You can actually add a 5th icon in the quick actions of the iOS app. You have to tap and hold on the far left side of the icon, then slide it to the far right of the QA menu.

  Ha nice! This works for the Android app as well. Thanks!

Joe MesaPřed 2 měsíci

Thanks Ryan, learned some things. I know you can move the automatic side cameras image on model 3/Y screens. I’ve been waiting for this feature for my model S. Don’t like the location right now, I think it would be much safer visually on the top center of the screen. Again, thanks for all the informative videos.

Gino RadzikPřed 2 měsíci

Happy New Year Ryan! Thanks for all the great content. Still wondering how to control climate options without having to swipe up all the time to turn on key options without turning on everything. (Defogger but not A/C). Love my model y - we have similar produced vehicles (we have the 7-seat white/white). MyQ linkage and functions works great.

Mark MacraePřed 2 měsíci

Thanks for the great video. I’ve been really happy with the latest update, but there’s always a few things I miss so I’m grateful for this detailed breakdown

Danny WelchPřed 2 měsíci

Wife and I just ordered our first Model Y and this video will be an amazing resource for getting up-to-speed quickly. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

Pétur HlöðverssonPřed 2 měsíci

I don't know if this is new but the Off road setting under Pedals and Steering is very useful when driving in snow, the car is much more stable and the rear end doesn't move sideways when you speed up.

  Ernesto SolteroPřed 2 měsíci

  This got me through a snowstorm in Lake Tahoe without having to put on chains. I was very impressed with its performance in light snow although I wonder how much of it also depends on the tires you have.

• 

  Steve DowlerPřed 2 měsíci

  Didn't know that! I've used SlipStart but didn't think to try OffRoad. Thanks.

Kaian AlmeidaPřed 2 měsíci

I lean a lot from your videos! I recently got my model y and was very disappointed to see that park assist, summon and other parking related features were not available. Apperantly (and hopefully) the will be added to the car through and update. Any guesses on when? Next update maybe?

Jax LeonardPřed 2 měsíci

The tire pressure came in handy when I got a slow leak but still had a full driving to do. I was able to watch it in real time very handy

Kyzyl TuvaPřed 2 měsíci

Great video Ryan. Very helpful. Appreciate the work you do.

WelfiPřed 2 měsíci

Love the low-med-high for auto a/c. Now give us the same options for windshield wipers 🙈

Teufel HundPřed 2 měsíci

I can confirm, the media controls for Tidal ARE there in the "card" area. Has been there since the Christmas update for both my and my father's 2022 Model Y Performances. Ryan, I was wondering seeing that you are a musician, can you please in detail go over how we should use the Equalizer to achieve the best audio quality from Tidal? You briefly showed it when showing the volume, but can you possibly create a video for us who are NOT audiophiles and don't really know the best configurations for the equalizer?

Jonathan DeLaughterPřed 2 měsíci

I recently rented a Model 3 through Uber's partner program. An issue that I ran into was trying to unlock the doors easily without putting the car in park. I searched for a while on the internet but did not find anything promising. This is a pretty big issue for me since when I pull up people usually try to get in right away and are frustrated when they can't (especially since the door handles aren't the most intuitive.) I actually found out kind of on accident that for the Model 3 (and I'm guessing at least the Model Y as well) that there is a little lock icon, that matches the one in the park menu, between the battery symbol and clock. This can be pressed at any time to unlock all the doors even while in drive.

꧁༒Andy Harris༒꧂Před 2 měsíci

Worth mentioning that not all the features you mentioned are available everywhere. Oddly in the UK, for example, you can’t change the cabin overheat protection temperature, you don’t have auto brake pedal when regen is limited, to name but a few.

SpearwithXPřed 2 měsíci

Thank Ryan! I never knew about the set rear hatch open height limit! I always thought there should be a way to limit it. I’ve always just quickly released the open/close button before my spoiler would hit the garage door. Now, I am going to set it and forget it! 🙏🏼🤙🏼

• 

  munkymindPřed měsícem

  But watch out for your head, lol. I have mine set lower so it won't hit the garage door but everyone bumps their head when they go to retrieve stuff from the trunk area.

Daniel WaylonisPřed 2 měsíci

Thanks Ryan! I’ve had mine for two years and I learned several things from your video.

• 

  SANTIAGO SANCHEZPřed 2 měsíci

  Daniel, which model do you have and has the original epa dropped down? In 15 months my M3 LR has gone from 354 to 309 at 100% charge.

David JerniganPřed 2 měsíci

Hi Ryan. To use the MyQ option in my model Y don't you need the Homelink option installed first? My wife watched this video and she thinks she heard you don't need Homelink installed to use MyQ. Thanks for the great, concise videos.

Yi LuPřed 2 měsíci

Great video as always. About that secondary brake, I have heard that it is automatically applied when you shift to P, so you don’t have to long press it to engage it. Do you think it’s true? In what circumstances do you long press the P for parking?

• 

  Mike KobbPřed 2 měsíci

  The long-press is the emergency parking brake. You would apply that if you for some reason lost the ability to use the regular brake pedal. It does exactly the same thing as putting the car into park. The long press is to avoid applying it by accident while above the regular parking brake threshold. This is in the manual.

• 

  ReminiscePřed 2 měsíci

  I thought the same but i’m pretty sure you want to use your parking break on an incline

Sam ClarkPřed 2 měsíci

Good job, Ryan! I didn't think I would learn anything new. But I certainly did!

Yash PorePřed 2 měsíci

Great video! One more thing I like is the text message reading and also you can reply back with voice command, pretty neat and very useful while driving! Also do you know how to turn on the front view on the camera? I wanted to use the front view camera when I am parking in my garage to see how close I am to the wall in front. I have 2023 model Y

Mickey Ben-PoratPřed 2 měsíci

Great video! Just hope Tesla will find a solution for those missing parking sensors! My car feels so dangerous and outdated without those parking warning chimes..

• 

  Huy NguyenPřed 2 dny

  Just updated👍🏻

  zamardii12Před měsícem

  Weird they didn't find a replacement for that functionality before removing the previous method.

  Mickey Ben-PoratPřed 2 měsíci

  @JGLCO I guess making fart sounds from far away are more important for them..

  JGLCOPřed 2 měsíci

  Completely agree. It's insane they haven't prioritized this.

Joel MadsenPřed 2 měsíci

Nicely done Ryan. Very helpful as always. THANKS!

wroniecPřed 2 měsíci

Please hear me out, the "secondary parking brake" does nothing, parking brakes apply upon putting the car in park. Holding the park button or pressing the button on the touchscreen reapplies/relocks the parking brakes, the red P appears if the parking brake is activated MANUALLY as said in the manual. (touchscreen/gear stalk)

• 

  Will ZanderPřed 2 měsíci

  Not sure why Tesla even labels it as a parking brake since it is an emergency brake to be used if the main (front) brakes don't work.

Dave DyerPřed 2 měsíci

Very helpful, we don’t have the mimic Regen braking in the UK though. Live sentry mode viewing is limited to 15 mins per day and requires premium connectivity to. Many people don’t know about voice commands IME or they say it doesn’t recognise their voice, what I have found is that speaking too fast is the problem.

Steve DowlerPřed 2 měsíci

One thing I do often is to turn on the headlights during the day. Auto Headlights is working much better than in the past but you still have to manually set the lights on in daytime driving. I'll try the voice command for that next time. Thanks.

thinkingaboutartPřed 23 dny

Answered my question about the regenerative braking option. Also how to get a shortcut for windshield wipers. The best software explanation I've seen so for. Thanks!

Phil NguyenPřed 2 měsíci

Tesla keep getting better over time. What's not to love about Tesla

Michael ScottPřed 2 měsíci

Good information. Especially the auto high beams. I did find what I think is a bug in this (have to figure out how to communicate this to Tesla). I don't think the high beams should activate when the front fog lights are on. A few days ago I had to drive home in heavy fog and so turned on the fog lights. Every time the high beams activated, it was a complete white-out. That could be dangerous.

Rob MedinaPřed 2 měsíci

Great video for new owners! I will be forwarding this to all my friends 😎 THANK YOU

Suzie PhillipsPřed 2 měsíci

Thank you for your videos! Is there a way to have the audio volume adjust automatically based on road noise? I’m constantly turning the volume up and down when I’m getting on and off of the freeway. Thanks!

O.J. McLauchlinPřed 2 měsíci

Did you know that on the Tesla app you can add a 5th quick control to the dock? It’s tough to do on the first few tries. But once it is there, it’s quite nice.

  Saul NaftaliPřed 12 dny

  how you do it?

JD_Chavos 2.0Před 2 měsíci

Extremely helpful. I have had my Y for 3 weeks and still feel clueless

Shanna KangPřed 2 měsíci

Happy New Year! Question on the map settings. Do you know if there is an option to 'avoid freeway/highway'? Sometimes I want to navigate locally and not get on the freeway but can't seem to find if this is possible.

Roar HendenPřed 2 měsíci

Great and fast/effective video as always, Ryan. As a new model Y owner I really appreciate your information. There are lots of other voice commands which are not "official". I wonder what the people at Tesla have been smoking :-). Have you tried "open butthole"?

Francis PearmanPřed 2 měsíci

Wish I had watched this informative video before recently returning the model Y LR I rented from Hertz for a month and drove over 3,500 miles from Chicago to Key West and back. Overall a great experience, slightly annoying no phone app only the key card. Sometime between Christmas an New Year a message appeared stating an update was available and to connect to Wi-Fi, no secure Wi-Fi so deferred update. Then on last day of return trip Louisville to Chicago Message that update would happen over connect, but warning car would not be available for up to 2 hours, deferred until reached home. Update appeared to go okay, but next day traffic aware visualization only worked very intermittently; so no autopilot for anything but a short period. Tried power off for more than 10 minutes, thumb wheel re-boot, leaving off overnight all to no avail. Not able to remove flash drive as Hertz locks the glove box. I did at one point turn off all autopilot options in the menu, power off and wait 10 minute before powering-up this worked but only for one short trip. The next day same problem. Note I did call Hertz and did talk to their representative on return to ensure the car was not turned around and given to another customer without some investigation. Unfortunately it has left my wife and I not a 100 certain to go ahead and order a model Y, but did prove that a novice can take a Tesla on a long road trip.

Michael GillPřed 2 měsíci

The first week with my Y I just used voice commands to use everything. Then after the second week I pretty much just knew where things were. Voice commands are underrated.

Adam GelbardPřed 2 měsíci

I just ordered the base model 3 i was wondering a couple of qs 1- is there a speed limiter i have it on my present vehicle where its set to 60mph 2- are there different amounts of regen modes i want the most regen if possible always. 3- is there a great all in one video for each setting one by one to watch while in the car to turn on or off

John FontenotPřed 2 měsíci

Always great information. Thanks Ryan!

Vancity23Před 2 měsíci

Voice commands are great. I do like the nav system, but miss Waze for radar traps etc. Tesla will probably not allow Apple Carplay, but if they could Waze, which ai think is owned by Google that would be awesome...

Bjarne BorresenPřed 2 měsíci

Thanks for the informative video!! Love all the things I can do with this car

(KILLAZ)Před 2 měsíci

By the way Ryan Shaw When you're in park the parking brake is already engaged. You'll only need to press and hold the park button when your front brakes fail

Steve LawrencePřed 2 měsíci

Hi Ryan great info video thanks Question You can turn off the fan ( heat or cooling ) for the passenger side and have the fan on for the driver, is there a way you can turn on the passenger fan on but have the drivers fan turned off. I know there’s only one fan motor but I guess I’m asking is it possible to close the drivers side vent and leave the passengers one open.

Zaid PatelPřed hodinou

Mastering voice commands on your tesla is a MUST. Nice video, thank you.

Tom OOOPřed 2 měsíci

A minor, but useful is that they have increased the font size and emphasis for the information at the top of the screen. For old people like me it makes a big difference.

• 

  Tom OOOPřed měsícem

  @James Allen Car display, there was a very small increase in the top fonts, like time, charge status. I wish it was a bit bigger but that small change made it enough for me. It really needs an "old man" option.

  James AllenPřed měsícem

Unfortunately the Zoom meeting option is only available to those that have the new Ryzen chip in their center console. I have a 2021 Model Y and a 2018 Model 3, both of which have the Intel Atom chip, so Zoom is not even offered to us.

ma5jklPřed 2 měsíci

just a small correction or let's say more details. 5:24 - not all cars have this options in the menu (my 2019 model3 LR does not have it either), I am not sure if only facelifted (after 2021) have it or some other configuration 🤷‍♂, 9:04 - sharing destination from Google maps works only if your phone and car are set in same language (this is something what english speaking people do not experience, but little hint for the others), 11:13 - you can add also the 5th icon in quick controls although it is a bit tricky and differently to achieve on iphone and android (try google that)

• 

  ma5jklPřed 2 měsíci

  @Daniel Winters85 bioweapon mode requires installed hepa filter which is physically bigger and model 3 does not have that (if i am not mistaken, not even the latest model 3) so bioweapon mode only for newer Y (i think since 2022) and of course S (newer models) and X (all models)

• 

  Daniel Winters85Před 2 měsíci

  If you're referring to braking when regen is limited, I too have a 2019 m3 lr dual motor and I have this option but don't have other things like bio weapon defense 🤷🏻‍♂️

JambayPřed 2 měsíci

Voice recognition seemed like the greatest feature to get to features! 😃

Enthusiast Car HangarPřed 2 měsíci

Sharing destination from Google map to car? Holy crap that's awesome. I had this feature on mercedes but only through their app and it used to crash half the time and didn't have all destination from Google. Thanks man!

zero 1263Před 2 měsíci

Only thing I would say you missed was quick controls. you can add a fifth quick control within the app nice to have. Happy New Year.

Emre HanleyPřed 2 měsíci

The parking break is actually automatically applied when going into park. Pressing and holding the parking break only disengages and reengages it. 14:10

Ryan’s you can add a fifth (5th) quick command on the app by dragging a command to the far right and waiting until it highlights. It then appears in the bar and the widget

ObaydahPřed 2 měsíci

Also, I was going to be in a huge accident where the car suddenly braked hard for no logical reason other than a pedestrian standing in the between the two driving lanes.. I was speeding up to around 80km/h and it brakes so so hard it freaked me out and thank god I wasn’t rear ended 😢

• 

  acolon8999Před 2 měsíci

  Glad that you didn't get into an accident. I've had a couple of over reactions like that when using autopilot it FSD. Tesla should continue working on that. And they probably are. That pedestrian is lucky. Why would anyone in their right mind stand between two travel lanes when cars are driving 80km/h that's insane. Just the gust of wind produced by cars going at that speed could had put that pedestrian in a really precarious situation.

Gary InmanPřed 2 měsíci

nowscPřed 2 měsíci

You did talk kinda fast! I had to slow down the playback speed :-( but you did a really great job of explaining a lot of things, thank you. I have a 2018 model 3; some things have changed quite a bit. Voice commands “zoom in, zoom out” are useful for me when I want to see more or less on the map. I’ve never seen this voice command delineated anywhere. Thank you for what can you do and for what you’ve been doing!

SANTIAGO SANCHEZPřed 2 měsíci

I enjoyed this video and learned some things. Ryan I’ve had my model 3LR for 15 months now and from the original epa of 354 at 100% it’s down to 309 at 100% , should I be concerned? Tesla says this is normal? Frustrated in Texas….

Why dont you cover voice activated / controlled things and controls on steering wheel. It totally simplifies many things so you dont have to look at the screen

@1:45 other item for hiding the music mini-player card and the player controls moving to top of fullscreen music UI, is... favorite button for Slacker streaming, is ONLY visible on the fullscreen controls bar. (maybe tidal too?) Thumbs up/down are on mini but not the favorite Star.

I have an iPhone and use the calendar to put all my appointments in. I found in the Tesla by clicking the time at the top of the screen it pulls up all of my appointments. You can set this to have the car navigate to each location one right after another as soon as you enter the car or you can turn off this automatic feature and select which of your appointments you want to navigate to manually.

nerakyllas1Před 2 měsíci

I think voice commands are a great feature unfortunately not so if you're an Aussie. When travelling for instance i say navigate to Bermagui which is on the south coast of New South Wales and is well known, it came up with so many variations none of which was any good. On the other hand navigate to eurobodalla botanical gardens worked a treat. One day it will work in Australia, Great Britain and heaps of other countries.
