Since Tesla lacks the typical blind spot lights on the side mirrors, if I’m about to change lanes or merge I like to tap the camera icon to reveal the backup camera since Tesla recently allows you to swipe up to reveal both blind spot cameras. If you want to maximize the security on your Tesla, you can do 2 things: Enable multi factor authentication with a free 2 factor authentication app. In your Tesla app choose Start under Controls section and it will unlock your Tesla and allow anyone to drive it within a 2 minute countdown. Enable honk to save dash cam clips so you can quickly honk and it will save the footage to your DashCam drive. Voice commands have improved so if you want do something, first try to see if there’s a voice command for it by pressing the right scroll wheel button and saying the command. If you like to use Google Maps to look up a destination on your phone before getting into your Tesla, you can share the destination to your Tesla by pressing the “Share” button on your phone, then select the Tesla App and it'll send the destination to your Tesla navigation system. Hold down on the fan icon for a few seconds to turn off the climate control which is much easier than tapping. Hold down on the fan icon when you’re done defrosting or defogging to turn off everything to save you from tapping multiple times and to help you maximize your range efficiency if you don't need the climate control to stay on. Autopilot detects the speed limit zone you’re in, and if you enable Autopilot it will set your speed to the speed limit, but you can go into your settings and set it to relative +5 which means Autopilot will automatically set the speed to 5 mph over the speed limit. When you’re on cruise control or Autopilot and you accelerate up to a certain speed do a quick scroll up on the right scroll wheel and instead of increasing by 5 mph it will actually set your cruise speed to whatever speed you’re at when you do the quick scroll. If Autopilot doesn’t detect a hand on the wheel it will eventually alert you to nudge the wheel to make sure you’re still paying attention, but instead of nudging the wheel you can also toggle or press either of the scroll wheel buttons to quickly dismiss the Autopilot alert. To avoid being alerted by Autopilot about grabbing the wheel, try to set your steering wheel and seat position in a way that you can comfortably rest each of your elbows on either side and rest your hand on the bottom left or right part of the steering wheel to satisfy Autopilot while also being comfortable.

A rare piece of video that is actually full of content and (almost) clean of BS. The internet needs more of this.
Looking forward for more!

If your charger gets stuck in your charge port for any reason, there's a manual release cord in the trunk behind the charge port.

3:01 my man really made the password "6969" 😂
7:32 made the temperature 69º F

Love your videos Andy!

It’s a bit overwhelming to learn all the new capabilities. Thank you for helping out and showing us the step by step actions. This is very useful.

While watching a youtube video or movie on netflix, you can skip forward or backward 5 seconds by using the left scroll-wheel (push it left or right).

Who else is watching but don't have one

Be sure to purchase a key-ring holder for the key card and keep it in your glove box so that when you give it to valet they'll be able to tag and hang it with the other keys. Also, always keep your J1772 charger adaptor in the glove box in case you have to plug in at a non-Tesla charger.

Thanks Andy, great tips. I’ve owned my Model Y for 4 months really love the car.
The most amazing thing about it?
The more I know about it, the more I realize how little I know about it.
Thanks again for the tips.

So many helpful tips to learn! Will have to watch this video at least one or two more times to digest all this information. Thanks for sharing.

If you press the top of the screen, between the icons, you can show or hide the buttons on the right side of the map.

I don't even have a Telsa, but imma still watch!

For cruise control- if you pull the lever down quickly, cruise control will be set to your current speed. If you pull the lever down and hold it for a second, it will set cruise to the speed limit plus your chosen offset. Much faster way to set it and not get pulled over.

You can split the horizontal airflow of each passenger by using two fingers simultaneously and split the airflow. It's trickier to connect the two airflows but it's cool if you want the air to flow around you and not on you. I love that feature and I have never seen any youtube video talking about it. Be the first!

[scottmcinnes]

Thanks Andy. To set autopilot to speed limit, no need to reach out and touch the speed limit symbol on the screen. Just hold down the right stalk for a second or two

[Do.Not.Believe.The.Narrative]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - What a gift as I am preparing to take delivery of a Model Y !!!

[EricJohnsa]

This guy's videos were very influential in me purchasing a Tesla. All of his videos are very informative and fair and balanced. And yes I absolutely love my Tesla Model Y Performance.

[StealthSabre]

I love the way that you integrated your sponsor ad into this; seamless, relevant, and interesting. People would probably watch more ads if they all were like this.

[manuever]

I wish Tesla instruction videos can include these features. Thanks a lot!

[ecuyerdav]

Thanks Andy for those tricks. I d add that you can push the right stuff down during 2 seconds to adjust your speed to speed limit instead of touching the screen.

[jimmynguyen]

Great vid andy! Also to put a car in neutral press the press/pull the right stalk down lightly for 2 seconds.
