Ordering a Tesla is super easy - you can do it from your phone in less than a minute. But the only downside of this is that it's up to you to learn everything about the car. It can be intimidating because a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y is essentially a computer on wheels. This video is the complete guide to owning and driving a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y in 2021 so you can master it in under an hour. We'll go over the following: exterior, interior & controls, touchscreen display, software, mobile app, driving, autopilot, and full self driving (FSD).

Hi Andy, I think you said you’d include a link for the radar detector but I can’t see it. Could you post it?

Went to a Tesla dealership the other week for a test drive. We were given half an hour to take it for a spin, but because it’s such a different car from anything we’re used to it took 10 minutes just getting acquainted with it before feeling comfortable enough to start driving! So much to learn, but I’m excited and looking forward to owning one!

[@rlb2444]

Excellent review. I am impressed with your vast knowledge of the Tesla 3. You make it sound so easy and intuitive to control all the functions. I suspect there is quite a learning curve but makes me want to take the next step. Great job. Thank you!

For me this is a humongous choice that must be attentive and wisely made with timing being everything. THANK YOU Andy for your professionalism and detailed video productions that I always eagerly anticipate!! And I look forward to seeing you in the next one.

5 min into this video, i learned more then the sales person did at 30 min when picking up the car. Tnx for a great instruction video

Nicely done, Andy! I have always enjoyed your Tesla vids more than any other You Tuber. Great overview for a new Tesla owner, or someone who has ordered and is awaiting delivery. I’ve been a Y owner for two months now, and do not disagree w anything you said in this video. Keep up the good work!

Excellent video on learning what the car has to offer. It should be shared with all new owners after they have had their Model 3 or Y for about two months. It is at that stage when you want to try more but aren't sure what to do. The video is especially valuable in the Covid area because it is so much harder to get Tesla help or guidance. Thanks for doing it.

[@Ob1Love]

Excellent job on this tutorial ... It solves the mystery of using each and every thing on the screen. Things like this come easy for me even at 71 years old but some folks my age have trouble using an iPhone! My step brother being one. This would be a car he could never use. I do wish they had something in front of you like a HUD because for some folks even the slightest eye movement away from the road to the right in this case could get them buried into the screen and not on the road. However auto pilot would mitigate that in this car more than any other. When I do purchase a Tesla I am going to use your link for 1000 super charger miles as your presentations are better than any of the others I have watched. Keep up the good work. Tesla should hire you!

I do not remember any other video except yours that explains in detail of the 2 scroll buttons on the steering wheel. Pushing both buttons in and holding it resets the display. That is great to know! Also you explained how to pause, rewind and fast forward music with the left button. Thank you!

[@diannewidowski5990]

Just ordered mine, its here in 5 days from ordering. Great video thank you... and I went to U of L, enjoyed seeing where you were driving! :)

[@djkevyd]

9:10 might want to mention the left scroll wheel up/down controls the audio playing at that moment. If using navigation with alerts for upcoming turns, scrolling the left wheel up/down while an alert is being read (e.g. turn left in 0.1mi, etc.) adjusts the volume of those navigation alerts and not the media that might be playing in the background. Great vid Andy, keep up the quality content!

[@Anilysttt]

The reason you don't close the "frunk" by pressing down on the logo is because over a period of time the logo will actually bend the hood.

[@sheldonjplanktonn]

Really?

[@Anilysttt]

@@sheldonjplanktonn yes. After a while of pressing on the emblem it dents the hood slightly. If you do it and remove the emblem then you'll see the dents. I'm sure you can find a video or picture of that.

I’d like to say that our Model 3 SR+ (January’20 build) trip card is micrometer accurate and in no way overstates distance traveled . Like all displayed consumption numbers, the car is science lab accurate and linear. (Discrepancies are down to moving net consumption v total consumption.) Lane keeping accuracy is spectacular. The speedometer overreads by 1 kph which is understandable. It’s a remarkable instrument.
