30 Tesla Tips and Tricks for 2023 | New Update Edition

@radicalradzikPřed 11 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.

@Mundzuk63Před 11 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.

@dereksylvester2226Před 3 měsíci

Personally I think setting it to roll is more energy efficient because it doesn't use the brakes to stop your vehicle. If you stop short at a stop sign, your car slows to a crawling roll using all regen braking and your vehicle doesn't need to begin rolling again. Also the actuator wouldn't get worn out as quickly.

@DannyWelchPřed 10 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!

@peturhloversson3092Před 11 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.

  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.

@MikeKobbPřed 11 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. There is never any reason to press it except in an emergency. The long press is to avoid applying it by accident while above the regular parking brake threshold. This is in the manual.

@andyharris3084Před 11 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.

@jonathandelaughter4102Před 10 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.

@yashp077Před 11 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

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?

@davedyer3654Před 11 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.

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.

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.

@vancity2349Před 11 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)

However, while the door did unmatch and could be opened, the window was FROZEN. I didn't want to risk the window breaking by closing the door. I spent 45 minutes with the door pulled as close to being shut as I could while blasting defrost mode the entire time. Eventually, the window thawed enough that the window could go down. Tesla needs to make sure windows don't freeze or at least can be thawed out faster than 45 minutes!

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.
