This channel has been a lifesaver. I’ve been debating ordering a Tesla for a few months, but was struggling to find someone near me geographically to see the pros and cons. You are very upfront and honest about good and bad which is very important.

Just got my M3 RWD a week ago. I have noticed on most of the videos ( and my own experience) that the "special advisors" do little to help your purchase or give knowledgeable advice. It's the RU-vidrs like you Andy that fill in the many blanks when purchasing a Tesla. Tesla is basically an online order system like Amazon.

Always great to get a refresher on the basics. Nice job!

Andy! I appreciate your videos, they're golden trove of great information. I can't wait to get my model 3 lr this may!

Andy, you're awesome. Thank you for all the deep insight in your channel. I'm finally graduating from PT school in June, and I've known for 3 years now that a model 3 will be my first car when I graduate. Thanks to you I'm confident to order a Model 3 once the deliveries date it June :)

Thanks for the video! Waiting on my Model 3 to arrive

Excellent video. Your camera and Screenshots are Crystaline. The best I've seen when it comes to being able to see the Tesla screen. Thank you so much.

You are the best. Always informative and professional.

Thanks for sharing all this.

great video thanks!

Straight forward. Thanks!

Great tips. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Andy, This was a wonderful video. While it seems your cellphone app has slight differences to mine, I can't wait to take your video into the car and check all my configurations to your best practices! Cheers, Eric

Love this. Great help. Thank you.

Brilliant video, very informative. Thanks

Nice job Andy. I now feel confident, leaving tomorrow on my first road trip;-) Thanks

This was helpful. Thanks Andy.

Great video Andy.

Thank you Andy, very useful. Took a few wee notes for when we get our car.

Long time, no see! Great video Andy, thanks!

My M3LR arrives in May 🎉 Been watching all of your videos 😄

Great video !!! My M3LR is due May-June. Cant wait !

Very helpful, thank you.

oh man I hadn't noticed the navigation voice setting. I am so thankful for that

🙏🏼 Thank you 🌱

Great look inside your Model 3 settings....we are waiting for our Model 3 delivery in May 2022 so this was a good orientation to the screen settings. Always enjoy your channel postings, Andy, even if I don't comment. This channel is one of my goto stops for Tesla info.

Superb

Great overview. Waiting for my MYLR delivery set for May 2022.

Thanks, a very useful report and we like your style.

4-years Tesla veteran's advice & info. Nice video!

Excellent and thorough information. Thanks a lot!

Thanks.

I will pick my tesla MYLR next week. this is super helpful! thanks

Never had a Tesla or getting one soon. But I love your videos on Tesla :)

jeez I might need to watch this a handful of times..just picked up my M3 today and not sure where too start

Great Vid I only have the large main screen on my back up camera I don't recall seeing an arrow but going to check it out today. Hoping its there I like the view with the three cameras you showed. I have the same year make and model as you do but I just purchased it last weekend still learning your vids are helping me out.

Check with hyper mileage techniques. cruise control actually uses slightly more energy than allowing the car to slow slightly going up the hill and then speed up slightly when going down by keeping a steady pedal.

Wow, I already have all my settings set basically the same lol. Great video

You skipped lights...I am always looking for Tesla owners to provide inputs about the native ambient lighting features on the Tesla's...

Good video.

Great vid man. Excited AF to get my model 3 LR 😬

Great tips Andy. Surprising differences between the model 3 and the Model X.

Nice video for people like me waiting for Model Y LR !!!

One additional thing I would mention in terms of maximizing battery lifespan. I've been keeping the battery charged at Tesla's recommendation of 80%, but really it's up to however much range you need on a regular basis, what your charging situation is like, and what battery type is in your car. Lithium-ion batteries are healthiest at about 50%, and keeping it as close to 50% as possible and avoiding charging/discharging more than +/- 20-30% will maximize its lifespan. My commute is pretty light, and I don't discharge more than 10% a day in the cold, and I don't drive everyday, so I've recently started keeping the charge at 70% and might even drop to a max of 60% soon. But, people have different opinions about this. It may or may not make a significant impact on lifespan. In fact, iirc I was told by Tesla that the battery cells charge and discharge in a cycle, kind of like a queue, so that you don't charge/discharge the same cells constantly, so idk exactly how much the charging maximum affects the battery health. But this was a while ago so I could be misremembering. Ultimately, set the charge to meet your needs because the battery is engineered to do so, but be aware of your battery's chemistry and what's best for it as well.

Wow 🤩

Epic

Headed to test drive tomorrow, I believe I'll be ordeing a Model 3 Long range after that! Thanks for the video!

In my Model S, if you adjust the volume while the Navigation is speaking, it adjusts the Navigation volume only (independent of the music volume). A very nice feature. I'm not sure if it's in my Model 3 yet, I just got it!

Cabin overheat protection is good for hot climates like in Florida

Thanks Andy! No always on dark mode? My favorite.

If you set the regen to low you will get better efficiency by just coasting, because regen is always a loss, you just get around 70% of energy back. This has bee tested and confirmed many times. And if you want stronger regen just use the brake, it regens as well.

Great video being a new Tesla owner very helpful. How did you get your screen at night to show full screen of road with Tesla ? Thanks paul

Your car is beautiful 😻 I am sooo in love with my M3LRAW 🖤🔥🔥🔥

Funny (to me) the idea of the settings being daunting. I can’t wait to go through and adjust all the settings when our Tesla arrives. Just living vicariously through you until then

I would like to see a deep dive on schedule departure time and start charging at settings. I can never seem to get them to work properly. I’d like to see the real ins and outs of these. What I’d really like is to have the car finished charging at a scheduled time I set.

Andy, I've probably been watching your videos for a year now. So you bear *some* responsibility for the fact that last night I pulled the trigger and ordered a 2019 Model 3 LR. I rented one through Turo in November, and am eager to begin my ownership experience. And as a native Louisvillian (living in Pittsburgh), I hope that the next time I visit the hometown, you will let me buy you lunch!

Saved for pick-up day in May/June

Thanks for the share upper! I ordered my 2022 Model 3 LR on Feb 24th with an EDD window of May 18th-June 15th and I can hardly wait for my “race ship”. Two questions: 1) Did your “race ship” arrive early, on time, or late? 2) Did Tesla deliver it to you home, even if you were less than 200 miles from a Tesla dealership?

We have activated PIN to Drive for theft prevention. Although there’s a minor inconvenience to tapping the PIN each time, that’s far outweighed by the assurance that if we leave our phone in our car by mistake (yes, it happens), a bad guy who notices that our mirrors didn’t fold (!) can’t just jump in and drive away-taking both our car and our means of reporting the theft. (Alas, they could still steal just our phone. :/ )

Good idea on setting up a guest profile, I'll have to do that. Note that in some places (maybe all?) you have to have a special bumper sticker to use HOV lanes. I guess that's because the police have a hard time telling which vehicles are EVs and which aren't, especially with all the new models coming out.

This video was very helpful. However the first item you talked about was the rear facing cameras. But you never told us how we can access the rear facing cameras to put it on the access bar on the bottom. Could you make a quick video about that please?

Great video. Ive had my MY for a year. I’m not happy with the software update to the UI. Can you do a more in-depth video on the dashcam? I have mine set to record upon a honk, but I understand that this can also stop the recording. Plus, given the number of road-rage incidents out there, I don’t want to risk drawing attention or making someone angry. There used to be a small camera icon on the top of the screen to record… but now its gone. Thanks so much.

Taking delivery of my Model Y Performance in two hours. Woo!!!👊🏻

Awesome video! How long before your FSD was approved?

What’s the main difference between the two Speed Limit Offsets? I noticed you only covered the first one in this video. Your videos have been so informative. I just got my Tesla a few days ago.

Is it possible to swap the panels on the screen? Move the Navigation panel left rather than it being on the right

I like that Guest user profile tip.

Hi Andy. Good stuff, thanks for doing this. QQ: Can you pls provide the link for that phone holder near your screen, looks like a good product. Thx.

I thought I saw valet as a setting but you went past it quickly and didnt talk about it. Maybe you could do a settings part 2, a deep dive? I would be curious to know about things like this. Thank you.

I'm not even old enough to drive, but i love technology. This is perfect.

I loooove slacker radio

Where did you get the radar detector mount from?

Even better when someone else drives your car: use valet mode. It doesn't save any driver settings, and they can't open the frunk or glovebox if you have valuables stored there.

Great vid again Andy and my 2022 Model 3 LR was delivered this Sunday! The dealership was MAD teaming with ppl picking up their cars and two Plaids were on deck.....the yoke is crazy! I'm fortunate to have only had to wait 3 months and 2 weeks because I know some ppl who waited 4-5 months to get their "Race Ship". Make sure you guys do a good inspection of your vehicle and use a checklist, I found ZERO issues with the vehicle however, I did not have the charging accessory kit in the car. Tesla has already announced that they would stop providing them but would instead give owners a voucher so they can order one from the website which will take FOREVER due to all this supply chain shortage insanity. I made a big deal about not having the kit and had to "turn up" a little and the next thing I know this kid from the service area came out to my car and handed me a brand new kit. You are gonna want one because it has an adapter for you to use on charging connectors at non-Tesla Super Chargers and it came in handy today at work. We have seven commercial chargers in our parking garage and we get the first four hours free with SemaConnect who provides the charging stations at my work site but I could only attach the charging connector with the adapter (I still had enough juice to get home so no stress if I couldn't juice up). I have a few questions you seasoned owners can help me with if you don't mind: 1) How do I view the footage that was recorded in Sentry Mode, and how do I view the dashcam footage? 2) I plan on having the sides tinted but find no reason to have the rear tinted because the glass roof is just a curved panoramic masterpiece like my Kia K5 was and unlike a normal car there is not hard border to divide the rear window from the roof....so why would it even be necessary? Also I've heard some ppl tint the front and I've never tinted the front window of the past five vehicles I've owned, so can someone tell me if you did for either the front OR rear and why? 3) I like the Aero rim covers that came on my car which is the silver metallic/gray one but I've seen those glossy black rim covers on Amazon for $200 and it sorta gives the car a different look. Have any of you guys changed your rim covers and if so with what? Much thanks for those in the community who don't mind sharing.......it means a lot and for those who are still patiently waiting, trust me when I say it's worth the frack'n wait and the more these soul-crushing gas prices rise (the GAO has already said prices will NOT go down this year and will continue to climb) the more happy you'll be with your race-ship.....as long as the power grid isn't down. I really advise you guys to have a gas powered vehicle on hand in case that happens and it will happen so just have a Plan B.....peace!

Just picked up my new RWD Model 3, great video. You could have mentioned that the newer cars with LFP battery can and should be charged to 100% on a daily basis.

Good movie. Totally agree with the wipers. I also use it manually due to the poor auto function. Miss a handle for that 😒 I would like to have that regen braking option. It should be level 0, 1, 2, 3 so I could choose level1. Miss paddle shifters for that 😒

Can you do an FSD drive video on v10.11?

What radar do you have behind the screen? And did it come with that mount?

I'd love to hear more about your 'winter' driving profile!

What are your top 5 icons listed from left to right on bottom of screen after Rear View Mirror?

Hey Andy, thanks for the information. Just a quick question. I want to remove the Tesla USB in the glovebox and put an SSD HD to increase the sentry mode recording. Can you point me to how to safely remove the usb. I can seems to find it in the interface of the new software version.

After driving model 3. Would you go for model 3 long range or performance???

Guest profile is a good idea! Do you really think chill mode is more efficient for Performance M3?

You put out some great video I do appreciate and enjoy them. I have a Y Pro 2022 and really enjoy driving it. Was wondering if you heard anything about adding any new beta FSD users? Got mine in mid December turned on the setting to get the beta and 30days and 1,800 miles every day drive 100% still no. Was wondering if they put a hold on it because of things going on with it. Do you have any opinions I know you are looking to get yours also. Hope you get yours very soon. Good 🤞 luck! Keep putting out those awesome videos!! Great job!! Thx

Any features for tire rotation. I like having a 5k mile reminder. Burning through tires. M3 life 😊

Have you got PPF applied to the front of your car? Trying to decide if its worth the cost

Andy how do you enter a new address on navigation mode.

Looks like you got the manual transmission there bud! LOL 7:11

How can you get beta on FSD when I get my new Model Y FSD?

I never thought to slide the sentry mode button to the leftmost position. Sensible.

Did you put the clear cover over the front ?

Do you have a mount for a radar detector above the screen? If so which model radar and mount?

Square steering wheel for tesla is perfect 👌😁 i know where can you get it in a great price 🤩

Can you please link me to your radar detector and mount?

Hi, in the Autopilot / Speed Limit, what is the difference between "Relative" and "Absolute"?

I live in Louisville as well! I’m a UofL student!!

What is the device on top of the middle screen for? Looks like it’s for holding some kind electronic device

Oooooo! How did you get that full screen visualization of the autopilot?? Is that a FSD feature?

help ! i keep searching and can not find how the tesla drive & brake & safety systems work during high performance driving
