  • @craigchatterton4164
    @craigchatterton4164 Год назад +8

    8:14 One thing to note about the parking brake. If you're driving down the street, hitting that button does nothing (car is smart enough to not go into park while you're driving). However, if you hold down that button, the car WILL engage the parking brake which will stop you suddenly. A few years ago I lost my Model S to Sudden Unintended Acceleration and when we bought the X my wife wanted to know how to stop the car in case that ever happened again. That's when we were told about the "hold the park button" feature. We actually tested it in a parking lot (only while creeping forward) before we bought the X.

      Yeah, I accidentally stumbled upon this while driving and was imagining that my breaks wouldn't work then it hit me to try park brake, but that did only warning that it is not available while driving. So I hold it a bit and then it started to brake, so I released it and it released itself, so you have to hold it to continuously brake.

    Just an FYI; The parking brake is always automatically applied when in Park. The red icon indicator only is shown when placing in park manually, despite always being engaged while in park. This is useful if you want to apply the brake when not in park. This is noted in the manual.

    Instead of poking the screen, which I try to avoid while driving, you can hold the autopilot(right) stalk down for a second while autopilot(or cruise control) is active to switch to the current speed limit.

I too had my trunk door scratched as it hit the raised garage door while open.

Unless you drive in Easy Entry mode, those changes will not take effect when you go to your personal profile.

    Here are some hidden features I wish were there:
    1. Synthetic 'drone view' of the car and its surrounds. Other manufacturers do this with far lesser cameras, so why not Tesla?
    2. Forward looking flank view like the reversing camera view, but looking forward. Useful when maneuvering forward in tight spaces like parking or entering garage.
    3. Interior view camera viewable from the app. Would be useful if you leave (older) kids or pets in the car.
    4. Family keys without the ability to drive the car. Sync the kids phones so they can get in and out and work the entertainment and comfort systems, but cannot drive the car. (OK PIN to drive, but that is a pain for the legit drivers).
    5. One-time Scheduled Departure. You can set a scheduled departure time so it tops off the charge and preconditions ready for that time. But you can only set this for every day or every weekday and have to remember to cancel it or it does it again next day.
    6. A proper 'blended' driving mode. Like 'Hold' except it uses the friction brake if not enough force is available from regenerative braking. It should have a consistent acceleration/deceleration to peddle position mapping independent of battery charge state or slope of road.
    7. Configurable 'distance tolerance' around speed limit changes for warnings. At the moment the limit changes instantaneously as the car passes the sign. Human drivers start to speed up when they see a sign increasing the limit but only start slowing down as they pass the sign reducing it.
    8. An accelerator 'dead zone' around the current speed limit. This would be a less intrusive way to alert the driver to speed limit violations rather than a sounder.

    Great video. For emergencies or if the door open button doesn’t work, there’s a manual release to open doors. It’s located on that area forward of the window buttons where it curves downward in a smooth wedge, between the door and the door handle. Place your fingers to grip the wedge and pull up. Door will open. Tesla will display a message saying manually opening doors might confuse or damage window or door sensors so do this only when needed.

    Excellent advice. I have owned a Tesla for 4 years and there were 5 of your items that I did not know. One you did not mention is that you can quickly change the speed by spinning the right wheel up or down. The speed changes to the next even 5 mph. For example a spin down takes 71 to 75 down to 70 mph.

    @RuslanSendecky Год назад +6

    Thanks for the info.
    Two additions/corrections.
    1) Holding 2 scroll wheels doesn't reboot the car, it just reboots the screen. To reboot the car, you need to press the brake pedal and hold the scroll wheels at the same time.
    2) Holding the parking button does exactly the same thing as tapping it. Holding the button while already in park will just reapply the brakes, hence the sound you hear.
    The only difference between holding and tapping is that the former puts the parking brake icon on your screen. Weird.

      I heard from Tesla that holding the brake down with the scroll wheels doesn't do anything more then just the scroll wheels. Was a myth. I can never tell a difference so I just use the scroll wheels now like Tesla said.

    A true hidden feature is that you have 5 shortcut icons / quick controls in the app and not just 4. Would highly recommend not having the large size widget unless you want to accidentally open doors etc when swiping on your Home Screen. I got an alert that my trunk had been left open, sentry mode even showed trunk seeming to open on its own. Turns out it was an accidental press on the widget.

    @normanbaculinao5770 Год назад +42

    Thank you for the great tips Mike!. Another useful tip is when in AP, and you need to adjust your "car following" distance, you can use the left scroll button left or right to adjust it. Pull to the left to increase this distance and to the right to reduce it. At higher speeds I found it more comfortable when I set this at the farthest settings and when traffic starts to slow down, I shorten this distance to minimize people cutting me off.

      Regarding your question about scheduling charging based on battery percentage: as of the last information available to me in January 2022, Tesla does allow scheduled charging but it’s based on time, not battery percentage.
      Unfortunately, as of now, there isn't a feature that allows the vehicle to automatically begin charging when it hits a certain battery percentage. Once plugged in, the vehicle will charge until it reaches the set charge limit and will maintain that level as long as it’s plugged in.

    Mike I have a Tesla S model and I had been complaining about not really knowing my vehicle like I want to and you helped out tremendously. Thanks & I look forward to more videos👍🏽

    I am currently not a Tesla owner, but hopefully that will change in the next couple of years :) the one main item that you did not mention in your video was that instead of manually going through these hidden features using the in cabin feature command screen, all you really would need to do is use the voice command option to perform most if not all of these hidden features, just a thought lol.
