I sent this to my wife who has a M3 and hates the changes from the update. Your video helped us both. Another great thing about Tesla is how we all try to help one another. Thx
Oh good!!!!! That makes me so happy! I’m here for the ladies, to break it down in ways we can understand 😂 yes, I agree 💯 even in all my videos people will teach me things in the comments or teach each other. I absolutely love everything about the TESLA community. If only the rest of the world helped each other as much as we do:)
Sara: You have risen to be my "Tesla teacher". I haven't found anyone else who's unleashed so many pointers on our latest update. Since Tesla doesn't have a dept of Education (yet), you do admirable job! Thanks to Jasper... and others for discovering more features...
🤩 Carl, I am HONORED!!!!!!! That is the biggest compliment ever I think! That’s all I want to do is teach people about this amazing car! Just because I love it! 🙏
I can't believe I watched from start to finish. Thank you for making this video. I ordered my 2022 Model 3 Performance last Monday and it said I had 3 months to wait and then this morning it says June 6th to July 4th. I was told it's because I bought the Red exterior with the White interior plus the Performance model that my production was going to move fast versus the other models that people have to wait for until 2023. I would have just bought the original car I really wanted and that was a new BMW M3 Competition but this thing is $35,000 cheaper, a hair faster and I don't have to spend $7.00 + per gallon here in Southern California. Anyway, you made the video so smooth for me anyway and I like your tone, your pitch/delivery of what could be done and your experiences. Though I am a few weeks away from getting my new ride, I have drowned myself in Tesla videos and out of the 10 or so videos I have watched, you by far are the best. You obviously exemplify professionalism in every sense of the word. ~DC
I’m too short on time to answer with a long reply, but I appreciate these words so so much. Congratulations and welcome to the family! Let me know if you have any questions at all and I will try my best to answer them.
These were great in-depth tips. I haven't seen anyone do them so concise. I'm an IT guy and when we're trying to instruct employees I do this. I go through the process myself and document the steps. In my case I take screenshots along the way as if I'm putting together a user manual. Video instructions like yours will be a big help as a potential new Tesla owner. I'll certainly refer back to them in June when I take delivery. Thanks...!!
Thank you so so much! I figured out over 90% of this stuff on my own by trial and error. I don’t watch other peoples videos hardly ever. And the user manual wasn’t updated yet. So I really appreciate you noticing. And that is EXACTLY how I do it too! Pictures step by step and notes! Then video! I do it at work to for surgery. This is an actual self made user manual. And it was a lot of work and a lot of mistakes to figure it out! 💚
Thanks for the video. I appreciate the time and effort to research all of the options. I learned a lot about the calls, contacts and text messages. It's great that so many people are looking to you for help. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for telling me what you learned, Jeffrey!!! Yes, I’m so happy I’m actually helping people! And you’ve been here since the very beginning! 💚 Thanks for your support!
Hello, What an amazing video! Your ability to sift through reams of data and put the data in an easy-to-understand mode is absolutely incredible! I am grateful for your attention and your time, in creating, producing, and editing your wonderful videos!
Great work Sara, you are Awesome! Marc Wiens said to have success with TH-cam channel, do something that people need. You did it! I really needed this. Thank you!
Since I reserved my M3 I’ve been watching Tesla how to videos non-stop. I’m so glad I found you! I can relate to you so much better than all the guys out there. You go into greater depth and I’m really learning. Can’t wait to get my car! Tesla should be paying you! Or at least sponsors should! Keep up the good work. I subscribed so I’ll keep watching content you put out. Thank you for being Awesome!
Thank you, Lisa!!!!!! That is why I made this channel! For all the women out there that are trying to make the switch, or just did! If you have any questions, just let me know! I don’t have all these answers, but I’ll try!
Great review. I have found my best way to change fan speed with VC is using the words "set" and "at". For example "set fan speed at seven". With different vernacular, I'd get all sorts of speeds.
👆👆👆👆✅✅✅✅✅ Nice one! I’ll try that. I think I have adjusted the fan speed before with something similar but I usually just use my hand. I need to start using VC more for multiple reasons. Thanks for the tip! Hopefully others will read it!
Hahaha thank you! They are seriously the cutest most comfortable slippers I’ve ever had! If you have a girlfriend or wife.. get them! Target $10.00. Several colors! True to size but you can maybe go one size down.
Really great and useful video Sara. Spent most of my trip earlier trying out some of the tips you gave in this video. Admittedly voice commands for seat heaters didn't work to well with a British accent much to the amusement of my wife 🙂 Keep up the fab work!
This update meant relearning the entire system and I just simply gave up. Happy to stumble upon your video! Thanks for doing all the hard work so I can enjoy the technology of my 3.
Oh my gosh, I’m so happy I was able to help you get used to it!!!! I mean I love 90% of the update. But this was a hard video to make for sure. Trying to figure everything out on my own. The only things I learned from someone else were the two voice commands from the two different Johns. The rest took me about 2 weeks to figure it all out. So I understand. Then the tire pressure I didn’t get it figured out 100 until the night was editing and realized I did it wrong the first 3 times. Sigh. It was a huge update and the user manual was not updated with it. But we made it, Patti! And overall, I am in love and I hope you can enjoy it a lot more now. I didn’t even cover half the stuff! Just the things that people specifically asked me about that they couldn’t figure out. Insane! Thanks for your support! Have a great week!
Awwwww Thank you!!! Yeah, I released my true self in a few videos like new Tesla bug discovered and I bought a Tesla cybertruck by hot wheels, and my Halloween video.. but aside from those I’m usually trying to focus on the content that I need to teach. One day maybe I can fully have fun while still shutting up and getting to the dang point! 😂 I appreciate you!
Sara you are the new "Tesla for Dummies" video book for me! Thank you for your time and effort in putting this video tutorial together. I've had my Y since November 2021 and still learn stuff about it. Looking forward to your future videos.
Haha! You know, after I made this channel I wished that I did name it TESLA for Dummies! I loved those books back in the day. Still have one! But then I was like well some people might get turned off by that title or maybe copyright might be a problem.. but basically that’s my idea for the channel. Make TESLA so easy that no one is intimidated by these beautiful machines anymore! Congratulations on your baby, and thanks for your support!
Nice!!!! Let me know if you have any questions! I’ll try my best;) where did you purchase yours from? Are you happy with it, and did you get a good deal? People have asked me if it’s worth it getting a used one and I say yes if you can makes sure the battery is in good condition. I’ve always had used cars myself.
Sweet, thanks for the update! I love getting the chance to see the menus to get a preview of what I will see on my delivery day (getting closer, maybe March!). I keep having to fix things on my 2009 Murano, (replaced the A/C compressor, a 12 v battery, now an alternator) and I keep thinking “Gaaa, I could have bought neat accessories for my new Model Y instead!” At least my Subaru still works, so I’m keeping that one forever. I’m hoping the Model Y will go 10 years without any major repairs. Thanks for showing the details and minor upkeep issues, it’s really helpful. When delivery day gets down to “weeks away”, I’m going to get that giddy feeling I used to get as a kid waiting for Chrismas! Actually, this IS my Christmas present, but it’s a few months late. Thanks, Sara, for all your videos!
Oh wow, first off. I here you. Right after I ordered my Tesla my other car broke down. I know all about that!! Second, ahhhhhhh! I’m so freaking excited for you!!!!! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and keep me posted! You have supported me for a long time! I appreciate you so much!!!
I can’t wait to join the Tesla experience. I love to add things to my vehicles, and am unafraid to pop panels, add accessories and cool looking things. I love your videos and really enjoy your enthusiasm. Keep up the great work!
Besides just seeing your pretty face you were extremely informative and the video of the actual steps involved for each item made it much easier to learn the program changes. I am going to pass your YT site to my other Tesla friends, they could use your help. Thanks
You have no idea how much I appreciate this comment! I’m so happy I was able to help you! Yes, I would greatly appreciate you sharing my channel. That would be AMAZING, Thank you!!!!!
Nice tutorial. I was unaware of "save that". I have a tip for you. I had to reset my cellphone (reset cell provider, wifi and Bluetooth). While the phone continued to worked as a key to get into the car, Bluetooth was no longer connected for phone calls, messages, contacts etc. I had to go into the Bluetooth settings and "forget" my phone (even doing this, the phone continues to work as a key). I then added it back as a new Bluetooth device. That worked. Kind of an obscure tip, but one that will drive one crazy if you have this problem.
👆👆👆👆👆👆✅✅✅✅✅✅ Everyone read! Ohhhhh, I’m glad you brought this up! I actually have had to mess with that before. But not for this same issue. That’s a very good tip!!!! I’m glad you got it fixed, because yeah that can drive one mad for sure! Thank you, Russ! Always happy to here what you have to say! Have a great week!!!!
This the most useful Tesla video I have seen in years of viewing. I can’t believe TH-cam has just now suggested your videos. I hope subscribing and liking will let others find you.
Rick, you have NO IDEA how much I truly appreciate this comment! I just started this channel a year ago so I’m still super new. It’s actually very hard to get TH-cam to suggest your videos even if you sort of know what you need to do to help the algorithm. That TH-cam algorithm is harsh 😂 and very very picky. But no hard feelings, it’s only a software. But yes, subscribing and liking definitely helps, so thank you so very much for your support. Have a wonderful week and welcome to the channel!!!
Thank you for all the tips. As a video production guy I would suggest turning off your auto-focus to stop the focus from changing from the screen to your hand and back again. :)
Thank you, Scott!!! And yes, that’s very good advice on the auto-focus. Unfortunately, I use my iPhone to film… and it doesn’t have the option to turn autofocus off. Ugh. I’ve tried real video cameras, but to be honest I returned them because it’s just so easy and a lot less time consuming to record with my phone and airdrop the videos to my MacBook. Perhaps one day if I ever get big enough to have a camera crew I will get a real camera 🎥 😂 But seriously, thank you. Any and all advice and constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome here. Have a great week!
Thank you, I really appreciate that. It took me a long time to figure everything out and put it together. The hardest thing was the tire pressure. I actually figured everything out myself aside from the two voice commands the Johns told me about. No cheating 😂 even the user manual wasn’t updated yet. But I’m really glad that so many people are learning stuff from this video. I wasn’t sure if everyone had figured this stuff out yet or not it took me so long to get the video done and edited. Have a great weekend!
@@SaraJAwesome think you’re making everyone lazy and we’re waiting for you to do all the hard work! 😳 can’t wait to learn more so you better get on it! 😂
Hey Sarah! Thank you so much for this video, I learned a lot from watching it and I watched it from start to finish! The one thing I picked up on that you missed was that in order to get your Blindspot camera to work when you signal during driving you have to go into the menu screen & enable it, before it will work! Cheers!
Thank you Theodore!!! Ah yes, sorry I didn’t put that in there. I hadn’t had any questions about that so I didn’t include it. I figured everyone was able to find it. Now I’m kicking myself 😂 I appreciate you so much, have a great weekend!!!
You're awesome Sara. Thanks for your doing your homework and educating us. I'm awaiting delivery of my Model 3 in the next few weeks so this is really helpful.
Ahhhhhh! Congratulations!!!!! Welcome to the TESLA family!!!!! Good, save it to your watch later;) Happy to help! Make sure you watch my video tomorrow about rebooting your car. Will need that one too! Thanks for your support!
Note.. if you have FSD City Streets Beta (10.8 in my case).. when you tap the camera on the screen while driving, it saves an autopilot clip.. which is NOT the same. I love the "save that" tip. thank you!
I’m really happy to learn about the set temperature voice command. I find the climate control to be a lot more tricky since the latest software update and I didn’t think to use the voice command. Good one!!!
Thank you!!! You should be able to control the fan too. By saying “set fan to level 10” maybe? I can’t remember. And I haven’t tried it since the update yet. Or say “fan level 10” it might work.
@@SaraJAwesome don't forget you can always use the voice command "blow me" to increase fan speed by 1. Best used when Windows are up and no one is nearby...saves the shocked looks 🤣
👆👆👆👆👆✅✅✅✅✅✅ Y’all read this! Thank you! That’s a good one! Hopefully other will read this! Thanks, Robert! I really appreciate that! Have a great week;)
Great video Sara! I watched the entire video lots of great information. I am currently still waiting to be a Tesla owner it has been 11 weeks since I placed my order. I live in Canada (Toronto) and your videos have been amazing. Thanks again!
Sarah, thanks for your awesome videos. I had a 2016 Model X that I sold in 2020. I just purchased a new 2022 Model X and couldn’t wait to get on the 101 and start using the cruise control and lane change feature but the lane change didn’t work. I thought something just needed a reset and, unless you have another idea, I’m bummed that it’s now a feature in the full self driving option that I have to purchase for $12,000 ‼️
I’ve learned from Kim Java that you can say “Turn on three strips of bacon for the passenger seat” if you’re worried about saying “butt” in front of your kids. You can also change it up to say one strip or 2 strips of bacon and also you can use it for driver seat or passenger seat. Not sure about the rear seat heaters coz I don’t have mines activated. Lol!
Another annoying part of the new software is I now have to go two menus deep to enable/disable "Use Tolls" As a sales rep on the road all day this is something I adjust on a per journey basis; this is because when it is not rush hour the tolls roads do not save any time where i live.
Another awesome update. I'm going to make sure that my wife sits and watches this one so she can better understand all of the new features in the Holiday update.
Yes!!!!!! Hopefully it will explain things easier! The female brain.. that’s what I bring to the TESLA table! 😂 let me know if y’all have any questions! Thank you both!!!!!
Thanks! Yeah… I had to take 5 videos down because they accidentally shows my street:(… I need to fix them and re-upload but it’s so much work. And it was only for like 1 sec but it was still in them. Gosh darn it. Definitely my tip to everyone! Use Mars! 😂
Thank you Sara! You truly are awesome! You are so personable and I learn so much from your videos! I am waiting to order my Model 3 long range until congress gets it’s act together and passes the tax credits. Fingers crossed. I will continue watching after I take delivery. Keep up the good work 😊
Hi Sara, just found your channel here in Ireland 🇮🇪. Due to get my first Tesla M3 RWD in 2-3 weeks. Loving the channel and loved your diary of notes📝 . Must go watch some more. 🚙
Lots of people have given serveral Additional VC suggestions and other ways to save as well in the comments. If you look for these 👆✅ in my replies and read the comments above that I am replying to there is tons of good information! Eventually I’ll do another video including more ways to save and other voice commands;) Thanks for watching!
I have one on order, will be a few months before i get it though. Whilst this gave me some insight, and I was concentrating, I couldnt help but notice how much you show that massive diamond ring in the way of the tablet. I say this because you use your left hand to point to the screen not your right which surely must be less comfortable? Glad you like it, lol. Really though, im being serious after my joking around about your ring, its a good video.
People used to talk about how great it was that their Tesla got better over time via OTA updates. Now your Tesla can get WORSE via OTA update. Not to worry. Elon says "nearly all input is bad". Not sure how that addresses these software bungles, but that was his response to a tweet suggesting improvements. Great video, Sara. Thanks for the tips.
First off, thank you so much. I worked really hard on this one. I actually love the update. I love about 90% of it. The other 10% I just preferred stuff the way it was before. I definitely respectfully disagree that car got worse with this update. I am in love with the blind spot cameras, light show (which I’ve seen but haven’t used), the ability to reset normal tire pressures for people with aftermarket tires.. Etc. There are so many changes in the holiday updates there’s is no way to make everyone happy. It’s literally impossible. But the fact that TESLA tries to continuously evolve our cars for the better.. that’s amazing. My other cars just sit there and get older and more boring and lose their value (except the whole chip shortage thing they’re having good resale value for now). Our TESLAs also learn and actually do get better over time which is insane. Mine actually drives better than when I got it a year ago. That’s mind blowing. I’m definitely not saying people have to like it, all feedback is good feedback whether it’s negative or positive in my opinion. ❤️
@@SaraJAwesome and its Australia Day! So Happy Australia Day Sara! I have a Model 3 long range and we get less bits and bobs over here like the external speaker so its nice to see these things working.
Thank you Sara! These are extremely helpful tips which isn’t surprising since all your videos are well thought out and beautifully presented. I love how passionate you are about your Tesla. I am too! I really love it and I am a huge car nut. Owned 24 cars in my lifetime which is a little insane. But from my earliest days I have been drawn to cars. Have you always had such passion for cars or is it the Tesla in particular that captures your attention?
I've been able to say "save dashcam footage" and it recognizes immediately. Also to manually save recordings on touchscreen you tap controls> recording. Touching the dashcam button above the sentry mode button saves the footage. I also LOVE the blindspot camera on with turn signal feature, so many times Im driving at night and dont see a car approaching fast behind my right side
Really awesome and detailed video! You worked so hard and we appreciate it! Great work, will have to keep this pinned for when my Model 3 arrives in a few weeks!
Thank you so much! Yes, I really did. It was definitely a hard one for me. And the editing took several hours. Plus reshooting. Ugh, but so worth it thanks to comments like yours! I’m excited for you!!!
Put HVAC on Auto, then everything is on Auto. Say, the fan is too loud, so you change it, or touch Auto button to manual. At this point, the recir. button is still on Auto. If the recir. button is faded out either faded blue or faded outline, then it is running Auto. It will automatically switch on/off the recir. If you touch the recir. button either on or off, then the faded color will become normal color, which means manual mode, and it will not switch on/off the recir automatically. Personally, I like HVAC on manual mode, except the recir. button. It even works well on the Camp mode. Keep the recir in Auto, then it will pull in fresh air time to time, and saved battery energy too.
so Tesla does not provide an updated voice commands list, users are expected to repeatedly guess until they luck upon the proper wording? Bad Tesla. -- I can easily discover what Tesla users are complaining about with UI changes via youtube; apparently Tesla chooses to ignore drivers' opinions of their cars' UI. What genius at Tesla decided to make the regeneration/discharging representation line razor thin.
I have had people tell me and send me voice command lists but I couldn’t open them because they were links. But they were made by drivers, not Tesla. I am not aware of a readily available list distributed by Tesla. But I just tweeted does Tesla have a voice command list I don’t know about. So we shall see! I don’t personally have a major problem with the update. I love 90% of it. Just not 100%. But a lot of people don’t like change. And I get it. But I think it’s great that Tesla is always updating trying to make things better and newer. And if something really sucks they’ll change it later I’m sure. I personally love it. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t worked my butt off trying to figure it all out on my own with no help. I did. Some things were easy some things were ridiculous. I didn’t figure out tire pressure until last night at 9:30 pm. I shot the original video 2 weeks ago . I had to reshoot and figure out the tire pressure thing last minute. I thought I had it the first and second shoot but I didn’t.. so yeah. Definitely glass half empty/ half full situation.
@@SaraJAwesome Some people were wondering how to turn the heated mirrors on and off and they work with the same switch that turns on the heating element in the rear window. (you probably don't ever notice the heated mirrors in Texas I'm guessing?)
Excellent video. As expected, I learned a couple new options. I usually leave the wipers on auto, but when I need to do a single swipe (usually to placate my girlfriend when it's drizzling and I'm not bothered yet), I didn't know the voice command would work to return it "auto". So that's helpful. The other was the text screen that's now available. I was occasionally annoyed when I didn't get to a text message fast enough (that pesky driving aways gets in the way) and the message disappeared. Now I know I can still get to it. The one option I would appreciate for text would be to reply all when I get a group text. When I reply now to a group text (usually my brother and sister...about my mom 😊) it only goes to whoever sent the message and not both. Didn't realize that for a while. So that would be a good option. Well worth the wait. Seeing your notebook, that was clearly a lot of work. I (we) really appreciate the research you do. So thanks. Good luck with the drivers training. With your large tribe you're gonna get pretty good at it. Maybe another side hustle?? Probably too stressful. I only had to survive 2 of my own.
Thank you, Bruce! I’m surprised I taught YOU something! You’re always teaching me stuff! And I agree on the group txt, but I generally hate them to begin with 😂 Thank you for your support and wonderfully articulated comments and compliments as usual! Have a great week and weekend!
Hahahahaha! I think people just need to know what they’re getting themselves into when they buy this car. It’s is the definition of evolution and innovation. My husband is 34 and he hates it! He likes knobs and buttons and likes things to be EXACTLY the same all the time. He does not like change AT ALL. Me on the other hand, I’ll walk into a new restaurant and not know what to order and tell the waiter to surprise me. I love change, I get bored easily. I even saw another Tesla driver on the road and it was an elderly Lady in her 80’s probably and she waved at me and I waived back excitedly , she obviously adored her Tesla and was very proud. I think it’s just a mindset maybe. But I also think we learn to adapt too, and whether some of us like it or not eventually we will get used to change itself with this car. We also need to remember not everything is good for everyone and that’s okay, it’s also why Tesla keeps trying to make things better and better for everyone. But nothing is perfect.
Awesome SaraJAwesome! Good to see you again since your AC coil cleaning video! Still smells nice in my Tesla again. Hope all is well with you. Thanks and happy new year to you!!
Yes! I still have not had any odor since I cleaned my coils and changed the filters! I’m so happy! My method and choice of equipment was a success! I also started turning the heater on from my phone at night for 10-15 min when I’m done driving all day. Only after days of heavy A/C use in the summer. Works like a charm to dry the housing and keep bacteria gone. Glad yours smells nice too!
I think the new blind spot update is a terrible solution, and, I think it's dangerous. So, if you want to change lanes to the LEFT you have to look away from the road and DOWN, and, to the RIGHT? How does that make any sense? If you want him to be a safe driver teach him how to properly adjust the side view mirrors, show him the videos. Learning that was a game changer for me. Note: I didn't mean to be rude but this issue triggers my angry. Thanks for the video, the hints are really helpful. I don't care for V11 at all and your finessing some of the questionable choice by saying things are in a "folder" was generous.
Oh you misunderstood, MY KIDS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE CAMERA!!!! I use the camera from the passenger seat and make them use ONLY MIRRORS. ;) They’re learning old school. Otherwise they’ll be terrible drivers and rely on that. Now me using it is a different story. I absolutely ADORE the blind spot cameras. Now before when it was just a cartoon car on the screen I never trusted it. And on other cars if it’s just the blind spot arrow light on the mirror warning you or something I never trust that stuff. I only trust this because it’s a live camera. It did take me some time to get used to, but now I use it constantly every time and I love it. I always look in mirrors first, but then I look at the camera while I’m getting over if there’s not any traffic. It’s not for everyone, and that’s totally fine. All of us function in different ways and our eye hand coordination and eyesight is different. So if you hate it and I love it that’s okay in my opinion. Yeah, I mean I love 90% of the update. But not 💯 and I think that’s okay too. It’s so much stuff and so many different people it’s impossible to make everyone happy. And inevitably it will change again anyway. And yes, haha I referred or it as folders again the video that I just released 7 minutes ago! Be sure to watch that one! I came up with 72 voice commands just for the climate so you can not reach over and screw with the screen while driving! Thanks for your support! I appreciate you! Oh and you didn’t come off as rude;) it’s fine.
Thanks for good hints about v11 features. BUT, could you please make your volume twice as loud? I set volume to max on my end and could barely hear many of your statements. I watch lots of Tesla videos by others on youtube and it is rare i find a video with such low volume.
Hmmm, yes Ill try to make that adjustment. So sorry about that! I hav gotten this complaint before about it being too loud so I need to start watching them on something besides my MacBook before I upload I guess. Thanks for the tip!!!! Always appreciated! Sorry!
@@SaraJAwesome Thanks very much for your reply. IF someone thinks it is too loud they can easily turn down volume. IF someone thinks it is too low, they are stuck if they already maxed out on volume. I would say that I am a regular viewer of your videos and usually the volume is just fine. AND, i appreciate all your insights! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!!!! Yeah, it was super weird how similar the icons were at first to me. But the red dot made a lightbulb 💡 turn on in my brain. Like ohhhh okay. Makes sense.
Mean when they’re not grey and they’re not blue but like this dull greyed out blue? Yeah that’s annoying. The full blue and full grey don’t bother me really. But some things can be confusing and annoying at first.
@@SaraJAwesome if blue means on, then blue means on not dark grey. Example, seat heater in auto mode, enabled is dark grey, it should be blue. Many others are the same way.
Oh I need to go look at this. I never paid attention to the auto seat warmer button because I don’t use it. I’ll have to look at this tomorrow. Thanks for explaining.
Ahhhhhhh! Congratulations to you! 🎉🥳🎊🎈🍾🤩Welcome to the TESLA family!!!!!!! Let me know if you have any questions at all, and I’ll try my best! Thank you for your support, and have a wonderful week!
It really did! I wasn’t lying! And it was unexpected. I wasn’t a TESLA fan until I took delivery. Thanks for checking out my other videos! One of my favorites is a mechanics daughters story. It shows who I really am 😂
✅✅✅👆👆👆Another great tip! Yes. Others have told me how to do this, but I don’t know it well enough to explain it to others yet. Eventually when I know what I’m doing for sure I’ll probably do a video of the process. Have you done it?
Perhaps what could happen is you can get a list of the updates, and choose the one's you want to implement, I understand this could only happen to a point because somethings won't work because it needs to work in conjunction with another part of the app , good to see you back gorgeous 😊.
On my MX, seat heaters can be controlled by voice command ' driver seat level 1/2/3', 'passenger seat level 1/2/3' or 'rear left/right/middle seat level 1/2/3;
Hey Sara! Thank you for the info! I’m waiting for my MY in a few more months, but its good to start getting acquainted with the new updates. I’m now a new sub. Cheers and keep up the great material!

I ordered my 2022 Model 3 Performance last Monday and it said I had 3 months to wait and then this morning it says June 6th to July 4th.

Though I am a few weeks away from getting my new ride, I have drowned myself in Tesla videos and out of the 10 or so videos I have watched, you by far are the best. You obviously exemplify professionalism in every sense of the word. ~DC
I’m too short on time to answer with a long reply, but I appreciate these words so so much. Congratulations and welcome to the family! Let me know if you have any questions at all and I will try my best to answer them.
I really needed this. I am 85 and have a Tesla because I like all the driving assistance I can get to keep myself and others safe. Thank you.
That’s amazing!!!!!! Is there anything you don’t fully understand that you want me to do a tutorial on for you? Happy to help! 💚
The Blind spot need to move. My hand is in the way. I wish it would move up or to the right
Dang, that sucks. I’m
Sorry. It’s perfect for me, but I’m short with toothpick arms.
These were great in-depth tips. I haven't seen anyone do them so concise. I'm an IT guy and when we're trying to instruct employees I do this. I go through the process myself and document the steps. In my case I take screenshots along the way as if I'm putting together a user manual. Video instructions like yours will be a big help as a potential new Tesla owner. I'll certainly refer back to them in June when I take delivery. Thanks...!!
Thank you so so much! I figured out over 90% of this stuff on my own by trial and error. I don’t watch other peoples videos hardly ever. And the user manual wasn’t updated yet. So I really appreciate you noticing. And that is EXACTLY how I do it too! Pictures step by step and notes! Then video! I do it at work to for surgery. This is an actual self made user manual. And it was a lot of work and a lot of mistakes to figure it out! 💚
Thanks for the video. I appreciate the time and effort to research all of the options. I learned a lot about the calls, contacts and text messages. It's great that so many people are looking to you for help. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for telling me what you learned, Jeffrey!!! Yes, I’m so happy I’m actually helping people! And you’ve been here since the very beginning! 💚 Thanks for your support!
Hello, What an amazing video! Your ability to sift through reams of data and put the data in an easy-to-understand mode is absolutely incredible! I am grateful for your attention and your time, in creating, producing, and editing your wonderful videos!
Thank you, T!!!! I appreciate you so so much!!!!!
@@SaraJAwesome You are so thoughtful in always taking a moment to reply and I am so grateful to you for that.
🤗
Great work Sara, you are Awesome! Marc Wiens said to have success with TH-cam channel, do something that people need. You did it! I really needed this. Thank you!
Thank you, Thomas!!!!!!!!! I really appreciate that!!!
Since I reserved my M3 I’ve been watching Tesla how to videos non-stop. I’m so glad I found you! I can relate to you so much better than all the guys out there. You go into greater depth and I’m really learning. Can’t wait to get my car! Tesla should be paying you! Or at least sponsors should! Keep up the good work. I subscribed so I’ll keep watching content you put out. Thank you for being Awesome!
Thank you, Lisa!!!!!! That is why I made this channel! For all the women out there that are trying to make the switch, or just did! If you have any questions, just let me know! I don’t have all these answers, but I’ll try!
and Sarah is both adorable and FUNNY! Her personality is among the best out there!
Oh please, you are too kind;) ❤️🙏
Great review. I have found my best way to change fan speed with VC is using the words "set" and "at". For example "set fan speed at seven". With different vernacular, I'd get all sorts of speeds.
👆👆👆👆✅✅✅✅✅ Nice one! I’ll try that. I think I have adjusted the fan speed before with something similar but I usually just use my hand. I need to start using VC more for multiple reasons. Thanks for the tip! Hopefully others will read it!
I just started reading the comments and I have to tell you I love your fuzzy slippers! :-)
Hahaha thank you! They are seriously the cutest most comfortable slippers I’ve ever had! If you have a girlfriend or wife.. get them! Target $10.00. Several colors! True to size but you can maybe go one size down.
Really great and useful video Sara. Spent most of my trip earlier trying out some of the tips you gave in this video. Admittedly voice commands for seat heaters didn't work to well with a British accent much to the amusement of my wife 🙂 Keep up the fab work!
This update meant relearning the entire system and I just simply gave up. Happy to stumble upon your video! Thanks for doing all the hard work so I can enjoy the technology of my 3.
Oh my gosh, I’m so happy I was able to help you get used to it!!!! I mean I love 90% of the update. But this was a hard video to make for sure. Trying to figure everything out on my own. The only things I learned from someone else were the two voice commands from the two different Johns. The rest took me about 2 weeks to figure it all out. So I understand. Then the tire pressure I didn’t get it figured out 100 until the night was editing and realized I did it wrong the first 3 times. Sigh. It was a huge update and the user manual was not updated with it. But we made it, Patti! And overall, I am in love and I hope you can enjoy it a lot more now. I didn’t even cover half the stuff! Just the things that people specifically asked me about that they couldn’t figure out. Insane! Thanks for your support! Have a great week!
New MYLR owner and this was extremely helpful! Thanks!
Good!!!
Thank you for all your hard work! This will be helpful for a lot of Tesla owners.
Thank you!!!!!
Say "open service control" to get instant access to tire pressures. It works everytime for me.
Also open service anything else works too
✅✅✅✅✅Oh nice!!!!!! I’m gonna try this!!!!
@@44kas88 Good to know when driving. I used to say "tire pressure" to show.
Hello Sara,
Liked your video. First time watcher. My experience is that I am not getting Sara fully. There is a truly awesome Sara being held back.
Awwwww Thank you!!! Yeah, I released my true self in a few videos like new Tesla bug discovered and I bought a Tesla cybertruck by hot wheels, and my Halloween video.. but aside from those I’m usually trying to focus on the content that I need to teach. One day maybe I can fully have fun while still shutting up and getting to the dang point! 😂 I appreciate you!
Sara you are the new "Tesla for Dummies" video book for me! Thank you for your time and effort in putting this video tutorial together. I've had my Y since November 2021 and still learn stuff about it. Looking forward to your future videos.
Haha! You know, after I made this channel I wished that I did name it TESLA for Dummies! I loved those books back in the day. Still have one! But then I was like well some people might get turned off by that title or maybe copyright might be a problem.. but basically that’s my idea for the channel. Make TESLA so easy that no one is intimidated by these beautiful machines anymore! Congratulations on your baby, and thanks for your support!
Good stuff. I just bought a used Tesla Model 3 and keep learning new things from you!
Nice!!!! Let me know if you have any questions! I’ll try my best;) where did you purchase yours from? Are you happy with it, and did you get a good deal? People have asked me if it’s worth it getting a used one and I say yes if you can makes sure the battery is in good condition. I’ve always had used cars myself.
Sweet, thanks for the update! I love getting the chance to see the menus to get a preview of what I will see on my delivery day (getting closer, maybe March!). I keep having to fix things on my 2009 Murano, (replaced the A/C compressor, a 12 v battery, now an alternator) and I keep thinking “Gaaa, I could have bought neat accessories for my new Model Y instead!” At least my Subaru still works, so I’m keeping that one forever. I’m hoping the Model Y will go 10 years without any major repairs. Thanks for showing the details and minor upkeep issues, it’s really helpful. When delivery day gets down to “weeks away”, I’m going to get that giddy feeling I used to get as a kid waiting for Chrismas! Actually, this IS my Christmas present, but it’s a few months late. Thanks, Sara, for all your videos!
Oh wow, first off. I here you. Right after I ordered my Tesla my other car broke down. I know all about that!! Second, ahhhhhhh! I’m so freaking excited for you!!!!! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and keep me posted! You have supported me for a long time! I appreciate you so much!!!
I can’t wait to join the Tesla experience. I love to add things to my vehicles, and am unafraid to pop panels, add accessories and cool looking things. I love your videos and really enjoy your enthusiasm. Keep up the great work!
Yeah, their clips are great actually too! Everything pops straight out! I’m excited for you!
Besides just seeing your pretty face you were extremely informative and the video of the actual steps involved for each item made it much easier to learn the program changes. I am going to pass your YT site to my other Tesla friends, they could use your help. Thanks
You have no idea how much I appreciate this comment! I’m so happy I was able to help you! Yes, I would greatly appreciate you sharing my channel. That would be AMAZING, Thank you!!!!!
Very informative! Thanks for doing all the digging (pages and pages and pages)! PS: Love your fluffy bunny feet, LOL!
Thank you, James!!!!! For BOTH compliments! Lol Target $10.00 best slippers I’ve ever owned! 😂
One of the best Tesla model 3 TH-camrs I’ve watched, really clear and nice voice.
🤩 wow! You made my whole week with this comment! Thank you so so much, T Dog!!!!!!!! I hope YOU have a great week since you made mine!
Nice tutorial. I was unaware of "save that". I have a tip for you. I had to reset my cellphone (reset cell provider, wifi and Bluetooth). While the phone continued to worked as a key to get into the car, Bluetooth was no longer connected for phone calls, messages, contacts etc. I had to go into the Bluetooth settings and "forget" my phone (even doing this, the phone continues to work as a key). I then added it back as a new Bluetooth device. That worked. Kind of an obscure tip, but one that will drive one crazy if you have this problem.
👆👆👆👆👆👆✅✅✅✅✅✅ Everyone read! Ohhhhh, I’m glad you brought this up! I actually have had to mess with that before. But not for this same issue. That’s a very good tip!!!! I’m glad you got it fixed, because yeah that can drive one mad for sure! Thank you, Russ! Always happy to here what you have to say! Have a great week!!!!
This the most useful Tesla video I have seen in years of viewing. I can’t believe TH-cam has just now suggested your videos. I hope subscribing and liking will let others find you.
Rick, you have NO IDEA how much I truly appreciate this comment! I just started this channel a year ago so I’m still super new. It’s actually very hard to get TH-cam to suggest your videos even if you sort of know what you need to do to help the algorithm. That TH-cam algorithm is harsh 😂 and very very picky. But no hard feelings, it’s only a software. But yes, subscribing and liking definitely helps, so thank you so very much for your support. Have a wonderful week and welcome to the channel!!!
Really useful video, Sara. Thank you for taking the time to put together.
Thank you, Mark!
Great video Sara! Very informative.
Love your slippers! 😁
Thank you!!!!!! Also, Got em at Target $10.00! They are so comfy! 😜
Thank you for all the tips. As a video production guy I would suggest turning off your auto-focus to stop the focus from changing from the screen to your hand and back again. :)
Thank you, Scott!!! And yes, that’s very good advice on the auto-focus. Unfortunately, I use my iPhone to film… and it doesn’t have the option to turn autofocus off. Ugh. I’ve tried real video cameras, but to be honest I returned them because it’s just so easy and a lot less time consuming to record with my phone and airdrop the videos to my MacBook. Perhaps one day if I ever get big enough to have a camera crew I will get a real camera 🎥 😂 But seriously, thank you. Any and all advice and constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome here. Have a great week!
Great work with the voice commands! Oh, and nice slippers...
Thank you, Kevin!!!
Just seeing all those notes makes me appreciate you even more. Thanks Sara!
Thank you, I really appreciate that. It took me a long time to figure everything out and put it together. The hardest thing was the tire pressure. I actually figured everything out myself aside from the two voice commands the Johns told me about. No cheating 😂 even the user manual wasn’t updated yet. But I’m really glad that so many people are learning stuff from this video. I wasn’t sure if everyone had figured this stuff out yet or not it took me so long to get the video done and edited. Have a great weekend!
@@SaraJAwesome think you’re making everyone lazy and we’re waiting for you to do all the hard work! 😳 can’t wait to learn more so you better get on it! 😂
Hahahaha 😂 and here I thought I was the lazy one! 😆 Thanks for making me feel better!
Hey Sarah! Thank you so much for this video, I learned a lot from watching it and I watched it from start to finish! The one thing I picked up on that you missed was that in order to get your Blindspot camera to work when you signal during driving you have to go into the menu screen & enable it, before it will work! Cheers!
Thank you Theodore!!! Ah yes, sorry I didn’t put that in there. I hadn’t had any questions about that so I didn’t include it. I figured everyone was able to find it. Now I’m kicking myself 😂 I appreciate you so much, have a great weekend!!!
You're awesome Sara. Thanks for your doing your homework and educating us. I'm awaiting delivery of my Model 3 in the next few weeks so this is really helpful.
Ahhhhhh! Congratulations!!!!! Welcome to the TESLA family!!!!! Good, save it to your watch later;) Happy to help! Make sure you watch my video tomorrow about rebooting your car. Will need that one too! Thanks for your support!
Note.. if you have FSD City Streets Beta (10.8 in my case).. when you tap the camera on the screen while driving, it saves an autopilot clip.. which is NOT the same. I love the "save that" tip. thank you!
Interesting! Thanks! I didn’t know that.
I’m really happy to learn about the set temperature voice command. I find the climate control to be a lot more tricky since the latest software update and I didn’t think to use the voice command. Good one!!!
Thank you!!! You should be able to control the fan too. By saying “set fan to level 10” maybe? I can’t remember. And I haven’t tried it since the update yet. Or say “fan level 10” it might work.
@@SaraJAwesome don't forget you can always use the voice command "blow me" to increase fan speed by 1. Best used when Windows are up and no one is nearby...saves the shocked looks 🤣
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Thank you, I’ll try that one tomorrow hahahaha alone with the windows up!
Yup! That’s the video I’m making today!!!
Voice Command: Set Fan Speed to # (1-10)
I use this a lot in my car.
Good video and explanations!
👆👆👆👆👆✅✅✅✅✅✅ Y’all read this! Thank you! That’s a good one! Hopefully other will read this! Thanks, Robert! I really appreciate that! Have a great week;)
Great video Sara! I watched the entire video lots of great information. I am currently still waiting to be a Tesla owner it has been 11 weeks since I placed my order. I live in Canada (Toronto) and your videos have been amazing. Thanks again!
Well, thank you!!!!!!!! Ahhhhh! Congratulations! Welcome to the TESLA family!!!!! 💚💚💚
Just received my MY this past Wednesday. I sooooooo so appreciate your videos.
Ahhhhh! Congratulations! Welcome to the family!!!!!!!!!
And thank you!
Thanks, I like the trip idea about doing the year.
Yep!
Sarah, thanks for your awesome videos. I had a 2016 Model X that I sold in 2020. I just purchased a new 2022 Model X and couldn’t wait to get on the 101 and start using the cruise control and lane change feature but the lane change didn’t work. I thought something just needed a reset and, unless you have another idea, I’m bummed that it’s now a feature in the full self driving option that I have to purchase for $12,000 ‼️
Ohhhhhh what?! So it used to be included?!?!?! Like it was included for free with basic autopilot/autosteer? Maybe I’m confused.
I’ve learned from Kim Java that you can say “Turn on three strips of bacon for the passenger seat” if you’re worried about saying “butt” in front of your kids. You can also change it up to say one strip or 2 strips of bacon and also you can use it for driver seat or passenger seat. Not sure about the rear seat heaters coz I don’t have mines activated. Lol!
Yes! So cool!!
Thank you! Yeah some of my other subscribers told me about the bacon!
I heard that it works for passenger seat as well.
Like the rear passenger seats? Nice!
Yup! It does!!!
Thank you Sarah! You are really awesome!!👌👍😘
🙏❤️
Thank you for your excellent work. As an owner since 2019 I still didnt know some of these commands.
Nice!!! Yeah, I need to do another video showing a whole bunch of other ones I learned over times just trying stuff.
Thank you! It helps having someone explain navigating the controls. I will have my wife watch this too.
Yes!!! Have her watch it! Tell me if it helps her too! Happy to help and thanks for your support!!!!!!!!
Another annoying part of the new software is I now have to go two menus deep to enable/disable "Use Tolls" As a sales rep on the road all day this is something I adjust on a per journey basis; this is because when it is not rush hour the tolls roads do not save any time where i live.
Ohhhhhhh that’s a very good point
Wow.. Well done girl !! Thanks so much. ('Liked' and 'Subscribed from Canada)
Thank you, Bill!!!!!!!!! I appreciate that so much!
Another awesome update. I'm going to make sure that my wife sits and watches this one so she can better understand all of the new features in the Holiday update.
Yes!!!!!! Hopefully it will explain things easier! The female brain.. that’s what I bring to the TESLA table! 😂 let me know if y’all have any questions! Thank you both!!!!!
This was very helpful Sara. Thank you!
Thank YOU, Ron!!!!
Excellent job, thank you for taking time to explain all this good information
Thank you, Greg!!!!!! I greatly appreciate that!!!
Nice Video, Awesome tips, Clever way to hide your location by the map of Mars, that is another great tip!!
Thanks! Yeah… I had to take 5 videos down because they accidentally shows my street:(… I need to fix them and re-upload but it’s so much work. And it was only for like 1 sec but it was still in them. Gosh darn it. Definitely my tip to everyone! Use Mars! 😂
For DASCAM settings it is set to default to save clip if u HONK HORN. You can also set custom command to save your clip.
Yes, and what do you mean by set custom command?
@@SaraJAwesome in settings, notice "honk" is highlighted, click it and you can change it.
Thank you Sara! You truly are awesome! You are so personable and I learn so much from your videos! I am waiting to order my Model 3 long range until congress gets it’s act together and passes the tax credits. Fingers crossed. I will continue watching after I take delivery. Keep up the good work 😊
Joseph, thank you so much!!!! Well, the longer you wait the better the car will be;) Have a great week! I appreciate your support!
Hi Sara, just found your channel here in Ireland 🇮🇪. Due to get my first Tesla M3 RWD in 2-3 weeks. Loving the channel and loved your diary of notes📝 . Must go watch some more. 🚙
Ireland!!!! ❤️ Congratulations Colin!!! Welcome to the TESLA family!!!!! Let me know if you have any questions, I’ll do my best;)
Awesome, was wondering where the clip saving function went.
Lots of people have given serveral
Additional VC suggestions and other ways to save as well in the comments. If you look for these 👆✅ in my replies and read the comments above that I am replying to there is tons of good information! Eventually I’ll do another video including more ways to save and other voice commands;) Thanks for watching!
I have one on order, will be a few months before i get it though. Whilst this gave me some insight, and I was concentrating, I couldnt help but notice how much you show that massive diamond ring in the way of the tablet. I say this because you use your left hand to point to the screen not your right which surely must be less comfortable? Glad you like it, lol. Really though, im being serious after my joking around about your ring, its a good video.
thank for the first 17 seconds. it was very informative and didn't waste anyone's time.
🤔 Do I detect sarcasm? 😂 Sorry, I love to talk to my people.
People used to talk about how great it was that their Tesla got better over time via OTA updates. Now your Tesla can get WORSE via OTA update. Not to worry. Elon says "nearly all input is bad". Not sure how that addresses these software bungles, but that was his response to a tweet suggesting improvements. Great video, Sara. Thanks for the tips.
First off, thank you so much. I worked really hard on this one. I actually love the update. I love about 90% of it. The other 10% I just preferred stuff the way it was before. I definitely respectfully disagree that car got worse with this update. I am in love with the blind spot cameras, light show (which I’ve seen but haven’t used), the ability to reset normal tire pressures for people with aftermarket tires.. Etc. There are so many changes in the holiday updates there’s is no way to make everyone happy. It’s literally impossible. But the fact that TESLA tries to continuously evolve our cars for the better.. that’s amazing. My other cars just sit there and get older and more boring and lose their value (except the whole chip shortage thing they’re having good resale value for now). Our TESLAs also learn and actually do get better over time which is insane. Mine actually drives better than when I got it a year ago. That’s mind blowing. I’m definitely not saying people have to like it, all feedback is good feedback whether it’s negative or positive in my opinion. ❤️
We’ve been confused after the update. Your explanation was excellent
Yay!!!!!! Thank you, Rick!!!!! Have a great weekend! Comments like these make the work worth it!
You can say 1, 2, or 3 strips of bacon for heated seats as well.
Yes! Someone told
Me that! So cool!!!!!!!!! 🥓 thank u!!!!!!!
Your videos will be very handy when we pick up our M3 in a couple of weeks! Thank you!
Ahhh! I’m excited for y’all!!!!!!! Welcome to the TESLA family! Yeah, let me know if y’all have questions!!
Yes I use voice commands 95% of the time. So much easier than search the screen. 😊
I agree 💯!
Great update. Thanks... I can't believe you have a kid old enough to drive!
Me either. Sigh… 😂
Thanks
@@SaraJAwesome Good on you Sara! And thanks for making these respect from Australia!
Thanks;) Australia 🇦🇺!!!!💚💚💚💚
@@SaraJAwesome and its Australia Day! So Happy Australia Day Sara! I have a Model 3 long range and we get less bits and bobs over here like the external speaker so its nice to see these things working.
Thank you Sara! These are extremely helpful tips which isn’t surprising since all your videos are well thought out and beautifully presented. I love how passionate you are about your Tesla. I am too! I really love it and I am a huge car nut. Owned 24 cars in my lifetime which is a little insane. But from my earliest days I have been drawn to cars. Have you always had such passion for cars or is it the Tesla in particular that captures your attention?
Thank you, Jon!!!!!!! I have always had the passion! Haha! I have a video I think that you’ll love;) th-cam.com/video/1awY-Ip0Z3w/w-d-xo.html

I've been able to say "save dashcam footage" and it recognizes immediately. Also to manually save recordings on touchscreen you tap controls> recording. Touching the dashcam button above the sentry mode button saves the footage. I also LOVE the blindspot camera on with turn signal feature, so many times Im driving at night and dont see a car approaching fast behind my right side
👆👆👆👆👆✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ Everyone read! Thanks, Jerrboyy! Great advice!!!! I’ll try that! And yes, the blind spot camera is my FAVORITE part of the update! 💚
Really awesome and detailed video! You worked so hard and we appreciate it! Great work, will have to keep this pinned for when my Model 3 arrives in a few weeks!
Thank you so much! Yes, I really did. It was definitely a hard one for me. And the editing took several hours. Plus reshooting. Ugh, but so worth it thanks to comments like yours! I’m excited for you!!!
Great info. Really helpful. I only have 500 miles on my Y so need this!!
Oh good!!!!! I’m happy it’s helping! Thank you, Randall!
Put HVAC on Auto, then everything is on Auto. Say, the fan is too loud, so you change it, or touch Auto button to manual. At this point, the recir. button is still on Auto. If the recir. button is faded out either faded blue or faded outline, then it is running Auto. It will automatically switch on/off the recir. If you touch the recir. button either on or off, then the faded color will become normal color, which means manual mode, and it will not switch on/off the recir automatically.
Personally, I like HVAC on manual mode, except the recir. button. It even works well on the Camp mode. Keep the recir in Auto, then it will pull in fresh air time to time, and saved battery energy too.

@@SaraJAwesome 👍
so Tesla does not provide an updated voice commands list, users are expected to repeatedly guess until they luck upon the proper wording? Bad Tesla. -- I can easily discover what Tesla users are complaining about with UI changes via youtube; apparently Tesla chooses to ignore drivers' opinions of their cars' UI. What genius at Tesla decided to make the regeneration/discharging representation line razor thin.
I have had people tell me and send me voice command lists but I couldn’t open them because they were links. But they were made by drivers, not Tesla. I am not aware of a readily available list distributed by Tesla. But I just tweeted does Tesla have a voice command list I don’t know about. So we shall see! I don’t personally have a major problem with the update. I love 90% of it. Just not 100%. But a lot of people don’t like change. And I get it. But I think it’s great that Tesla is always updating trying to make things better and newer. And if something really sucks they’ll change it later I’m sure. I personally love it. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t worked my butt off trying to figure it all out on my own with no help. I did. Some things were easy some things were ridiculous. I didn’t figure out tire pressure until last night at 9:30 pm. I shot the original video 2 weeks ago . I had to reshoot and figure out the tire pressure thing last minute. I thought I had it the first and second shoot but I didn’t.. so yeah. Definitely glass half empty/ half full situation.
I'm not going to be a Tesla owner for maybe a year, but I'm going to bookmark this video for future use!
Thank you, Howard!!!! I’m excited for you! And that’s okay the longer you wait the better your model will be!
Good to also note that the rear defrost also will toggle the side mirror defrost
Wait…. What?! Please explain like I’m 5
@@SaraJAwesome Some people were wondering how to turn the heated mirrors on and off and they work with the same switch that turns on the heating element in the rear window. (you probably don't ever notice the heated mirrors in Texas I'm guessing?)
No! I had no freaking idea! It’s been like 75F all winter here. 😂 Thank u! So when you turn it on, it automatically turns the mirror ones on?
Excellent video. As expected, I learned a couple new options. I usually leave the wipers on auto, but when I need to do a single swipe (usually to placate my girlfriend when it's drizzling and I'm not bothered yet), I didn't know the voice command would work to return it "auto". So that's helpful. The other was the text screen that's now available. I was occasionally annoyed when I didn't get to a text message fast enough (that pesky driving aways gets in the way) and the message disappeared. Now I know I can still get to it. The one option I would appreciate for text would be to reply all when I get a group text. When I reply now to a group text (usually my brother and sister...about my mom 😊) it only goes to whoever sent the message and not both. Didn't realize that for a while. So that would be a good option.
Well worth the wait. Seeing your notebook, that was clearly a lot of work. I (we) really appreciate the research you do. So thanks. Good luck with the drivers training. With your large tribe you're gonna get pretty good at it. Maybe another side hustle?? Probably too stressful. I only had to survive 2 of my own.
Thank you, Bruce! I’m surprised I taught YOU something! You’re always teaching me stuff! And I agree on the group txt, but I generally hate them to begin with 😂 Thank you for your support and wonderfully articulated comments and compliments as usual! Have a great week and weekend!
Great post…. For turning on the seats by voice try “drivers seat 3 beacons”, or passenger seat …
, or 1, 2 beacons.

1, 2, 3 strips of bacon
Long press on wiper button to wipe 2 to 3 times depending duration of press
Very true;)
im 66 years old! my solution to customer complaints is...STOP selling teslas to OLD people, nothing but complainers i tell ya
Hahahahaha! I think people just need to know what they’re getting themselves into when they buy this car. It’s is the definition of evolution and innovation. My husband is 34 and he hates it! He likes knobs and buttons and likes things to be EXACTLY the same all the time. He does not like change AT ALL. Me on the other hand, I’ll walk into a new restaurant and not know what to order and tell the waiter to surprise me. I love change, I get bored easily. I even saw another Tesla driver on the road and it was an elderly Lady in her 80’s probably and she waved at me and I waived back excitedly , she obviously adored her Tesla and was very proud. I think it’s just a mindset maybe. But I also think we learn to adapt too, and whether some of us like it or not eventually we will get used to change itself with this car. We also need to remember not everything is good for everyone and that’s okay, it’s also why Tesla keeps trying to make things better and better for everyone. But nothing is perfect.
Nice------> waiting for my 2022 Model 3 Standard RWD. ---> April 14, 2022--->May 14, 2022. Great intro video Thanks

Yes! I still have not had any odor since I cleaned my coils and changed the filters! I’m so happy! My method and choice of equipment was a success! I also started turning the heater on from my phone at night for 10-15 min when I’m done driving all day. Only after days of heavy A/C use in the summer. Works like a charm to dry the housing and keep bacteria gone. Glad yours smells nice too!
Oh and Happy New Year!!
I think the new blind spot update is a terrible solution, and, I think it's dangerous. So, if you want to change lanes to the LEFT you have to look away from the road and DOWN, and, to the RIGHT? How does that make any sense? If you want him to be a safe driver teach him how to properly adjust the side view mirrors, show him the videos. Learning that was a game changer for me. Note: I didn't mean to be rude but this issue triggers my angry. Thanks for the video, the hints are really helpful. I don't care for V11 at all and your finessing some of the questionable choice by saying things are in a "folder" was generous.
Oh you misunderstood, MY KIDS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE CAMERA!!!! I use the camera from the passenger seat and make them use ONLY MIRRORS. ;) They’re learning old school. Otherwise they’ll be terrible drivers and rely on that. Now me using it is a different story. I absolutely ADORE the blind spot cameras. Now before when it was just a cartoon car on the screen I never trusted it. And on other cars if it’s just the blind spot arrow light on the mirror warning you or something I never trust that stuff. I only trust this because it’s a live camera. It did take me some time to get used to, but now I use it constantly every time and I love it. I always look in mirrors first, but then I look at the camera while I’m getting over if there’s not any traffic. It’s not for everyone, and that’s totally fine. All of us function in different ways and our eye hand coordination and eyesight is different. So if you hate it and I love it that’s okay in my opinion. Yeah, I mean I love 90% of the update. But not 💯 and I think that’s okay too. It’s so much stuff and so many different people it’s impossible to make everyone happy. And inevitably it will change again anyway. And yes, haha I referred or it as folders again the video that I just released 7 minutes ago! Be sure to watch that one! I came up with 72 voice commands just for the climate so you can not reach over and screw with the screen while driving! Thanks for your support! I appreciate you! Oh and you didn’t come off as rude;) it’s fine.
Thanks for good hints about v11 features. BUT, could you please make your volume twice as loud? I set volume to max on my end and could barely hear many of your statements. I watch lots of Tesla videos by others on youtube and it is rare i find a video with such low volume.
Hmmm, yes Ill try to make that adjustment. So sorry about that! I hav gotten this complaint before about it being too loud so I need to start watching them on something besides my MacBook before I upload I guess. Thanks for the tip!!!! Always appreciated! Sorry!
@@SaraJAwesome Thanks very much for your reply. IF someone thinks it is too loud they can easily turn down volume. IF someone thinks it is too low, they are stuck if they already maxed out on volume. I would say that I am a regular viewer of your videos and usually the volume is just fine. AND, i appreciate all your insights! Keep up the good work!
Very good point!!!! Thanks Wilber!
Helpful video, thanks! I completely missed the sentry mode icon at first lol
Thank you!!!! Yeah, it was super weird how similar the icons were at first to me. But the red dot made a lightbulb 💡 turn on in my brain. Like ohhhh okay. Makes sense.
Really good video, and you answer all of our comments. Rebooting was very helpful. Keep safe! Your amazing!
Thank you, Simon!!! I really appreciate you! Have a great week!!!!!
I would love to see Tesla change all icons/buttons color that are selected to blue Instead of a mix of blue and grey.
Mean when they’re not grey and they’re not blue but like this dull greyed out blue? Yeah that’s annoying. The full blue and full grey don’t bother me really. But some things can be confusing and annoying at first.
@@SaraJAwesome if blue means on, then blue means on not dark grey. Example, seat heater in auto mode, enabled is dark grey, it should be blue. Many others are the same way.
Oh I need to go look at this. I never paid attention to the auto seat warmer button because I don’t use it. I’ll have to look at this tomorrow. Thanks for explaining.
Thx for sharing Sara, You really did a great job with your notes & making it into an informative video. I learned something new today “save that” 😂
Thank you, Gusto!!!!!!!!
I'll be getting my first Tesla (Model Y Performance) next month so these were very helpful.
Ahhhhh! Awesome! Congratulations, Dave! Welcome to the TESLA Family!!!! 💚 So happy I could help!!!
Sara as usual amazing and informative video. Thanks for taking the time and taking notes lol. Have an awesome week and weekend 👍
Thank you, Mishal!!!!! You too!!!!!!
As always, entertaining and informative - thank you
Thank you, Shaun!!!!
Excellent video! Ordered my model 3, expected delivery in June. Thank you. Subscribed.
Ahhhhhhh! Congratulations to you! 🎉🥳🎊🎈🍾🤩Welcome to the TESLA family!!!!!!! Let me know if you have any questions at all, and I’ll try my best! Thank you for your support, and have a wonderful week!
@@SaraJAwesome Watching another of your amazing video now "TESLA Actually Changed My Life ...", you have sooooo many.
It really did! I wasn’t lying! And it was unexpected. I wasn’t a TESLA fan until I took delivery. Thanks for checking out my other videos! One of my favorites is a mechanics daughters story. It shows who I really am 😂
4th method of ultra hard reset is to remove the 12volt battery connection for 30 seconds or upto 5mins then reconnect and power on the screen
✅✅✅👆👆👆Another great tip! Yes. Others have told me how to do this, but I don’t know it well enough to explain it to others yet. Eventually when I know what I’m doing for sure I’ll probably do a video of the process. Have you done it?
Perhaps what could happen is you can get a list of the updates, and choose the one's you want to implement, I understand this could only happen to a point because somethings won't work because it needs to work in conjunction with another part of the app , good to see you back gorgeous 😊.
Unfortunately I think that would not be compatible with huge software updates. It would be nice though.
@@SaraJAwesome for sure .
On my MX, seat heaters can be controlled by voice command ' driver seat level 1/2/3', 'passenger seat level 1/2/3' or 'rear left/right/middle seat level 1/2/3;
👆👆👆👆✅✅✅✅✅ Everyone read! Good to know, hopefully others will read this! Thank you, David!
Can they bring back the Profile buttton on the top main screen? It’s just a blank space now, what’s the harm in bringing this back ??? 😭😭😭
I did love seeing my name up there:(
Very thorough -- thank you!
Thank YOU!
Hey Sara! Thank you for the info! I’m waiting for my MY in a few more months, but its good to start getting acquainted with the new updates. I’m now a new sub. Cheers and keep up the great material!
Ahhhhh! So excited for you!!! Yes, definitely better to start learning some stuff now. Thank you so much for the support! Have a great weekend!!!!
Great video! You can say, "passenger seat warmer level 2" etc
👆👆👆👆✅✅✅✅✅ Thank you, Nicholas!! I’ll try that!!!!
Sara great video, FYI you can save you dash cam video's by blowing the horn if you set it up to do that.
Thank you! And yes, I am set up for that. Good tip!!!!!
Great job and VERY helpful! You are a natural on-air! Sara, you are AWESOME!
No, YOU are awesome Neil! Thank you!!!!
Great thanks to your pleasant tutorial video. Cheers
Thank you!
Also reformatting the thumb drive gives the thumb drive a little more life.
Good to know!
@@SaraJAwesome keeps the drive healthy but they do wear out after a number of years. I carry and extra one in my glove. There is a button for that.
