I saw part 1 first but didn’t comment. I’ll go back and do that to show support. I haven’t purchased my Tesla yet. Just in the research stage and your videos are helpful. May I ask do you have tips for cold weather climates on RU-vid?
10:24 You should NOT jump start your tesla battery to other cars. It is not supported and can damage your battery and electronics once the petrol engine is running and the alternator is running. This can damage your electronics and then the warranty is lost !!!
Kudos to you, brother! In July, my 2020 Model 3 was broadsided by a Nissan Titan. My dashcam, which was set to Auto, didn't record the event. But because of this video, I learned how to access those recordings from Tesla, and I got them today. So awesome. Thanks so much!
This is beyond excellent! Top notch information and presentation! It is so annoying when creators seem to try out for a comedy special, didn’t pre-pro their equipment or try to be too cutsie. This just the facts approach is welcome and appreciated.
Just bought a 22 Model S but I found some useful things in this video. Plus I love that you took the "too many 'guys'!" comments from the last video to heart for this one! LOL
I quickly discovered the changing gears while still moving, and never thought twice about it. That's probably because until I got my M3, I never drove automatic transmissions. For well over 40 years, I was used to stepping on the clutch and going from reverse to 1st, or vice versa, and often the car would still be moving when I released the clutch pedal to go in the new direction. I'm proud of the fact that I've only ever made a stab for the clutch twice, since purchasing the car over a year ago.
Mike these are great. New owner this week. Commented on your last video didn’t know any of this either. The Tesla videos bored me I don’t need all the extra fluff. Live how you just say how to do it. Also the video is edited very well with the demos. Great stuff and thank you very much for this.
Just got a model 3 , so still working thru how to do everything. Can’t figure out how to check my stereo speakers or adjust the bass, fader etc. van you help? Thanks.
There’s a volume icon on the bottom right of the screen there’s a speaker icon. If you tap on it a slider will open. On the left side of that slider you’ll see a EQ button. Tap on it and you’ll get the menu you’re looking for. Congrats on the Model 3!
Great stuff! My favorite feature I stumbled across is songs on demand. If you active voice control and tell the car to play a specific song, it will do so-it doesn’t have every single song, but it has a lot! I’ve curated a playlist on trips before just by calling them up one after another while driving.
Like you thought, I thought I knew everything. But I did learn about the hidden headdress, and the scroll wheel customization. And I did like to review of all the other functions. Thank you.
You can hit the rt button on the steering wheel & say "open frunk" for it to open or "close frunk" to close it (works the same with the trunk).. also, you can say "Tesla, my balls are cold" & it'll turn on your seat warmers. Lastly, you can say "Tesla, open butthole" & it'll open your charge port. Or say "close butthole" to close the charge port. Not sure if it works on all models but it works on the 2024 Model Y. Enjoy!
Thank you for the tip to turn on parking assist! My FSD trial ends tomorrow, I’ll have to go try it. HOW DO YOU PRECINDITION THE BATTERY FOR DRIVING ON A Model Y??? NOT for charging, but actually before driving?? The manual says to precindition the battery before driving, but not how. It also says to use the heated seats and the heated steering wheel instead of cabin heat if possible to save battery life. (usually seat heater keeps me warm enough, so not an issue) And yet, the only pre-drive preconditioning I’ve seen listed is starting the climate before going out to leave - I’m encouraged not to run the heater when I’m in the car but I’m going to run it while the car is empty??? Oh, did they remove the option to add a 5th shortcut to the shortcut bar in the tesla phone app. never been able to make that work.
4:02 Great video, I was about to add a quick 5th control, but I think you meant to show the front B pillar camera instead of the side camera that we can access via the dashcam.
Awesome video brother! THANKS MUCH for all the great tips and info. This cuts the learning curve way down and gives people real world functionality, safety, and fun features. You're the man!
Hi Mike, when i get incoming phone calls in my Model 3, the ring volume is TOO LOUD. Is there a way to set/adjust ringtone lower? I tried lowering the volume on left scroll of steering wheel, but there must be a way to set it lower. Thoughts?
Hey it isn't a cover it's an entire steering wheel replacement you can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HaOgoPoh8X8.htmlsi=YX6-30cvuhtBEqA8
Enjoyed the videos Mike but I have one question. When backing up, I use the three backup cameras but, if cross traffic approaches from behind me while backing, is there not a chime that should go off to warn me? My Lexus had that and it’s hard to believe Tesla would not have something similar.
Great video , when Highland gets released I'm getting the performance variant 👍🏻 so I've been watching tons of RU-vid content ( yes im a Tesla fan boy 😂) so I knew all these features you mentioned 😊 but again thank you for the content , subscriber
Good stuff Mike! I like the door unlatch feature and service mode. The 12v battery is a big Achilles heel for the tesla. Hopefully someday they will just use high V to low V converter and get rid of the 12v battery altogether.
you showed how the multimedia interface right above the climate control temperature spot can be shrunk down and becomes the music note on the icon bar, but when it’s open, did you know you can swipe right to left and the next screen over has your odometer, miles since last charge and miles for the current trip. easiest way to show your odometer without hiding the whole navigation screen if you go into control to get to the odometer display. I don’t understand why there’s not an odometer always up on the top bar somewhere - ideally one with tenths of a mile - as there doesn’t seem to be any odometer with tenths of a mile in it.
One of my favorite features hasn't been mentioned in either video - unless I slept through something. When cruise control (of any level) is on, pushing the right wheel (on the steering wheel) left and right increases or decreases your following distance, measured in car lengths. Currently, you can go from following the car in front of you by 2 car lengths up to 6. Do not push the wheel in, push it right and left. I love this feature when on the highway.
Hey Mike. I actually knew one of these hacks. Figured it out by accident when I lost my music bar. Finally noticed the musical note and voila, got my music bar back. Love your tips. I'd be lost without them. I have a Model 3 in Toronto, Canada. Thank you for all your tips. I'll forgo the car camping tho. I'm a motorcycle rider and have a tent that can cover my Harley!! Take care.
Giving someone remote access, you can build a profile for that person that is separate from yours. They wont be able to access any of your info, just the ability to drive the car.
correct, The new battery is not a lead-acid battery, and has a smaller connector, unsuitable for jump-starting other cars. The Tesla owners manual also indicates that it is not possible to jump start other cars with this new battery type: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8-MNFgashpQ.html The new battery should have a much longer lifespan that a lead-acid battery, which should help with serenity mode. I don't now if Tesla is currently using the new battery in all models and factories.
My odometer said 15, also but it was actually 20. Whenever I buy a car I snap a photo of the odometer before I drive away, so I have evidence of reality.
2023 Model Y here but cannot find the auto park or summon features anywhere, hidden or otherwise. I do have FSD (beta) on 3 month trial. Great channel Mike!
Mike! Holy crap bro! I’ve honestly never seen such a massive improvement from a part 1 to part 2 video as far as your scripting is concerned!! 🔥 I don’t think you said “guys” even a single time! Great video awesome job! You taught me about the trunk hook and moving the blind spot screen view in this one thank you! Just a heads up a pre existing customer needs to order from within their own app, they won’t get the referral perks you mentioned by ordering from someone else’s referral code if they already own a Tesla.
Question: I have a 2019 Model S. My app does not have live sentry mode. I saw you demonstrating on a short video, where you honk the horn, flash the lights, and talk through the exterior speaker. Is this a function on particular models? (3, Y, X) or on later models newer than 2019?
What are you talking about? I said you need a refresh model, that means the new model S. My videos are for ALL Teslas. But if you want to be childish and unsubscribe then please do because I would hate to have people like you on my channel.
@MikeSeuss I'm not being childish sir, but if none of the things work with my Model S, you're suggesting I buy a refreshed Model S? Thanks for your response.
About jumping someone with the Tesla 12 volt battery - I heard in another video that it is not advisable to use the Tesla 12 volt battery to jump someone's vehicle. So I will not do this hidden suggestion. Thanks for the other hidden features, some of them I knew from other videos.
@@MikeSeuss She is in California now. She used to travel to New York back in the good old days to party. I will tell her she was correct. Thanks for the informative Tesla videos. She loves her 2021 Model 3.
@@MikeSeuss Yes, in the Apple App store it shows a MS app screen and that is what I see for my 2019 MX LR. I guess M3/MY are different. I see no way to do this. If I click controls for example it opens a new screen and I don't have the quick icon anymore.
Enjoying your Tesla videos I recently have a problem with my driver seat settings that I hope you can help me resolve. My daughter has added her driver seat settings and now her settings have become the default. can you help me change back to my settings? when i get in the car i can barely get in the seat so i can go to the screen and press my name so the settings change to my preferences. THANKS
Thank you so much for watching and reaching out! It sounds like quite a pesky situation you’ve found yourself in with the driver seat settings. 😅 Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you sort this issue: Set Your Profile as Primary (if possible): On the main screen, tap your profile name (which might currently be your daughter’s). Then, tap your profile name, and under the options, there should be one to “Set as Default Driver” or a similar option depending on the software version. If for any reason you can’t set yours as the primary profile, here’s an alternative method to consider: Adjust and Save Your Profile: Adjust the seat (and steering wheel/mirror if necessary) to your preferred position. Go to the ‘Profiles’ section on the screen and tap your name. Tap 'Save’ and confirm any changes. Easy Entry Setting: Additionally, consider setting up an "Easy Entry" profile which moves the seat (and steering wheel) to a position that makes it easier to get in and out of the vehicle when it's parked. To set up an 'Easy Entry' profile, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable position for getting in and out of the vehicle, then save those settings to a new driver profile named "Easy Entry" through the same menu. Use of Key Fobs/Phone App: If you're using key fobs, make sure to link your key fob to your driver profile by going to Controls > Locks, then assigning the key fob to your profile. Each driver can have their fob, which automatically adjusts settings when unlocked. If you use the Tesla app, ensuring that the phone key is also linked to the correct profile is essential to avoid mix-ups. Remember: Whenever there's a software update, it’s good practice to check if all the settings remain as you prefer, since updates can sometimes reset or alter personalized settings. If you’ve tried these steps and are still experiencing issues, it might be a good idea to reach out directly to Tesla Support or your nearest service center for further assistance.
Does Tesla have a feature to enlarge the text in the small and the big screen? I must really put on my glasses to read the range and that kind of things, in my iPhone I can do that...I am 69 years old, there might be more people hoping for this possibility.
