One feature that I learned recently was programming the rear hatch! If you have a power hatch, you can manually put the lid where you want to open, press and hold the close button on the hatch lid for three seconds, it will beep, and every time after that it will only open to that height! Great if you have a low hanging ceiling in your garage or any other need to not have it open all the way.
My tip is that everyday apps on your phone can port an address to your car’s navigation system when your SHARE it to the Tesla App. Works a treat.
I love that! Use it a ton. At least I did before quarantine 😂
I learned about this last week smh. i’ve been thumbing in addresses on the screen like a neanderthal for half a year smh.
How do you do this?
Sadly it does not work on my Android phone :/
@@vadam59 it works on my android phones. Try it on Google maps.
When Charging. Push the button on the charging handle 10 times and you get a fun rainbow T
I'd forgotten about getting out the car before self-park! Good call :)
I didn't see this elsewhere in the comments, but a while back, someone clued me in that when I'm at home, I can swipe down on the Navigate button to navigate to work and similarly, when I'm away from home, I can swipe down on that Navigate button to navigate home. Saves me a tap or two each time I want to go to Home or Work. :)
Best reason ever to have a sponsor! And no BS explanation, much appreciated!
They're legit good people. As soon as they heard of coronavirus in US, they offered to send me masks
The best feature you haven't mentioned is the access to your calendar and the automatic navigation based on that. :)
I love my auto-folding mirrors that I can program at all my favorite take out coffee places. Auto fold in - auto fold out. Great stuff. Thanks for the tips.i learned a few here today.
plug in a seatbelt in the back and the rear hvac will stay on.
What’s hvac
@@SouthParkStudio Heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
Ok, I thought I knew them all, but I learned today from this video about the double tap Park to go into a parking spot ahead or behind. Learn something everyday. Thanks.
Thank you, I didn’t know about the auto park forward/backward
Great tip re: pushing up on the stalk to turn off AP. Until now, I had always lightly put my foot on the brake or torqued the steering wheel which either annoys the guy behind me, or freaks out my passengers. I had no idea, and I do spend a lot of time on the Tesla forums.
I just press end of stalk in to turn ap off.
I learned months after buying (yes I did read the manual, but did not absorb this) that if you tap on the map to zoom in/out or move around to look at something, you can just tap anywhere on the map to recenter it and resume navigation.
1. If you triple click the charging wand it will unlock immediately instead of the 2 second delay with the single click
2. Google maps has a share icon on the top left which will give you the option to send that location to your car when you get in
Small note about the double tap autopark: it only works if you have "REQUIRE CONTINUES PRESS" disabled in "Customize Summon" settings. If continuous press is on "Yes" the double tap won't do anything.
The door mirrors can be set to ‘ Always fold at this location’. A super useful feature here in the UK where a lot of our roads are so narrow. Well, most of our roads were built centuries before cars were invented. Yes I know. Hard to believe, but true. Anyway, you can set the door mirrors to ‘Always fold at this location’ any number of times. Not just the drive thru at Starbucks and McDonalds, but the pointless narrow bridge where no one is prepared to give way, the wooden bridge over the nearby canal, the barriers designed to stop drivers shopping easily at our local supermarket (I’m not joking), the local twin mini roundabouts leading to our local race course and the roundabout system at Swindon so awesomely challenging to negotiate that it is called The Magic Roundabout (google it!). Yes, ‘Always fold at this location’. It’s why my M3 door mirrors are still attached to the car.
I learned this week that my phone will unlock and start my car without Bluetooth! Just put your phone to the pillar and it'll unlock with NFC like the key card.
very good...thanks
I made a video demonstrating this today if anybody wants to watch.
Crazypostman
Thank you for the info and a great video!
Subscribed to your channel, too. You’ve got a lot of great stuff on there!
I've tried this before and it didn't work.
@@theoneatyourdoor87 worked for me bluetooth off NFC on held back off phone against driver door pillar car unlocks ready to go
- Pretty simple one but you can push the turn signal stalk in the same direction to cancel (and only have to push to first detent). So if you put in the left turn signal on, you can push the stalk again left to cancel instead of a traditional mechanical stalk you'd have to push in the opposite direction to cancel.
- Drive-thru Profile: There are some drive-thru's with tight curbs so I have another driver profile with the mirrors tilted down (like auto-tilt in reverse) which helps from curbing the wheels while in drive.
Also, looks like Chris took a road trip to PA for some emergency TP!
Maybe he was smarter and bought a bidet
The drive thru profile is a fantastic idea! Thanks!
I want a profile where only the right mirror goes down. Never need the left, and it means I can't see oncoming traffic.
The stalk cancel annoys me. Having to realize which direction the car wants to go is required each time. Half the time I'm wrong and embarrassingly make the signal go the other direction. Who would ever do that? Any movement should cancel it unless moved again.
Have someone sit in the rear seat and put the car in drive. When it shows the red “no seatbelt” sign on the screen, tap it and it will turn into a car seat. If I remember correctly, it will keep the rear vents on until you change it back into a normal seat
:O
Great information! Thanks...
learned some things! thanks!!
Thanx for the info on the rear fan! I travel with 3 bulldogs all the time and had a burst of fear yesterday because no one had talked about vents/cooling in the back. I'm getting a Y, cos of the dogs, but they are very heat sensitive and need AC from March to November. THANK YOU!!!!
And remember you can keep an eye on the temperature with the app!
Also the low beams lift slightly when the high beams are activated. You can also level/aim the headlights in the service menu.
So help me I had not noticed the “favorites” on the maps before this video and had wanted more “locations” in maps. Your videos are always so great- thanks for the wonderful channel.
I’m now going to play with my car.
Woo :D
You can rename a favourite too, then click the right scroll wheel to use voice commands to navigate somewhere. For example, save your buddy Mike's address as "Mike's house", then when you press and hold the right scroll wheel until the voice command activates you can say "navigate to Mike's house" and it will start navigating there. Very cool.
I don’t have a Tesla but I’m prepared when I get one 😂💀
Thanks for the video bro
I still love how dirty your car always is..
Great video. I was surprised to find you can swipe the little music icon up and down and it expands and contracts the music screen window. Much easier when driving.
You can also do that with the "up arrow" that brings up different options like back up camera or efficiency. If you swipe up on it, it'll bring up the last used item in the menu
@@DirtyTesla Tap the album cover icon to change to another of 3 sizes of the media screen. Easier than swiping.
You along with Andy Syle and Tesla Canuck are my favourite Tesla youtubers. Convinced me to buy a Model 3, and im doing all this research before I take delivery so I know what's what.
Thx DT. Didn’t know about the auto park without hitting the stock. I also didn’t know the park button comes up without parking spot lines or 2 cars around you. I have to give it a try.
I can't believe I missed the nav favorite feature! lol Loved this video!!
I noticed there are sensors for center console cover, when you try to close it but failed 3 times, it will remind you to put cover down gently.
Francis Wang I had to try this; now my car talks to me like it thinks it’s better than me.
Thanks e4tw333, I didn't notice that light on and off when I close cover! But it's amazing that this kinda switch also connects to system.
I played with Auto Park when it first came out. I doubt I would ever use as if I had to park that close to someone, I would find another spot as the cars next to me would probably hit my doors anyways. If there were no cars and just a tight spot - like poles - that would be more ideal for that functionality. Glad you reminded me as I had forgotten about that one.
I recently found out that in the 2nd gen center console, if you have an upper tray forward the cup holder, that tray can slide forward to access the rest of the compartment. I was so shocked because I had spent to much time but prying the top tray out whenever I needed to access items below.
On KeyFob hold roof, and then fronk\trunk, to park it. And yeah that "round button" at seats setting configuration
I’m not (yet) a Tesla owner but have watched a ton of videos. You did an outstanding job on this one because I didn’t know most of those (except for the obvious ones that many cars have like the sun visor and dome lights). Great info!
Thanks dude 👍
I read the manual several times during my 2 year wait, but didn't see the external trunk release button, and didn't realize the wiper/washer button was a three position button. I thought my washer was broken since it made no pump sound when I held the button. I just wasn't pushing hard enough...
I watch a ton of videos. I’m super into Tesla. I own two model 3s. I know more than the Tesla sales people or the “delivery specialist” but I somehow never heard about the double tap to park. Awesome!
Aw man... those grocery hooks are great! My bags go all over the place in the back of my suv and then I have to put it all back together when I get home... Plus, I aspire to always get my groceries into the kitchen in ONE TRIP... no matter how much circulation I lose in my fingers. With these hooks, I could pre-load each hand!
You seem to be one of those rare creatures (like myself) who actually read manuals :o)
rare indeed, I never read them, lol.
Most of this stuff is not in the Model 3 manual. I read it :)
Thanks. Good video. I will be reviewing it many times to see all of your revelations.
I would like the heater to be driver only default ...love the front passenger seat backrest to fold flat for table / load length / sleeping.... double glazed roof for heat in heat out and noise reduction...
Great video!
I didn’t learn any new features. Now many of the features like the clothes hangers in back I knew of, but won’t likely ever use. I find it interesting that the new M3 and MY don’t have the hangers in the frunk.
I recently bought FSD and did not know that I could use auto park forward or reverse after leaving the car. Thank you for this video! Can't wait to use this feature! I'm good at getting out of cars in tight spaces but this will just be fun until the times I really need to use it if I can find a stall with better clearance (mainly because I don't want another car passenger or driver hitting my Model 3).
The front boot hooks are indeed shopping bag hooks, they’ve been standard in lots of European cars for years particularly for supporting plastic shopping bags 🛍
Dirty Tesla, thanks for the vid! I learned some new stuff. That auto closing frunk blew my mind. How did you get that?
th-cam.com/video/j7vzG_MS7cs/w-d-xo.html
I have a Model 3 with release 2020.12.11.1 and FSD and cannot figure out how to do the vertical park in the garage as shown on the video.
Q about the mirror auto-tilt feature. I've been told that, while in reverse, you can adjust and set the amount of tilt and it will save that as part of your profile. Is this true, or is the amount of auto-tilt fixed?
If you shift into reverse and then do the mirror adjustment for your profile you can adjust the tilted mirrors.
I thought the auto tilt was dumb until I adjusted them for me and now they are super helpful.
@@Skiman601 I can't wait to try this, Chris! I never used the tilt down feature because both mirrors tilted down and they went down too much. I also was unable to see traffic coming at me when trying to park.
Doesn't work for me. Is there some setting/feature you should have to enable this?
I think it is buggy? Mine have tilted down when in reverse since I have had the car (super annoying for me) I tried going into reverse and adjusting them up, but it never seems to save it to my profile?
Great video!! Tesla are awesome!!! I’m saving up for my Tesla right now
I have had my Model 3 since Nov. 2018 and I did not know about the lumbar support control. I also did not know about the real seat AV control. One control I learned about recently was that the fan can be turned off by just holding your finger on the fan icon! Thanks for you video.
Hey glad you learned man! I figured if some people didn't know, others could learn too!
I didn't know you could poke your fingers through the grille to reach the charge release cord! The one time I've needed to release a rapid charger that had finished charging but my Model 3 wouldn't unlock, I pulled the material away from the seal to reach it! I will try your method next time! 😄
😂 😂 Yeah there's a little hole there just for that!
Great video for the non Tesla nerds like us lol. That lumbar button was one I didn't know. I'll have to give that one a try if I ever get back into my car with all this social distancing lol.
It adjusts head rests in x and y I think
I noticed that our car seat base is wide enough that it spans the bottom of the seat and doesn't trip the sensor, you can try putting a book or something under the car seat to push on the sensor. Just be careful it's not too thick and that the seat is still well attached and stable.
The interesting feature I recently discovered was the headlight adjustment in the settings. I've been driving with the lights pointing too low and thought I had to manually adjust them until I found this, that was kinda cool.
I knew it was an option, but adjusting them without proper measuring equipment sounds like a bad idea to me.
Ruffman, they're called eyes. Great tool!
@@TwoTimesTwentyOne I'm not sure how this works where you're from, but if I'd adjust my headlight by eye, I'm pretty sure the car wouldn't pass inspection.
Dude there are literally hundreds of cars that does that, nothing special required to adjust bloody headlights lol. They do up or they go down... Just adjust high enough so visibility is useful. My 2019 Outlander PHEV also has that feature... By your comments you must be an ignorant apple user who absolutely needs a Mac genius tech for everything LOL.
God I love idiots like you, keeps me in business.
G'day!
@@TwoTimesTwentyOne yeah, you're a great judge of character, I can tell. lol /s
The way you 'talk' to people, I really pitty your customers. If there even are any.
Also: You can voice command just about every feature in your Model 3 or Y. I use it for everything like "Play Music" "Open Glovebox" winshield wiper, turn on radio, open trunk, awesome!
We didn't have voice commands back when this video was made ;)
May I suggest or would you consider making a complete guide for the phone "app"? For me, I always see I have several notices but I have no idea where these message "alerts" are located in the app. Also, if found,m how to clear them. I am sure there is other items I don't know about, as well.
Sure :)
I ended up buying the dust mask. Liked and subscribed. Thank you!
Plus one on the rear vents always being engaged, for dogs.
That lumbar support is awesome, I have a long commute and the support lets me move it in and out as well as up and down, perfectly setting the support to wherever I want it. Before this car I had trouble from sitting in the seat for over an hour each way. Honorable mention goes to the Pontiac Solstice! Unbelievable, but the Solstice was perfect for my back despite not being adjustable.
These seats are soooo comfortable. I had to use a back support in my Focus for longer drives
Hitting any door release button while driving will unlock the doors as well. It will only open the doors while it’s parked.
This is useful when you’re picking up passengers without actually parking.
What I learned after 3 years with the Model X: In a very thin black envelope in the bottom of the black Frunk (under all the Charging and other stuff and flat) is a Upper Windshield sun shield which cuts the heat on a very sunny day. We had been wanting such an item and I had looked for where to buy one.
Yea I found out the circular button for the lower back lumbar support sometime last year from a youtubers channel. It's great.
The lumbar button also raises and lowers the headrest on the X
Hi anyone know what the two mini holes are next to the dome lights. They look like sockets for electrical devices but I dont recognize the type
The ability to turn up or down climate control through voice control. “ turn temperature to 73°”. Also voice control for volume or most things you use the touch screen for, like backup camera, call someone or text, play netflix, all through voice commands.
Knew all of them. Good job
With the map favourites you can also say “Navigate to Mom’s House”. As long as the actual name for the location is “Mom’s House”
Hey I learned! Thanks!
Dirty Tesla yeah no problem. Keep up the great content!
I had issues with X's Home, though-- "Home" seems to override everything else and I get navigated to my own home.
Platinum Azure yeah I’m not sure. I don’t use home, I use house.
fehrbr9 I tried that but my car navigated to YOUR mom’s house. How do I fix this?
When you talk about a cupholder you are fiddling with some mirror/screen type thing, what is that if I may ask? Great video btw!
It's a mirror to see your baby when they're in a rear facing seat. But I was picking up the middle seat head rest. Although I didn't mention it, it's another piece ppl don't know is there
I’m obsessed too. I did not know about double tapping the Park Button to unlock nor about the rear seat vents control. Thanks for those!
Thanks for another fun video!
Stay safe!
There's a setting for Unlock on Park. The double-tap is only needed when those setting is off.
Could you plug in a seatbelt blank in the back to trick car into thinking there is a passenger?
At 3:09 into the video, you reach down and push the lighted hood release button in the frunk, and the frunk automatically closed and latched itself. Is this an aftermarket option? My lighted frunk button only works to unlatch the frunk hood.
Yeah, it's an aftermarket auto frunk install I did th-cam.com/video/j7vzG_MS7cs/w-d-xo.html
Great video! I discovered that I did not know all the features. Unlock doors with park button make sense. There are times I want rapid wiper action in emerg situation. I tried double tap the wiper button but no luck. Do you know if there is a trick?
Nope. Just gotta tap the button and use the on screen control that pops up
Yes, buy Rain-X, you won’t even need your wipers.
Cool things in there, thanks for that. I have two questions on those: 1) The Favorites: Are those global or are they stored in the driver profile? And 2) Do you know if it is possible to use FSDs Autopark while not in the car? (I have a parking spot right next to a wall on the drivers side. And that wall extends forward, so the "just go backwards" thing isn't helping all too much.) Thanks again.
I think the favorites are global.
Also, to get into the spot you'd double tap the park button and get out. To get in the car, you'd use the app to back out
Autopark without the need to be sitting in the car would be a great feature.
I heard something like that is coming soon, kind of like a reverse Summon. We’ll be able to exit our cars and they’ll park themselves.
For now, I wish they’d allow the car to Autopark once the driver finds a suitable spot and exits.
I would like to be able to enlarge the font on my screen. Can we all ask elon to add this setting which all other computers have. Very basic.
Its actually not that basic. Things on the screen won’t fit anymore when enlarged, thus things need to move over ect. Its a nightmare in software design and I understand companies dont do it when not absolutely needed
As and aside of the cabin lights. You can also push the voice command button on the steering wheel and say "cabin lights on" and the cabin lights will turn on. You can also say "cabin lights off" to turn the cabin lights off.
The front hooks were there by design for groceries not aesthetic. It was a simple but nice feature promoted in 2018 for using your front trunk
the model s also has retractable visers.
hello, is your display in an angle toward the driver?
Yep th-cam.com/video/LS8t8FzxPOQ/w-d-xo.html
You forgot to mention the 12v plug adapter in center console.
Great video!
Ray Nash where is it? Need one for my bike tyres!
@@Ifyoudonttakeitucantfakeit If you have the car he just told you where to look...
My model 3 in Australia has usb c plugs in the rear, had this been updated in America?
Yeah, this is an older video
I have a 2018 hw2.5 originally had EAP but ordered FSD. I can't get double tap to park to work.
I thought it was a hw3 thing?
It seems pretty finicky but I've heard hw2.5 should work. Here's a full video about it th-cam.com/video/46kjg23Mzeg/w-d-xo.html
Cruise control can be slowed down to 1mph and even 0mph (I use it for certain towing situations)
How did you close the hood like that?
th-cam.com/video/j7vzG_MS7cs/w-d-xo.html
So, I saw You using a smartwatch (Galaxy Watch?)
Do You know there is any way to control the car? Maybe summon? Would love to have a button to be able to be able to summon my car back out with my watch. MAybe you can try something with IFTTT Hoocks (i think it supports Tesla app) and Tasker?
(Dont have a Tesla so I cant test)
WOULD LOVE TO SE IT!
8:01 would be better to have it in the settings as well, so for those who dont have people in the back seats they can keep it off as default
The frunk hooks help to not allow groceries to go forward in a brake situation and hit the emergency button. If anything hit the emergency button, the frunk will pop up no matter if you're currently driving or not.
Can’t turn on tow mode of pin to drive is on.
How fast is the changing compared to a supercharger?
Charging at home? For the LR 3 it takes about 10 hours from 0 to 100% whereas a supercharger will go 0 to 100% in about an hour, maybe a bit more. But you never have 0 and you almost never charge to 100.
That auto-close feature for the Frunk doesn’t work. How did you do that?
th-cam.com/video/j7vzG_MS7cs/w-d-xo.html
I knew about the manual charge port unlock. Stuck port door happened to me for the first time in 18 months of ownership yesterday at a SC - nothing would unlock my port. It was raining and only about 45º (no freezing/ice). BUT, the cable release also did not work! The door was truly stuck - I finally put a fingernail under the port door and pulled a little and it popped open.
The cable releases the port lock (little tab the sticks up from the bottom into the recess on the charge wand). It has nothing to do with the door.
ROLEabilitY Oh so it’s only for a stuck wand - thanks. I guess the port was just stuck a bit.
@@rich1383yt yeah, the nomenclature here and in the manual even is not the clearest.
the ONLY feature from this entire list that i did not know about was the manual release for the charge wand. all the other ones seemed silly that people didn’t already know.
How did you close the frunk automatically @ 3:10 ?!?
th-cam.com/video/j7vzG_MS7cs/w-d-xo.html
Honestly, part of the fun is discovering new quirks and features (sorry Doug DeMuro).
Any way to turn off auto steer but not cruise control on Model S without turning the steering wheel?
Not that I know of...
DT - Have you use the "Off-Road Mode" in the snow and has it helped?
The 3 doesn't have it, but I've used it in the Y and could tell a slight difference, but I have never needed it
People don't read manuals nowadays... They should.

Exactly! I read the online PDF Model 3 manual from cover to cover during the months between configuring my car and the day it was delivered!
Once I got the car, I reread a lot of it for extra clarification!
Alexandre Steinmetz I read manual but there’s plenty of stuff on TH-cam that wasn’t in the manual. Tesla loves their hidden features and Easter eggs
@@drdrew3 Tesla is constantly upgrading features and luckily the owner's manually changes constantly to keep up!
What is that you are installing at 6:44?
It's the rear head rest
Hey man, just because I feel like you’d give the best insight. We were on early access for awhile, got summon early. But then, recently, we have just been getting updates at the regular speed. Did we get kicked off ea? Is that a thing?
Yep you can get removed.
Dirty Tesla how exactly? We never shared anything
@@donovanmorgan7944 I suspect maybe we don't drive enough. Car sat in garage for about a week. Others got 8.2 or higher. I drove the car Sunday and got the update as soon as got home and back on Wi-Fi. Can't get useful data if we don't drive much.
Disable Autopilot by activating the turn signal and moving slightly the steering wheel. The resistance of the wheel is minimal then.
I wish they would add a feature to only angle the passenger side mirror down when in reverse. I only need to see the curb on the passenger side while parking (Mercedes has this option).
Well, it will actually just remember the mirror settings for both P/N/D and R separately. Just switch to reverse, adjust your driver side mirror to match its regular state and you have what you're looking for.
I'm getting a Model 3 in a couple of weeks and I've watched almost every Model 3 video on TH-cam, and I didn't know the dome lights could be individually turned on/off.
