What Tesla Is Hiding From You In Plain Sight!

[@frozencanuck3521]

Your turning signal tip is gold! The number of times I’ve tried to turn off the signal only to have the opposite turn signal turn on is more than I’d like to admit. Thanks!! ❤️

[@Y_S_I_Thompson]

When in autopilot and driving below about 25 MPH. The time between warnings to apply force to the wheel is about 2 min. When driving above 25 MPH the pause between warnings is 30 seconds.

[@Kris-qb4jk]

If you hold down on the fan icon (model 3) on the menu bar it till turn the AC off or on. No need to swipe up.

[@ItsKimJava]

This is fantastic!

[@wdbldr67]

If you tap the climate Temperature icon when the bar comes up rather than peck you can tap a location for more or less heat/cold etc or just slide. don't necessarily have to peck at the arrows.

[@LeglessWonder]

Same 🤣

[@michaelrbodner]

Another hidden old Model 3 logo is under the rear seats. I had them pulled when getting my charge port replaced and noticed it. Tapping on the speed limit won't necessarily make you go the speed limit. For instance, I have my autopilot setting set to +10 MPH relative speed, so tapping speed limit will make the car go 10 MPH over the speed limit. PS ... great video as always!

[@ItsKimJava]

True we set ours to 0 mph offset (which is how the car is by default).

[@Ussr0312]

Couldn’t they get technically get sued if adidas wanted to sue for it?

[@michaelrbodner]

I suppose anything is possible, but I doubt it

[@mr.perfect289]

But that's not exactly how adidas logo looks like, so that can't sue !!

[@chrisschneider7609]

these are standard grips and on other cars.

[@JaeTheDev]

I took delivery of my 2020 TM3 SR+ a month ago today. Ill never own an ICE vehicle again. These little secrets and tips make it that much better! Great video!

"This honeycomb design was inspired by NASA. " So not honey bees?

The “hidden symbols” are grips

[@Cwills777]

Picking up my Model 3 next week. Been waiting since 4/2/16! Wanted to wait for dual motor. Sooooo exciting! 62 years old and very frugal. Prior to the Model 3 the most I have ever spent on a car is around $28k. My Model 3 is going to cost around $59k and I feel like I’m getting a good deal! For a guy like me that’s crazy talk! Love your channel!

[@lightbox8019]

Chris Lee M3? I think that name is already taken.

[@foam27]

No, a good deal would have been a P90DL Model S for $73k ;)

[@LewdCustomer]

Me too, old timer. I always bought 10-15 year old Toyos and paid cash. Saving for a Tesla now.

[@cowdesigner]

Here's a hidden tip I found very useful...tap on the album art thumbnail on the music panel in order to toggle through the different states / openings of the music panel. You can also swipe up or down the music icon (in the menu bar) to swipe through the music panel sizes. Enjoy!

[@kararalrefee6919]

2:26 I'm sure that's just for grip

[@ConstantlyRepeatingMyself]

Exactly lol!

[@silverdc5]

lol

[@ethantea360]

I mean obviously but it's in the same "font"

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Good tips. To start the software update immediately, just tap the countdown numbers once. The right scrollwheel can be used to adjust the speed up or down. if you spin the scrollwheel quickly it increases or decreases the speed by 5. Spin it slowly to change by 1.

[@sbellaharris]

How is Adidas allowed to patent freaking 3 stripes? Wtf!

[@jamespaul2587]

I know, right? What a missed opportunity for Adidas, they could have partnered on a sports interior and exterior appearance package, with celebrity endorsements from Tiger Woods and others... folding clubs for the frunk, anyone? 🙂

[@desertflyer5123]

It is a trademark, not a patent. A trademark is a symbol or other device (a sequence of tones, a color etc.) that identifies the source of the goods. Golden arches, pink insulation or, yes, 3 stylized stripes are all protectable if used as a trademark. While it is probably unlikely that anyone would confuse the source of a Tesla with the source of an Adidas shoe, the fact that the Adidas mark is “famous” gives them broader rights to prevent “dilution” of the value of their mark. I hope that answers your question.

[@joscaca]

The Adidas stripes are never horizontal. So I’m surprised the lawsuit had merit. Tesla still has the 3 horizontal stripes in their Logo.

[@Horsedogz]

@@joscaca Realize my mistake (incase you still got a notif for my last comment). It's still really dumb that Adidas would claim that, as I don't think most people would associate that design with them anyways

[@Y_S_I_Thompson]

When you are driving in autopilot hands free and the car tells you to put pressure on the steering wheel, you can just turn either knob (volume or speed control) and then continue with your hands off the wheel.

[@ItsKimJava]

Brilliant.

[@christopherrobertson7267]

My Model S arrived last Thursday! In love with the car. Thanks for all your videos

If you hold down your finger on the badge icon on the hood for 35 seconds, your finger will turn red.

[@potumuthu]

If ever the charger gets stuck (happens rarely) and soft release from the display doesn't work, then there is a latch in the trunk you can pull...hard release. Just in case you can't reach Tesla.

[@jeffnreno5080]

Excellent tips! Some I knew but not all so now I have even more things to try out on my car. Keep these videos coming as they are always great. Make sure and keep sharing family road trips too.

[@robertmcdonnold3038]

Kind of a stretch with the 3 thing. On the grocery hooks, it's to keep your finger from slipping. I have it on my ice car.

[@venitadavis2362]

Thanks so much for sharing! I've had my 3 for 8 months now and didn't know some of these.

[@cepaposible]

The honeycomb design inspired by nature and bees before NASA ;-) Actually I enjoy looking for honeycomb designs in many machines and electronics, plastic and metal alike.

[@ItsKimJava]

Touché

[@Ussr0312]

It reminded me of Lamborghini at first because they use a similar design in the interior

[@annakeye]

*+cepaposible* I immediately thought of that and ™Nissan/Datsun who incorporated that design in the 1980s.

[@eccomz]

I'm skeptical about the 3 lines. Those are for grip on your finger to open what ever is its covering and are on many many items. My BMW 3 series has it as well. If you can find on model s or x differently, then you might have found something.

[@mckeel7728]

I’ve not been an advocate of ev’s of late, but I sense that the Tesla is going to be the National, if not global, trend setter for new vehicle technologies. The trip range & charging times are within the reach of most people’s daily routines. This could be another “Henry Ford” moment!

[@dubs2171]

Im pre-ordering the Y (White on White) this year. Rear wheel long range. Don’t need AWD in GA

[@GeorgeMassalas]

Very entertaining ~ your family is adorable, Kim. Congrats on all your success and those 2 New Tesla's you're driving [PLUS one more coming soon]! Here's wishing you and your family all the very best throughout the year.

[@ItsKimJava]

Ahh thanks George!

[@paulroman556]

Thanks Kim for your Hidden updates and you and your Family are special in providing these as well.

[@marktomlinson4953]

Did you notice that a right-swipe over the apps icon brings up whatever was opened last? Haven't tried it with everything, but I know it works with the phone and the calendar. So, if checking my calendar, I always switch to the phone before closing the apps. That way I can swipe right to open the phone easily. Likewise, left-swipe over the apps icon appears to close whatever app is open.

[@ryandevoll1633]

Love these! Didn’t know of most of them!! So cool!!

[@erictoth6571]

The grocery hooks, and the child locks are grips

[@benbranford5218]

they are but they gave it the clear old logo design at the ends

[@fluerasandrei9109]

I don't know about you but I have a Tesla Model S and in the morning it automatically sets destination to work and at night to home..it knows that everyday I go to work and home

[@CarswithNash]

Speeding on camera... I never took you for such a rebel Kim!🤣

[@stevehearst5870]

Perfect short review. Thank you!

[@gpottsr]

Regarding the three horizontal lines having been trademarked by someone other than Tesla, I think that could be easily contested since the three horizontal lines are the Chinese character for the number 3.

[@josephsalazar6428]

Awwwe how cute, you let your Nissan Leaf be in the intro roll

[@narithshan]

I love tesla, I suppose to get my m3 this week. But they sold my car to other person, they said they can not hold the car for me for more than 7 days. I went to visit my family in CT for 2 weeks.I feel bad that I can wait the car more than 3 months, and when the car arrived they can't keep the car for me. They put a new Oder for me. And I hope I can get it before the end of the year.

[@ashengarcia9810]

You have a lot of informational videos, thank you! What kind of tints you ja e on your teslas? I'm interested in putting them on mine. Thank you.

[@pvitale]

I watch a lot of these and thought I knew most of them but I learned a lot of new things. Thanks.

[@NOT_MOUNT_7]

Is the 1000 free supercharger miles for brand new cars only? Or can be used on used vehicle from private garage rather than Tesla directly?

[@jamjop]

I forget how much I like your seats! I really like the perforated material and design!! Keep up the good work!!

[@wil6614]

I did not know about the triple tap to speed up count down on the updates! Thanks so much! Those 2 minutes feel like an eternity

[@tim_marshall]

With the music window you can slide it down so only the art appears and gives you more nav map or allows you to have three windows open (e.g. music, phone, nav) with the over lay. Cheers.

[@truckerallister9080]

sorry but that is on almost all things that indicate you where to press, and that in not a Design, that's to make the structure stronger and less sound coming from it, if it would be just flat. you can find them in other vehicles and Structures.

[@gwinanthony1985]

Love your videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@ScottWallace5]

Super cool tips! Always enjoy these tips and tricks videos like this one. Good work!

[@caryandrae9952]

those hidden logos are likely the existing stock they had or molds which are already made for the part which did not need to change as they can claim it as merely a design for function instead of making a new mold just for those parts.

[@melvinfreeman4040]

I wondered what to do, if your Tesla is driving on automatic and it goes over the posted speed limit. I’m truly glad she answered that question. Pretty interesting video 👍🏾🇺🇸😀!!

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

You can also use the right scroll wheel to adjust the speed up or down. I tend to use that the most. Quick spins change the speed by 5 mph. Slow spins by 1 mph.

[@weakpig]

there needs to be a universal publicly accessible list for all these hidden gems and features!

[@bigdream_dreambig]

5:36 That turn signal note is an interesting one. I had trouble with them when I took a test drive because my current car keeps the shaft "off-center" while the signal is active. I assumed I'd get used to the difference eventually, but it's good to know there's another option, too.

[@haselhofler]

Now that I have a Tesla, I have to watch all those vids again because I forgot everything :D

[@omf2491]

LOL I thought that knocking sound was in my house until I paused the video and realized it was the video.

[@Frank_W.]

Thanks for sharing all the tips and keep them coming! Excellent video!

[@garn5341]

Thanks, that was just a nice fun/informative video.

[@ChadChelius]

The 3 stripes are also in the seat. You can see it in the video.

[@ronaldxyz1001]

I thought the honeycomb in the frunk lid was not so much part of the crumple zone but rather to shock absorb pedestrians so they survive in an accident. But maybe I remember this wrongly

[@Ussr0312]

ronaldxyz1001 it reminded me of a Lamborghini, they use a lot of the hexagons in the interior.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

It probably does both: protect pedestrians and act as a crumple zone for the car in a crash.

[@TheTurpin1234]

That explanation makes much more sense. The hood would have to be welded or latched along the sides for it to really be a part of the crumple zone.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@TheTurpin1234 The hood is latched at the front, but yes, it's not a major crash structure like the horizontal tubes attached to the chassis and running to the front of the car on the sides of the frunk.

[@68air]

0:38 is not only a candlestick phone but a Roycroft hand hammered copper phone worth about 4000 bucks!

[@asherlopezsioson8927]

The only missing in your TESLA collection is the roadster and the semi truck

[@jakevinton2075]

The 3 lines aren't for the model 3 they are grips so you can feel it when it is dark

[@greghinners]

The three hamger lines are not the original logo, it's the indicator to show you where to push to use the item.

[@ItsKimJava]

Of course, they also double as the logo. This is widely known in the Tesla community.

[@nick_merchant]

As always very informative. I already knew a few of these features but I learned some more in this video. Please, keep up the good work. And from now on I will answer my phone with Ahoy-hoy and see how those telemarketers respond.

[@gregontesla3605]

Good job on the video, thanks for pointing these out. Very cool.

[@austinstroot9910]

Look at the seat back on the 3. 3 horizontal bars flared up where your back sits! Bam!

[@SuperSxeMatt]

I love that sliver color more than the others

[@tomerik866]

Any method to tap somewhere to get further in front of the que at tesla service center? I need it!

[@giannamarazza2140]

You should let your battery get pretty low so when you got to charge while on a trip it will put more power in faster

[@Tagish_Yukon]

I'm sure someone else has already mentioned it but your front seats also have the ``hidden`3/E logo in the center stitching :) Great Videos Kim.

[@jay6817]

Am so Jelly. They're luxury cars here in Aus. No rebates. Minimal charging stations, and many klm's.

Dear @Like Tesla, you missed the original (three) sign that looks like thee parallel lines that's on your seats. Look closely at your seats.

[@ItsKimJava]

Good catch but that was an aftermarket upgrade we added to the car. They do not come with those seats. 😊

[@CodZombieGamer]

The "3 logo" is a design you can find in almost any car (its not a logo on other cars) and its not a hidden logo on the tesla

[@peters616]

The accessory puddle lights project the logo on the floor when the door is open.

[@samsungiphone]

I've been watching your videos. Nice to know the hidden tricks and tips. But I've never heard you mention about auto park in reverse. Double up on reverse it will auto park for you. Maybe you can hold it up on reverse for a few seconds but haven't tried it out yet. Something you can play around with. Also havent tried auto park parking forward. Maybe try double tap to drive and it might do auto park. Don't know. Havent tried.

[@eccomz]

Also, you do realize that the models are s, x, 3, y, which he intended to name SEXY, but E did not get name approved and opted for 3, and wanted the 3 lines to look like the E.

[@TheOgPudg]

Ford already had the name

Please let me know as I'm sure others will find this question of interest. Thank you. hugs

Model X would be the best option for him.

[@kirknason1234]

[@oaotr4993]

Yall are awesome. I love that rainbow charging.

[@Neptunine...]

So Adidas threatened to sue Tesla for using 3 stripes in stead of the number 3, but didn't threaten to sue them for using 3 stripes instead of an E in the Tesla logo? (The 3 striped 3 logo for the Model 3 is the same as the E in the Tesla logo.) Makes sense to me!
