Super video - I'd like to see a part two video such as... Preheat cabin using app to prevent wipers and side window damage from frozen water. Use app to unlock door to make it easier than punching handle in icy weather. Take over steering from autopilot to avoid road potholes and debris. Hold windscreen clean button to clean camera to prevent repetitive dry wiping of front windscreen due to dirt covering windscreen camera. Avoid tailing construction vehicles that might fling gravel onto windscreen that is a bit lighter and thinner compared other cars. Avoid car washes that might scratch the paint which is water-based so easier to scratch. Be careful of puncturing battery pack by driving over uneven road. Wash sunscreen from palms of hands as the steering wheel material might get damaged from the chemicals.

Good tip on the window opening and closing doors. I didn’t realize I was doing that

Just bought a model 3 performance and owned it for 2 weeks. Your videos are very helpful I’ve been binge watching them this morning. Keep up the good work!

Great tips here, every new Tesla owner should check this video and watch all the way to the end. And the tip about not charging the Lithium ION battery to 100% is important both for preserving the life of the battery and for use of regenerative braking. If you use the HOLD setting for one-pedal driving (which I highly recommend - just try it for a week and you'll never go back) then with yoour battery at 100%, there is no more "room" left in your battery to store the energy generated by lifting your foot slightly back on the accelerator pedal. That energy is lost as heat instead. Thanks to Mr. Frugal for these tips.

So with LFP battery can you just go full-on 100% all the time and try to never get below 20% to maintain battery life?
Thanks for the excellent tips, very appreciated

my yet to be delivered model y will be my fourth electric vehicle. we leased the first two and still own the third. we charged each one to 100% on a regular basis for the entire 3 year lease on each and weve never had any problems; no heat, no capacity loss, etc. that probably has a lot do with the fact that we rarely ever charge over 12 amps.

[tobiaszdabkowski]

Thanks for explaining me how to close the hood

[chemicallyfreenolye]

I have a LFP battery👍🏽I just want to say my Tesla purchase was the best purchase I have ever made, my co workers have non Tesla EV’s and hate road trips They complain about their charging options, not me.

[TeslaCamNYC]

I suggest preconditioning, especially in the morning, before your departure.

[didierpuzenat]

Nice, good advices. For the doors sadly you have to push a little hard to be sure it closes, at least for my 2018 model 3.

[dathyr]

Thanks for all your information. I am a single user of my Model Y. I have watched many Tesla videos and aware of all these precautions. One thing, I only charge up at home so never use Supercharging. I always charge battery to 90% and with my daily driving always recharge when it gets down to 60%. Just my daily habits. I do not recharge every day due to just around town driving, only when needed.
I do precondition in colder weather and set a departure time when I plan to start driving.

[chrisspeer]

Charging to 100% isn’t a good routine practice but just prior to a road trip is what it’s designed for.

[MikeOliverDesign]

Thank you, picked mine up today and I didn't know any of this.

[pattywright]

Do the batteries need preconditioned before I charge with my home charger. I’m assuming because it is so much slower than the supercharger that preconditioning would not be necessary. And also does driving it count as preconditioning?

[goseeinsuranceoptions]

I can see you Love your Tesla…Thank you for the tips! I just got a model Y and Loving it too! Cheers

[guitrarist]

Just bought a model Y last December. Haven't checked if the car has an LFP battery or not. If it does, is it ok to charge more than 80%?

[lucerochavez]

For the people that use our own charge at home, ,, do we have to preacondition the car ?

[lisagulley]

Is the blind spot monitoring only present when you use autopilot??
