Q&A

How do I switch between drive and reverse without using the brake pedal?

As long as you're going five miles per hour or under, you can switch between drive and reverse without pressing the brake pedal.

What does regenerative braking do and how can I optimize it?

Regenerative braking slows down the car and charges the battery when you release the accelerator pedal. To optimize it, set your stopping mode to 'hold' and enable the 'apply brakes when regenerative braking is limited' setting.

Can I control my Tesla remotely using the Tesla app?

Yes, the Tesla app allows you to perform actions such as venting the windows, unlocking the doors, and even viewing live camera feeds from the exterior and interior of your car.

How can I maximize the range of my Tesla?

Maximize your range by setting your tire PSI to the maximum allowed, using the energy graph to monitor energy consumption, and adjusting your driving habits accordingly.

What should I do if my turn signal doesn't automatically turn off?

You can quickly cancel your turn signal by pressing in the same direction halfway. Alternatively, enable the automatic turn signal feature, which turns off the turn signal automatically after completing a lane change or turn.
