Pro tip: you can add an additional profile to your car and call it "Lean back". Setup the seat in a nice lean position and you will have one-touch reconfiguring while you're charging (as example)

[@5yzziD]

Wow! You're a real pro dude! 👍🏼

I have owned my Model Y for a year and still learned a few useful things from your video. Thanks!

[@CoolSilver]

You can link a profile to a keycard under locks. Click the person icon for key while in the profile you want to use. Also taping the card to console will highlight which one it is. I use this with a "service" profile that has easy entry and some the basics set to be easier to drive for ice owners.

[@DJPGB]

The share-an-address with your car feature worked on my 2020 Model S. The feature is described on page 125 of my manual. Then it stopped working after a software update. I've been reporting this repeatedly to Tesla Service for the last 18 months. They refuse to repair the feature they broke. They use the phrase "we're aware of the problem, but we have no timeline for fixing it."

[@rlevitta]

Re going home - simply tap in the navigate window and “home” and “work” appear just below if they have been set. Also, be careful with “easy entry” because if someone is sitting in the back seat behind the driver, the seat can squash the person’s legs and feet unless they get out before you do.

[@johnpoldo8817]

Chris, I believe self-parking is only available with FSD because smart summon is only available with FSD. I think you should have mentioned that because 80% of Tesla drivers don’t have FSD.

[@alexnutcasio936]

I had FSD on my 2020 Model 3 Performance. Honestly, smart summon and auto park were nothing more than a cool party trick. Used it once and that was it. Had more fun using the Easter egg holiday light shows than smart summon.

[@markevers924]

Got my Model Y in February. Love it, but - alas - no cleaning cloth.

[@CrumResearch]

Keep up the good new work! If/when you get a Cybertruck, your in-depth content is going to be the best. Looking forward to Cybertruck FSD on dirt and tight roads where FSD could use rear steering to its advantage not only for tight turn radius but also when reversing into a parking stall.

[@DirtyTesla]

And the Cybertruck can just self drive along all the brush and sticks and I won't care! :D

[@Nahte001]

I saw your short on this and gave it a go, important to note that you need to have the "hold button" option for summon turned off or the double press won't do anything.

[@aa72on]

It’s such a shame that 2023 model Y/3 will never have this :/ I use autopark like this every day multiple times a day. I have a single car garage, and due to the placement of the water heater it’s not possible to open the front doors regardless of the direction you park in. I literally would have to put my car in Neutral through the window each day and roll it by hand in and out of the garage if I had a 2023.. removing USS was such a weird decision.

[@stephenbrickwood1602]

Imagine a standard electrical outlet at bumper height for the selfparking Tesla to plug itself into the grid. Just like the home robotic vacuum cleaner can and be parked 23hrs every day trading stability and electricity with the grid. 20million EVs with big batteries is huge grid storage.

[@tommckinney1489]

Thanks for the auto park tip. At least one member of my family is going to love this 🤔

[@antoinepageau8336]

Easy Entry User tip: We have 5 driver profiles saved, three of whom are vertically challenged (short). Auto Easy Entry is best turned on for these drivers as taller drivers wont have to wait for the seat to move back when getting in.

[@bensontek]

I learned middle seat in back row headrest goes up. Never knew that. Have a M3 for three years without knowing that.

[@bsears693]

Might be worth making a note somehow regarding the new model 3 refresh's rear manual door latches. they seem to strike that perfect balance you referenced

Another Easter egg that’s very hard to see but *chefs kiss* is the fact that there are cloud reflections that move along the glass as you drive. Unfortunately the reflections do not change based on weather though that would be very cool.

[@meroller1]

Just a word of warning when you decide to set up an easy entry mode: That automatically binds all settings that are usually bound to a driver profile, automatically to a second set of settings in easy entry mode. So whatever you change while in easy entry mode, will ONLY be saved to that easy entry profile, NOT also to your normal driver profile. That has surprised many Telsa drivers, that everything they had set up while in easy entry mode, suddenly disappeared when they changed to D...

[@Fohntuuli]

I hate that feature as I have to reverse to my charging at home.. The mirrors fold just 2 seconds before it, and I have to unfold them to see where I am reversing. (snow covers the back camera as it is full winter here) I can't find where that setting "to fold mirrors at home when parking" is, so mirror folding at home-setting is a annoyance I can't get rid of

[@boomer4578]

Very helpful KZbin post. 🙏🏻

[@KPHIBYE]

I was really looking forward to using the first feature you showed off, but then realized after I bought the car that here in the EU, lawmakers require a dead man's switch for such operations which is also why the FOB initiated summon is unavailable. That was a real bummer since we park the car in a narrow garage.

[@DirtyTesla]

Yeah it's unfortunate as I feel Europe would benefit from that feature far more

[@jsjs6751]

@@jsjs6751 Summon with the app initially also didn't work and even a service tech couldn't explain why. It would get to the point where the brakes release but immeditely after that, summon would abort. Later on I found the reason. My phone was NOT registered as key since I used the FOB to unlock the car, but I used summon through the app. Turns out that this way of doing summon is not supported and once you use your phone as key it works fine.
