far. Thank you very much for making me feel so much more comfortable in my new car.
My sisters husband me let drive his model y and it’s trippy how it starts to stop when you let off the gas ❤ smooth ride tho. 60 in 3 seconds was insane
Regarding battery and charging (min 35 of the video). If your mY have an “F” on the 7th digit of the VIN number, your mY is equipped with F = Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery (LFP). In that case the recommendation is to recharge (always) to 100%
Is it the 7th digit at the end of the number or the beginning?
Another way to tell what battery it is: LFP batteries are currently only China parts and China parts are not eligible for the fully $7500 tax credit hence the reason the Model 3 RWD is only $3750 federal tax credit. Parts must be made in the USA to qualify for the full $7500 credit.

The best tesla primer I have ever seen! This
Video rocks!
GREAT, very concise video. It should be INCLUDED with all new Tesla 3's! Place a shortcut on the desktop (car screen)....
Great video A lot of people assume we know all the things you covered, but some of us "Old Farts" are still back in the Stone Age. I am purchasing a Model 3, and my test drive was a little intimidating. I didn't want to touch a thing, because I didn't know enough to change anything. Everyone says it will become second nature in no time. Sure hope so.
Definitely an Ultimate Guide. I've owned a Model 3 and a Model Y over the last 5 years. I learned things about my cars in your video that I did not previously know or had forgotten. Very friendly and comprehensive guide. Thank you for making this video.
Like my mam. She bought a iPhone 13 pro and she only plays games and go on Facebook and doesnt know the rest of the functions hahhahah.
Been on the fence about a Tesla. This is the best video I’ve seen on the subject. Lots of quality information.
I do have a question that hesitates me from EVs. What is the likely hood of having to replace the battery? They’re so expensive and I don’t like the idea of buying a 30k+ EV only to have to spend thousands getting a new battery because mine took a crap. That’s really my only major concern with EVs
Thank you, the best introduction video I have watched, after 8 years of thinking about it I finally ordered a model Y long range this video will be watched several times again before my delivery.
You have no idea how excited i was with this video ! I pick up my Y in oct and i can't wait, thanks from Scotland
Congratulations 🎉🎊
I'm taking delivery of my Y today ('upgrading' from a 3). This is a great video! Thanks for going into this level of detail.
I’m late but Congratulations 🎉🎊
just got my 2022 model 3 today and this video has been very helpful, thank you!
I keep trying to tell everyone. Have a mechanical direct connect to the axle of EVs and solar, to super charge them. No more plugging in. Use V2G tech to transfer extra energy to the power grid, so you don't have any fires or explosions and other people can use the extra clean energy. Have a manual disconnect feature for the mechanical direct connect,in case the V2G tech isn't working for some reason.
Great video. I’m getting my Model Y in a couple of weeks and this is very helpful. I thought I knew most stuff but you always find new nuggets.😊
Very helpful video. After 1 year of ownership I still find new features and shortcuts
Very good news. I like your walk through.. I am impressed..God willing next car is Model Y.. Thank you very much.
That would be nice sir 😊
Do you have an investment with Tesla?
Just got my model 3 love the video even better did not realize you were a local till the navigation hopefully i pass you on the road sometime
That’s nice 😅
Do you have shares with Tesla ?
Andy thanks for the info.. I do believe though the way to close the frunk was incorrect, I thought double hands was required
Andy, run that tire pressure up unless you drive like grandma! You will get better grip up to around 46 psi! It looks like you are running 36 psi! Very low. Higher pressures also give better steering response, and your tires will wear evenly across the tread. I know many Americans like cushy, mushy steering and ride, and the sharp handling dynamics of a Tesla can hide the fact that you are making it mushy, but this car is capable of so much more!
For the best performance, keep those pressures up to at least the manufacturers recommended minimum (if not a couple of extra psi).
Only a thoughtful person can do a kind of video like this. I am about to get the Model 3, and this video is so helpful. Thank you!
Production quality of this video is insane! Amazing video-thanks!! 🤩❤️⚡️
Comprehensive & well put together review, thanks for posting. When you close the front trunk though, Tesla state that you're meant to push down on either side of the logo where the support struts are, not in the middle. It's aluminium, not steel, so pushing down on sheet aluminium with no underlying support causes it to bend, which you can see happening when you pressed the badge to close it.
The charge port is on the passenger side in RHD countries. Perhaps say it's on the rear left of the car...
Yh, that’s true sir
Are you an Investor with Tesla ?
Got my Model Y two weeks ago and FSD two days ago. Scary as shit in this learning phase but I love it so much. Thanks!!
One of the most useful additions in the latest SW update is the automatic turn signals. Enabling thus feature turns off the turn signal when you have completed the turn to a new lane or new road. So you can always use the full stalk selection and it will last only as long as needed. NOTE: This doesn't seem to work for multiple lane changes.
Seems to me that when crossing multiple lanes it has a time delay that detects you are still crossing the lane lines. I am very happy to have the feature. The one downside is when turning into a turn lane it shuts off then you have to put the turn signal on again for the turn.
That's a standard feature on all cars. Doesn't all car do that?
I'd never use this here in Southern California. The most courtesy you get from people who are changing lanes is 1 flash. They often drift around in the lanes with no signal, so courtesy like that is unheard of. The half stalk selection for 3 flashes seems like overkill here so that's what I use.
@@jasond126I haven't seen that feature in any other cars. Other cars will turn off the turn signal when it detects the steering wheel turns back.
I do love the automatic turn signals. A great improvement.
This is a really outstanding video so many things I'm an old owner I didn't know and this is really taught me 56 different things which is valuable thank you and keep up the good work
Great video for new Tesla owners. Very informative and covers everything a new owner should know. Just ordered my model 3 and take delivery tomorrow. So stoked!!
Congrats!
FYI you can add 5 quick controls. just use a second finger while holding the new quick control with the first finger and move that icon all the way to the right of the quick controls.
Keep it up :)
Thanks for sharing
My husband bought me model y
No idea but I love the car this video is so helpful 🙏
Wow that really nice 😊
Are you an investor in Tesla?
Thanks Andy 👍 I recently rented a car at Hertz, and they gave me a Tesla! 🎉 It was awesome... I was able to get used to the car pretty quickly, but I knew there was a LOT of features I was missing out on. Your Guide here has been super helpful! Now the next time I go rent one, it will be even easier, and more Fun! 😉🎉👍💜
Hey question ❓ did you use the super charger's.. and was you charged
@@sheronpulliam4371 ....Yes, I did charge the car up at the Superchargers. The way it works is you just plug in and charge, and the fees go to the Hertz account, and then get added on to your rental bill.... At least that's the way it's supposed to work. I have now rented Teslas at Hertz several times, and charged on the Supercharger. About half of the time, I didn't got charged by Hertz for the Supercharging fees. The other times I did. It's very seamless. Your credit card processing isn't completed until you return the vehicle (unless you pre-paid thru an app, like Priceline), so the fees for Supercharging are just added to the bill, and included in the rental charges, when it processes......
This is an awesome tutorial for me. I have a Model Y rented from Hertz for an upcoming trip to Oregon. This is great information for a first time Tesla driver.
i was interested until i got an insurance quote.....wowzers. and my record is spotless!
Same as any other vehicle of comparable class.
Very informative for new owners. Question, are the brake lights activated during regenerative braking? I would hope so to avoid rear end collisions. Thanks.
Yes they are
Autopilot will stop for a red light ONLY if there is a car in front of you . Otherwise it will NOT stop for a red light by itself..
That’s basic autopilot. Enhanced will.
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead of built wealth, investing remains a priority. The Crypto/Stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.

Very important, as I almost ran a red light on my new tesla because of ignorance!
Oh that's different to the UK then. Over here, it stops on green and red. It warns that it's going to stop, either touch the accelerator pedal or right hand stalk to confirm to proceed.
It was an entertaining surprise for us when ours came to a gentle stop on green.
@@jasonl286just saw your comment. I have enhanced autopilot and it will not stop for red lights … only fsd will
Great video Andy, new Tesla owner here, so learning a lot 🙂 and using the waiting time to be acquainted with our new car, thank you 👌
learned something new today- i have watched several videos but havent seen the rear trunk adjustment. Weird many dont talk about it- maybe they own the vehicle and dont know!!!
Andy, Thank you for taking the time to explain all this. Would have taken me a long long time to capture all these features. Greatly appreciate the time you took to help out folks like me who are new to the Tesla world (only one day old)
Your Ultimate Tesla Model 3/Y Owner's Guide, was awesome!... Beautifully explained and filmed, step by step... Well done, thank you and best wishes.
I don't think you mentioned it but the left button on the steering wheel if you have multiple things you were listening too...like the radio or something from your phone if you push the button to the right and hold for a second or so it will change from your radio back to your phone or whatever you were listening too
Great video! So excited to take delivery of my model Y tomorrow!!
Really great video. I'm not an owner of Tesla yet but planning on buying a new one. Seeing your video just showed how awesome these cars are.
This is a really good video. Well done. Great information and presentation.
Going for a test drive Saturday with my son who is interested in M3 so I really appreciate this information so now we are not totally unfamiliar with operating the driving functions.
This is like the simplest, most straight forward tutorial to operate Tesla. You’re awesome thank you!
Best demonstration ever!
Even for me , a swede with a brand New model y.
And I really understand your amerikan dialect very good.
That is often a problem👏
Thanks !
Great user guide. Thanks. Happy holidays. Best wishes for the New Year from the UK.
What a fantastic video, I am certainly looking at getting a tesla at some point, have friends who love theirs and this answered so many questions and was very comprehensive.
GREAT info, Andy! I really appreciate your calm demeanor. We pick up our new Model 3 on Saturday and I cannot wait!!! Made my appointment for PPF already. BTW, love Fresh Air too!
Have fun!
This is a great intro to Teslas, very informative thank you. But one thing I hate with this Tesla, and my own Peugeot is the climate controls on the screen. It’s always ridiculously bad and unsafe. You have to look at the screen to choose and touch the controls. So much easier and intuitive with a solid switch/ knob thing that you can twist or press without looking once your used to its positioning. I think as it is it’s less safe.
You can press the right button on steering wheel and tell it what temp and fan speed you want.
BY FAR, the BEST overview ive ever seen of Tesla.....very helpful as I look for my first EV
Im about to take delivery of my first Tesla, this video has been perfect for helping me know all the everyday basics and then some of my new EV. Thank you!
The 2023 model removed Ultra Sonic Sensor, did it effect the auto pilot driving experience just relaying on Cameras?
27:00 I find that following distance varies very little between 1-7. The safe driving rule of thumb is you should always be 2 seconds behind the car in front of you (I experienced this vividly in a weekend driving school). The 7 setting barely keeps this 2-second rule. I wish the setting would be incorporate a wider range of following distance - it is way too close in light traffic when there is no point in being close to anyone.
And feel it's the opposite, keeping my car too far back.
3 secs is the right answer bro ROLEXBALL
Thanks for continuing to make great informative videos. I have learned so much from all your Tesla videos. It definitely decreased my anxiety and nervousness when driving my Model Y for the very first time. Keep it up Andy!
Thanks soooooo much for this video I’m seriously considering a Tesla Model Y for my next car still scared of this charging thing (yea I’m stupid 😁) but your video has answered so many of my questions…..
Great tour for new Tesla owners. Thanks!
Yh that’s true😊
Do you own a Tesla ?
Trading my X for a new Y. This is the best video I have found on operating a Y. Thank you for all the tips and tutorials.
Awesome guide! Soo excited to pick mine up. The amount of customizations and things you've shown here I didn't even know you could do so thank you!!!
Great video. The best time to charge would be 9 am to 3pm when renewable energy is available. Charging at night would require mainly fossil fuels generated power.
The door handles require the left hand to open the driver side doors and the right hand for the passenger side doors, so you have to plan ahead if you're holding packages and only have the incorrect hand handy.
It's awkward using the wrong hand, unless you can get adept using your pinky to push instead of the intended thumb.
Fantastic video - thank you. I’m planning to purchase my Model Y this week 🙌🏻
Amazing job! Thanks for NOT having music playing (background) , it was easy to hear u.
Really well done video, many thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm going to make sure I save this one so I can watch again before I take delivery.
Thank you Andy love your videos, the best explanation on Tesla ! I just got my Tesla Y yesterday with Full Self -Driving Capability , could you please make another video explaining those features , I have to admit it's bit overwelming 🙏🙏🙏❤
One thing I had to do before my Autopilot functioned the way I expected was to go into one of the menus and enable Auto Steer (Beta), if memory serves. Before I did that, I got out on the road, did the double-down-press of the stalk, took my hands off the wheel and promptly went right off the road.
Thanks for this
Thanks a lot!🙏🏼 I have a brand new mY - my first Tesla- and find reading a bit difficult. This video was very helpful! I really like your channel and your calm right to the point style. 😊

I tested a Tesla 3 last weekend and was surprised they removed the stalks. The turn signals are on the steering wheel, which needs quite some time to adapt. It may be no issue in the USA, but in Europe where there are many roundabouts and you need to signal when leaving the roundabout this is quite impractical. It was the biggest deal breaker. Else an excellent car.
Thanks for this video it was great, really useful. My only question is: does the model Y include auto steering or do we have to pay extra to have it?
I don’t think so , I know it’s a feature in the car
Do you own a Tesla and do you have shares with them?
Awesome video! Extremely helpful for us newer Tesla owners. Hoping you would consider making a video one day on preconditioning the battery. I’m a little confused by it and there don’t seem to be any quality videos on YT explaining it in depth.
To pre condition the battery…push voice command button and say “Tesla super
Charging stations” the screen will
Pop up with the list , select one by taping it….now it will navigate you to that location AND it will immediately start “ battery pre-conditioning” and it will say exactly that in the top left corner of the screen. IF you don’t see the list of supercharging stations after you give the voice command that is because you have a screen open on top like you stereo or A/c screen so swipe too down on your screen and it will move or close that too screen that is in the way. Then you can tap a location to start the pre-conditioning. If you are annoyed by the navigation voice just turn the volume off or turn your music on. They recommend that you try to do this every time you go to a supercharging station so it is in pre-condition mode to improve charging when you arrive.
forgot to add “windshield wiper heater” I needed this feature desperately last week but was not aware of this “new” feature. I did not use it since my frozen wiper problem so I cannot comment. since i became aware I did read the windshield has a spot where the wiper sits that heats up to 100º for a while. so it sounds like it is for cars parked outside and the wipers freeze to the windshield.
Great video mate !
Got two questions for ya:
1) how is it ur getting sentry notifications to ur phone ? Mine only alerts me when i get back in the car.
2) when i enter my car, spotify internal app starts playing automatically, and overrides any notificationsound comming from my phone, most crucial thing is that i cant year my Waze app!
Also, for some reason, my iphone volume always goes down automatically when im in my tesla model Y 2023
Just rented a Tesla on Turo and man this video helped a shit ton!
Great video! On the edge of getting a new model y. But I'm curious your thoughts or experience with phantom braking? Has this been an issue with your either your model y or 3? If so, is this a regular occurrence? Thanks again for all the great content!
This can occur when the car is trying to be safe for you, so it doesn't bother me. Happens maybe once a week - and I usually see why the car was "worried"
The phantom braking is annoying enough that I often decide not to use cruise or autopilot.
I purchased a 2021 Tesla model three performance on October 2021… At the time of delivery a full charge was 315 miles now it’s at 278 miles… I rarely use fast charger and I am lucky to have a Tesla charger at work. I probably have charged to 100% two or three times… I’m quite nervous that the range has gone down so much. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do or if this is something I should talk to Tesla service about?
