10 useful tips to make driving your Tesla model 3 just that much better! | 2 of 3

[@rodneysmith1750]

Just got my 2021 Model 3 LR a few days ago, and I've been binge-watching your channel, quite simply love the channel, your presentation style, and content, and oh yes I Love my Model 3!!

[@teslatragic7114]

The drag navigation is very cool. Not a gimmick at all - great UI. Ahoy-hoy - now that is a gimmick

[@CfTesla]

Tesla Tragic agreed! It actually has been quite useful

[@jhawk3910]

Here’s a recommendation to help you gain more viewers. Joint the Model 3 FB groups and scroll through all the posts from brand new Model 3 owners who don’t read the manual, and make a video to address those comments. For example: why is there a blue bar on my battery symbol, why is there a snowflake, what does the warning ‘regenerative braking limited’ mean. I’d title the video something along the lines of ‘Common Model 3 questions answered for those who don’t like to read the manual.’ You’ll have content for days. Good luck on the channel!

[@CfTesla]

J Hawk great recommends and thank you for commenting. I will do that!

[@CfTesla]

This might be a problem with that idea after going and reading the terms of ownership. Says you can’t post your own KZbin video links or you will be banned.

[@CfTesla]

If course it’s still a great idea for getting content that people need

[@jhawk3910]

Cf Tesla you’ll have people like me post your videos if they address a need.

[@CfTesla]

Challenge accepted!

[@tedbaxter5234]

Yep, good for a new owner or an owner who never got it to the groove on different options to make them the master of their car! Thank you!

[@CfTesla]

Ted Baxter Ted thanks for the comment! Are you a new or veteran Tesla owner yourself?

[@IRONWOODCrossFit]

Loved your videos. Stuff I didn’t know. Thanks. If you fold your cleaning towel twice... you don’t have to go into clean screen mode. ☺️

[@CfTesla]

Thanks for the kind words! That is a great tip. Ill feature your comment in my next subscribers tips video I am compiling. Thanks!

[@pascalsperspective1943]

[@driveclean5037]

Yes, please post on the stats app. Appreciated the tips, keep ‘em coming

[@CfTesla]

Clash of Clans - Nakid Rading new video on tips out Monday. Final video on tips for now. I’ll hopefully have the Stats video out next week.

[@jorgeaaguero]

Really helpful all the tips given, I appreciate your time and efforts... In June I will receive my 3 LR cant waittttttttt

[@CfTesla]

You are welcome Jorge! Congrats on the 3!

[@lenimbery7038]

You sure do like your Safeway trips!

[@CfTesla]

They have a lot to do with me still being alive today

[@ElonAccessories]

Great tips. Telsa is full of Easter Eggs. Yeah, a cleaning cloth or a quality screen protector will save the day from fingerprints.

[@CfTesla]

Elon Accessories yes it will. I am a little bummed though on my screen protector. The one I have shows all the finger prints my screen did. Thanks for the comment

[@sergedesnoyers2222]

Yes please make one video on the apps. I have this apps for over 18 months and I do not understand all of it especially when I recharge it doesn’t indicate each time how many kWh I add to the battery and the help from the apps tech did not response to my demand to solve this issue. I hope you will. Kept the good work. I watch your video from Montreal

[@CfTesla]

Serge Desnoyers Wow Montreal! Well thanks for watching. Good news on the Stats app problem with it not registering the kWh, I had the same problem and worked with the creator of the app to find a solution so I’ll make sure and explain how to fix it in the app. My goal is to have that out later this week.

[@thenar]

Nice job, useful. Info.

[@antoinemalaprade9832]

Thanks. Tips never seen on other videos !!

[@CfTesla]

antoine malaprade right on man! Thanks for taking the time to comment! One more in the series coming Monday.

[@highbaritone]

Our 3 is in line for a wrap. Just got it DEC 23 in Australia. Very informative videos. I know nothing about the stats app. I have lots of homework to do.

[@CfTesla]

Donald Cant congrats on getting the 3. I have thought about the wrap but haven’t gone their yet. What kind of pricing are you looking at?

[@janicefair8288]

I love the tips. I need the reminders

[@CfTesla]

Hey look who it is! Well you had better watch all three of them then

[@rb28772]

While watching Hulu, KZbin, or Netflix it is cumbersome to get to the seat heating controls. It is also cumbersome to get back to the movie you were watching. I discovered that it's just easier to use the app to change the seat heating level, and leave the movie playing. The same would apply to any other controls that you can handle through the app.

[@CfTesla]

rb28772 yes this is very true thank you for the comment. Many have asked this question and this does appear to be the best solution! Cheers!

[@Ian181262]

Yes, to the stats app and Apple Watch integration 👍 Great video’s by the way, cool you mention us brits too. 😁

[@MitchelBynum]

Try tapping the wiper button multiple times or multiple times to the second detent and it should change the wiper speed without having to interact with the display.

[@CfTesla]

Mitch Bynum keep them coming man! This is Gold

[@Philipp-l5l]

Really good... again... Keep up the good videos!

[@CfTesla]

Hey thanks for the kind words! I’ll do my best...no promises on the quality 🤫.

[@reimul2]

excellent job. thank you, very useful

[@CfTesla]

reimul2 thanks for watching commenting!

[@minasmith7883]

Thanks I love/need tips!

[@carloherrmann653]

Yes i am Interested in stats review. Thxs!!!

[@CfTesla]

It's in the final stage of editing. Im new to this type of video so hopefully it is somewhat helpful. Please give me feedback. Should be out Thursday or Friday.

[@kalkydra]

Good tips! Make one for the stats app! Cheers!

[@jndias100]

First time i heard about stats app!

[@CfTesla]

Thanks for commenting! I’ll do that.

[@CfTesla]

Yes the Stats app is best I have seen out there for getting data out of your car in a mobile format.

[@badimpulses17]

I will install a big ass turbo and tune for my future Tesla Performance Y.

[@CfTesla]

if you do that it might actually fly

[@genlight1741]

Good video subject. More info on Stats app.

[@CfTesla]

Gen Light will do! Working on it this weekend. Thx for commenting

[@L33TNINJA51]

The stats app sounds cool. I would love a video on that.

[@CfTesla]

Your in luck! Just released a few days ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4qXpnxqbamtq9k

[@J05BNL]

Investigate tasker with tesla plugin. You can create your own widgets on your phone or build custom tasks for your car. For example defrost on workingdays at 8. Widget for cooling your car on your homescreen. Tasker is for android but there is an ios alternative also. Cheers

[@CfTesla]

Good tip thanks for sharing. Do you know what the alternative app is for Iphone?

[@J05BNL]

@@CfTesla You could try "automate' this seems to work with the tesla api.

[@JoelinLBK]

Most newer ICE cars have fluid transmissions. You can put your car into reverse or drive while moving. The other tips were super cool. Wish I had a Tesla lol

[@CfTesla]

Really I wasn't aware of that. When you say new how new are you referring to and at what speed can you switch up to? I have a 2018 MDX and I can't do it...well not really its clunky. Thanks for the correction and for taking the time to comment!

[@JoelinLBK]

@@CfTesla it's not recommended, and I've never tried more than like 5mph lol. To afraid of what could happen, since I couldn't afford a replacement car

[@CfTesla]

@@JoelinLBK Got ya. Ya cars are not cheap to replace.

Fareed Mirza thanks for taking the time to comment

[@herbman8]

Fantastic

[@CfTesla]

nichelous music thank you!

[@LysanderLH]

Can you please explain how to schedule charging? Our Renault Zoe allows a daily schedule to be set so we can use off-peak tariffs. Our new Model 3 just does whatever and I can’t work out how to tell it when not to charge.

[@NCYSTORE]

Hi, what even the cooler cooler kids doing is saying voice command "set temperature 60" and surprisingly whala temperature is set to 60 degrees.

[@CfTesla]

NCY STORE that all came out after this video

[@flyboypat]

The Tesla mobile app will also show the start time when you set a departure time for charging

[@CfTesla]

Pat LaVigne yep I cover that in my 11 tips video releases today. That is a good one though thanks for sharing and commenting.

[@MitchelBynum]

On an iPhone, long press the Tesla icon and it'll give you some shortcuts and also tell when the car will start charging when scheduled.

[@CfTesla]

Mitch Bynum yes thank you! I’ll give you a shout out for that in the upcoming subscriber tips video. That’s a good one

[@eduardoig17]

yes please make a video of the stats app

[@CfTesla]

eduardoig17 will do. Should be out this week

[@tulipthorn]

I'm having trouble keeping my white interior clean. I've tried baby wipes and even steam cleaning. What do you do? This is particularly for the driver's seat. I even use a white blanket on the seat when I'm wearing denim, to help prevent staining and ruboff. Thanks.

[@CfTesla]

I actually haven’t had any issue with my white seats so far, 5,509 miles. How long before you started seeing this? I also don’t wear many jeans.

[@gustavosa6692]

I see that you have 2 car seats in your model 3, is your model 3 large enough to be used as a family vehicle or is the space tight with 2 adults, 2 children and all the crap that comes with it? Do you use it on family trips? Thanks!

[@CfTesla]

Great question man! I actually have 3 car seats in there and yes it is great as long as you don't need to pack a bunch of stuff other than clothes. May need the roof rack for that. Check out this video to see how I safely put all three kids in here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6Otq5tpg6ejack

[@AbhijotSolanki]

Just a recommendation. Maybe physically cover your house number. That blurry thing doesn't seem to work that well. Actually attracts attention.

[@davidw860]

Yeah, blurring your work address and displaying your home address may not be healthy. Cool videos though.

[@billligon4005]

Why don’t you use the Voice Commands on your Model 3? And yes I want information on the STATS APP.

[@abbaspalgharwala1559]

I am going to be ordering my Tesla after the winter is over. I love the white interiors, i think they look fantastic. But i am wondering if they are easy to manage (in terms of cleanliness). Can you please make a video on that. Thanks. Love your tips and tricks so far. Keep up the good work.

[@CfTesla]

Abbas Palgharwala yep I sure can! It’s on my list of videos to make but I’ll move it up since you requested it.

[@janbrgesagmo5894]

Hi thank you for a great video. have you all ready made the third one or is it coming?

[@CfTesla]

Yep it is made and out. You should be able to find it right by this one. Let me know if you want me to paint the link. A new one is coming about subscriber tips

[@janbrgesagmo5894]

It wasn’t next to the other one, but I search it up and found it. Keep up with the videos they are really good for us newbies :-) . Getting my new Tesla Model 3 SR+ this week. And there are a lot to know. Something I should be aware of when I get it? Thanks

[@CfTesla]

@@janbrgesagmo5894 Hey congratulations man!!! We are working on an A-Z tutorial for new owners but you will probably have it figure out before that comes out lol. Any advice would be to spend time with it. Don't treat it like a normal car. This thing has a lot to offer and for you to learn. Don't be afraid of AP.

[@janbrgesagmo5894]

Cf Tesla hehe probably true. Getting the car this Thursday and based on the videos you made. There are a lot of cool things to do. One question though. Last update gives SR+ owners the satellite and traffic (live) and of course the other things the premium has? Some say no and some say yes.

[@CfTesla]

@@janbrgesagmo5894 My neighbor has the SR+ and when I was playing with his system it seemed the same as mine so I would say yes. I hope someone corrects me if I am wrong but everything I use in mine his had.

[@Ksin07]

For the first tip, what if you shift into reverse when going 5MPH+?

[@CfTesla]

Kevin Sin it will just ding at you. I have done it at 25, 50 and 70mph. Good question

[@johnschmitt8046]

Or tell it to change the Temperature. Tell it to show navigation after you clean the screen..no finger prints.

[@CfTesla]

That feature came out long after this video but yes that is now a great option.

[@aliochamarcinkowski592]

Hello. What is the app at 09/13? Thank you

[@CfTesla]

Aliocha Marcinkowski hey the app is called Stats App. It is only for IOS devises. I did a full review on the app a month ago. If you scroll down a few videos you will see it.

[@CfTesla]

Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4qXpnxqbamtq9k

[@davidjewood]

I’ve enjoyed watching this video and I haven’t even got a Tesla

[@CfTesla]

Well I am glad you are here David! Thanks for watching! Do you plan to get one someday?

[@davidjewood]

Cf Tesla oh yes I want a model 3 🚘👍🏻

[@paulcockerton4158]

I’ve seen on another thread that there is no “hard” reset for the TM3. They are both the same. Thoughts.

[@CfTesla]

Paul Cockerton well when I bought my car 2 months ago that is what I was told but I haven’t actually tried it. Thanks for brining it up I hadn’t heard that before.

[@daveturner6612]

There is a Heavy Duty hardware reset that a tech showed me. You only need to do that after changing any electronics. The Hard Reset is achieved by selecting Power Off from the menu and waiting 3 clock minutes without touching anything or opening a door. After 3 minutes when you press the brake, it starts the reboot. This clears most charge port errors. The Soft Reset is as you describe but there are no turn signals during the process.

[@CfTesla]

@@daveturner6612 some very good information thank you! Good point on the blinkers. I wonder if that will solve my issue with the car not sending charge data to my phone sometimes.

[@wchaynes1950]

Cover the stats app

[@CfTesla]

Here you got thanks for watching: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4qXpnxqbamtq9k

[@Loctran23]

When im at the car wash, and when I have to put it in neutral, i have to step on the breaks and shift into neutral. Which takes a bit longer than ice vehicles. Any tips.

[@CfTesla]

You don't have to hit the break when you switch into neutral in an ice vehicle? Also is the car wash moving your car for you why do you have to put it in neutral? My car wash I just follow the sign that says to pull forward and stop so I keep it in drive.

[@vadam59]

My tip is not to use automatic car washes

[@techfive7202]

Oh shit you did crtl, alt,delete on the tesla screen lol

[@ddh540]

Who else wants to be able to perform J-turns?

[@davis_orr]

You probably shouldn't show your physical address in your videos :)

[@CfTesla]

Davis Orr yea you are right. A few of those slipped in recently and I am working on fixing that. Thanks

[@lucasmarcilio2725]

There’s about 20 of the tips on KZbin ur a little late bro.

You should read the hundreds of comments between the three videos before posting something like this. They helped a lot of people. Besides what do I care what someone else out there did. I make videos for my subscribers.
