This part was clear. Everything else was on point. The only problem is you mentioned to use percent because a lot of people don't know how to understand Wh/km or Wh/mi. The units name doesn't matter. They're all just a number of increments. Km shows the most, and percent the least. Personally the grey battery icon is perfectly fine and works just like the classic gas gauge anyways.
The five quick controls does not seem to work for me. No matter how far over the icon is dragged, the last quick is still highlighted. Possibly only works on iPhone?
I specifically have been watching a couple videos this morning before I get this rental about all the emergency take features like trying to exit the vehicle with no power etc. especially since I’m gonna be hauling clueless passengers. So I either need to get a glass shattering hammer or just leave the car and suffer the consequences cause I can get out first ha ha ha ha ha 😝
Btw, you are slightly mistaken on the brake thing as far as normal driving goes. When you put your foot down on the brake pedal, all 4 brakes are engaged hydraulically. There is no “front when forward” “rear when backward” type manifold trickery going on. The brake pedal in the car actuates the brakes via fluid pressure, but the parking brake indeed is a mechanical servo manually engaging the rear brakes. That’s why it makes that electronic sound when parking and not every time you hit the brake pedal.
I’m used to these videos being terrible and not showing me anything new but WOW you blew me away by showing me quite a few things i didnt already know. SO thank you!!
Just got a Model Y and stumbled on your channel. Great content and no bs click bait and no time wasting fluff. Love the RTFM comment! When I tell someone I read it in the manual, no matter the product, and that they should read it too, most give me this dumbfounded look like I’m a crazy person. Or they’re pissed off that I suggested such a waste of their time.
Appreciated the tip on lowering the height of the trunk opening! My garage door rolls up and into the garage. The first time I opened the trunk to remove groceries, the trunk door went up, hit a metal piece on the rolled up garage door and chipped the paint! I can now access stuff ftom the trunk while the car is in the garage. Thabks!
MY 2020 m3 does not have an auto opening boot (trunk to you in the US) lid - I have to lift or lower it manually - which is fine by me as I am always hitting my head 🤮with the self closing lid on my nephew's Beamer
absolutely the best tip video I have seen! Thank you so much for the lane change information that was sooooo helpful!!! The only other tip I saw that was that big was using the scroll wheel to disengage the move your steering wheel warning. These are great in so many ways.
Hello, Tesla service tech here. Although it’s possible to switch gears going under 5 MPH as said in the manual, we do NOT recommend anyone to ever do this. Unless you want your gears to get melded together. Don’t believe me? Continue to do what you are doing.
You can on the phone app - it's under 'service' - ask Tesla not me why they hide it there. (I am an obsessive menu explorer and it took me some time to find it!)
Dude! This video was so helpful, thanks! I've had my Model Y since June and watched/researched every video plus read the maual even before taking delivery, and some of this stuff is not intuitive in the manual (IMO) like the parking brake. I learned at least 3-4 more things from this video. The fact that the car doesnt have a traditional parking brake was scary for me at first, we have a place in the mountains w a steep driveway we have to stop on, great to know I can just put it in P.
That printed booklet in the glove box is *NOT* the full manual, it's the "Safety Information" book for tire care, child seats, etc. The full manual is on the touchscreen or online (either interactive or a PDF download). The actual manual also gets updated to keep in sync with software updates.
This is correct. In fact, everything within the safety booklet can also be found in the full manual. When I said "in the car" I should've clarified what I meant (in the car, under the service menu) instead of just showing the safety booklet for b-roll. Though I still would rather someone read the safety booklet compared to nothing at all.
@@JremiahJones You can also read it on the Tesla app when not in the car - under the 'service' tab for reasons not obvious to me - but then little of the T app is intuitive!
Honestly, I clicked this because I thought for sure it was going to be crap and then I was going to scoff and move along.....I was wrong lol. These are actually all useful and not commonly talked about (for the most part).
1. The pedal brake activates both hydraulic lines (front and rear). The car is stopped by all four disc brakes (one on each wheel). 2. The manual brake (holding the parking button for 3 sec) will engage the mechanical drum brakes on the rear axle! Yes, to your surprise, the rear wheels also have mechanical drum brakes that are actuated by a cable. The cable is tensioned by an electric drive. 3. When you put the tesla in park, it does not activate the mechanical drum brakes on the rear axle and it does not activate any of the hydraulic lines. Instead, the rear axle is locked by the rear wheel drive unit. To be even more precise, this axle locking occurs in 1-speed automatic transmission and not in the hydraulic lines! You're welcome!
Great video for new and future owners; especially with Tesla's updated features. I knew about the emergency parking button, but I didn't know that you can press it multiple times to re-enact an ICE emergency brake lever...good to know. Nice work!
Jose, glad you enjoyed the video! If the car is in motion the act of hold the parking button is what engages the brake, releasing it will release brakes.
Question regarding 12 - while it's possible to sift gears at 5 mph or less, I don't imagine it's very good for the drivetrain, no? Even if it's electrical? It's so useful and if a more knowledgable person on the subject can chime in on, idk if id risk it.
Excellent video, even after six months of MYLR ownnership I'm still learning. Although I've got the expensive fsd option I've never fully understood the lane change function when NOT using navigate on ap. Now I'll go and try if your method works on UK RHD cars!
Just an FYI: The learning will never stop!!!! Tesla updates the manual regularly to reflect all the latest changes. After almost 4 years of of having my Model 3...I'm still learning and discovering new features all the time! I just learned about the subwoofer Easter Egg, as well as how to adjust the sound system for optimum sound...It sounded GOOD before, now it's REALLY GOOD!! With all the *amazing* software updates, your car will always feel like new...Actually, way better than the day you took delivery of it! Enjoy your Model Y and FSD...Keep learning!!!👍
So if you’re trying to keep your trunk from opening all the way because it might hit something then how do you open it all the way first and then adjust it to where you want because you’re gonna be hitting the thing you’re trying to avoid
i am trying to reconfigure the screen in my Tesla 3. I want the split screen to swap sides so that the navigation ect is on the left. I find I have to lean forward and right a bit to use the screen making it a driving distraction vs interaction. How can the split screens be swapped, left for right side?
Good video. The park button info and some of the autopilot info were new to me, and I had forgotten about the manual release for the charger. I did not receive a safety booklet with my 2022 model Y. ???.
welll... admittedly, I knew all of these "tips" or "tricks", except for the trunk lid height as I still got the manual one. You missed one really practical feature on the AP speed setting part, though! your way works, of course. but WAY MORE PRACTICAL: standard activation of cruise control/AP: sets your current speed. holding the stick HALF A SECOND LONGER on one of the two taps: sets speed limit. that works for cruise control (one long tap) as for AP (one long and one short tap, whichever order)
Question about the emergency brakes. What if I’m parked on a steep incline like a driveway. Is there a way to engage a parking emergency brake for situations like that?
Just subscribed ..because this guy has more knowledge than the 55 million videos I watched.. yes 55 million seems like a lot.. I know I don't have a life...
I knew most of these, except for the one where when switching lanes on autopilot, you don’t have to turn off the turn the turn signal, and instead reengage it to turn it off. I also did not know about that emergency brake one, I’d sometimes use it when my car was at a steep angle thinking it worked like ICE car emergency brakes, thanks for those two tips!
10:30 : you are wrong here When you press the foot peddle, all 4 brakes are applied with a the rear brakes controlled through a compensator valve so they work less hard than the front. (ie under hard braking there is less traction at the rear so all cars are fitted with a compensator valve to prevent rear loss of traction too soon. Yes yes - Anti-lock brakes will do this, but the compensator valve is there to try and get all wheels to their limit of traction at the same time).
Tom, yes you are correct and I have already cleared this up in another comment. My wording was bad. When I said “brake pedal = front brakes are applied” I meant “most of the braking power is coming from the front brakes”. I was trying to differentiate the normal braking system (via the brake pedal) from the “holding the park button” brake because the two are different. Tesla used to have two calipers on the rear wheel (normal brake vs parking brake) but now that they’ve been combined, it can be confusing.
@@JremiahJones One caliper, single piston, but two separate systems. Hydraulic piston for normal brakes and an electric motor/screw inside that piston for park and emergency.
The tesla app widget in iOS always shows the range instead of battery percentage, is there a way to change that without going into the app itself and reading the percentage off of there?
If the parking mode only locks the rear wheels when doing a tire rotation on a performance model with staggered tire size, like my MYP, the car could roll? Is there a mode that locks all four wheels?
Yes, recite the number one mantra to anyone who claims to know better than everyone else: RTFM! As for me I didn't know the details on holding the P stalk button down but I didn't RTFM in that section - bad robot. I knew about the 5th icon but not AutoLaneChange keeping TACC. Also I've always set the trunk stop position wrong - I grabbed the lid at about the point I wanted it to stop on it's way up then held the button down until it beeped - bad robot. The Navigate swipe right to go Home or Work is news to me but I know how to get home, I'm retired and I don't drive freeways and don't have FSD so ... meh. When I do drive freeways, I use EAP (subscribed). And BTW, when using Nav, if you're going to a supercharger, make sure to Navigate to it, not just the town where it's located so that the car will pre-condition the battery. Oh also, great tip on charge max and min, if it says you can leave then go ahead and leave even if less than your default max charge level because the next charge will take less time. And don't forget to unplug and get out of the stall when done instead of just sitting there finishing your lunch or whatever. It will cost you in "idle fees" and you'll tick off the folks in line that need to charge. Cheers and drive safely.
Did not know the quick scroll for 5mph speed change. Did not know the parking brake stuff. Did not know the 5 quick controls on phone app. However, I’m unable to put 5 in there on iPhone. Is this only for Android? Or only for the larger iPhones (I have the mini).
OK I’m gonna be leasing a Tesla model three from hertz for Uber, I’m not a newbie type driver, I have driven a couple EVs but not a Tesla which is well different. So I’ve been watching lots of videos about basics of driving a Tesla especially the first time yada yada, your channel is the best I’ve seen yet on explaining a lot of these things. I’m a pretty advanced driver I would say, I drive 50 to 100,000 miles a year, I’ve done racing I’ve done well I’ve been in car chases ha ha and you have to buy me a beer to get the story, I’ve done things with cars most people have never even imagined so I think I’ll be pretty comfortable adapting to this type of vehicle, so we’ll find out hopefully this afternoon when I get it, great videos

Facts. And doesn't have to cheesy approach...or corny "oooo Tesla" demeanor lol
I definitely subbed

Yeah .. don't charge to 100%. Nobody has ever made a video about that, like, ever!
Four years of Tesla ownership, daily Tesla news consumption, and I still learned seven new facts. Nice work man, thank you!

Thanks for helping Tesla owners globally❤
Got the first tesla TODAY and appreciate I found this video!!!!
Excellent, very fast paced, no wasted time.
Danke!
Thank you and thanks for the tip, much appreciated!
Great video! Thanks for the hot tips. Btw, great hair 😆
Great video! Is there a way to go to in the AC settings without turning it on when it's off?
Appreciated the tip on lowering the height of the trunk opening! My garage door rolls up and into the garage.

As for me I didn't know the details on holding the P stalk button down but I didn't RTFM in that section - bad robot. I knew about the 5th icon but not AutoLaneChange keeping TACC. Also I've always set the trunk stop position wrong - I grabbed the lid at about the point I wanted it to stop on it's way up then held the button down until it beeped - bad robot. The Navigate swipe right to go Home or Work is news to me but I know how to get home, I'm retired and I don't drive freeways and don't have FSD so ... meh. When I do drive freeways, I use EAP (subscribed). And BTW, when using Nav, if you're going to a supercharger, make sure to Navigate to it, not just the town where it's located so that the car will pre-condition the battery. Oh also, great tip on charge max and min, if it says you can leave then go ahead and leave even if less than your default max charge level because the next charge will take less time. And don't forget to unplug and get out of the stall when done instead of just sitting there finishing your lunch or whatever. It will cost you in "idle fees" and you'll tick off the folks in line that need to charge. Cheers and drive safely.
I was expecting this to suck cause I’ve owed a Tesla for two years, but it was excellent. I Did learn a couple things
Just subscribed...Good luck with your channel!
very helpful Video 👍👍👍
Great Videos man
Great vid. But still can’t get 5 options on the app. I just drag and it replaces one. 😊
Great vid. I DID learn a few things, just as you promised. Subscribed!
Excellent video
Did not know the quick scroll for 5mph speed change. Did not know the parking brake stuff. Did not know the 5 quick controls on phone app. However, I’m unable to put 5 in there on iPhone. Is this only for Android? Or only for the larger iPhones (I have the mini).
OK I’m gonna be leasing a Tesla model three from hertz for Uber, I’m not a newbie type driver, I have driven a couple EVs but not a Tesla which is well different. So I’ve been watching lots of videos about basics of driving a Tesla especially the first time yada yada, your channel is the best I’ve seen yet on explaining a lot of these things. I’m a pretty advanced driver I would say, I drive 50 to 100,000 miles a year, I’ve done racing I’ve done well I’ve been in car chases ha ha and you have to buy me a beer to get the story, I’ve done things with cars most people have never even imagined so I think I’ll be pretty comfortable adapting to this type of vehicle, so we’ll find out hopefully this afternoon when I get it, great videos
thanks for the tips
