Tesla Setting's to TURN OFF Before You Drive

[@Gjeebs]

Tesla just updated their referral program so if you use my link when you order you get $1,000 - $2,000 off depending on which model you buy: ts.la/ben56263

[@someuser7501]

@Gjeebs You skipped "Unlock on Park". You have it on but I recommend it off. As long as the child safety thing isn't on people can always open the doors from the interior. The issue is people opening the doors from the outside. This setting also applies for the trunk. If you pull over and park with this on to wait for someone a thief can run up to your trunk and do a quick open and grab.

[@therealchayd]

I personally like to leave PIN to drive turned on as an extra layer of security, so if someone steals your phone or keycard they might be able to get into the car but at least they won't be able to drive/tow it away.

[@Twoideas915]

Honestly the best feature! What’s to prevent someone from taking a phone

[@ibmsorcerer]

Well, my phone has its own security measures. The really good thing about PIN 2 drive: someone carjacks you get up out of the seat, immediately the car again requires PIN. Even with the phone in the car. Don't use swipe to open your phone.

[@1slyboy]

I also add a separate PIN to the government box.

Lane Departure Avoidance applies corrective steering to keep the car in its lane while "Emergency" Lane Departure Avoidance takes more aggressive action, automatically steering the car back into its lane if the system detects an imminent risk of leaving the lane and potentially causing a collision. I think one example of an emergency scenario might be where you are changing lanes and a car is in your blind spot, it may veer you back into your lane along with an audio warning.

[@1519Spring]

Correct! I noticed Gjeebs said this setting (if on) lets the car use the "emergency lane," which is not at all what it does.

[@williamreynolds6132]

Came here to say that. 6:50 if someone wants to hear what he says but he got it all wrong. Mine goes off at least 3-4 times a week when I’m trying to avoid a really low manhole cover by driving close to the curb. Annoying as hell but at least I know it’s coming and I’d rather have it on just in case.

I love to leave my wipers on auto. This way they randomly come on and don’t when it rains. Never tried chill mode. I’m chilling when I feel great acceration

chill mode doesn't really save anything over what you can do with your right foot.

[@authenticNL2]

​@ms3er396 it can be tricky sometimes especially in stop and go. That's when Tesla recommends using chill. I think it helps driver fatigue and a small reduction in energy usage due to its more conservative nature

[@ricinro]

A few hours ago I was on Autosteer beta (AP?)just getting off the 24 and the wipers went off, the car slowed and the steering wheel jiggled. I had my hands on the wheel and my passengers thought I was messing around.

Hi, at 4:10 to limit charging to 80 percent. I assume that is because you do not have an LFP battery? As I thought that for an LFP battery it is best to charge it to 100 percent as much as possible

[@Gjeebs]

Correct this is a performance model as I said in the video which does not have an LFP battery

[@colingenge9999]

No, with an LFP battery you should not charge to 100% “as much as possible“. You only need to charge to 100% once a week or so in order to keep the system calibrated. It’s still better to keep the battery at the lowest state of charge most of the time.

If you have a LFP battery I highly recommend you watch the Engineering Explained video on best practices for LFP battery longevity. Search KZbin for “Engineering Explained LFP battery.” The video is 18:15.

We need cruise control with absolutely zero automatic braking or lane keep warning. The phantom braking and random cruise speed adjustments are maddening, can I just set the car to 70mph and go down the road without it slamming on the brakes or deciding its better to slow down to 40mph for no reason?

[@Twoideas915]

@@Tool0GT92 they added an update

[@colingenge9999]

While in Auto Pilot I always keep my foot on the accelerator in heavy traffic and often continuously override its more cautious tendencies allowing me to maintain the distance I want to the vehicle in front. Then when I’m happy to let it take over again I stop pressing on the accelerator and simply monitor what it’s doing. Never let the dumbest but steadiest member of your driving team take 100% control and complain when it does something stupid while your brain is out of the loop. A partnership where you need to know what it cannot do.

[@Tool0GT92]

@ what’s the point of cruise if you have to leave your foot on the accelerator

[@colingenge9999]

@ AutoPilot consists of Cruise to control speed and AutoSteer. Tesla is 100% clear that you are 100% responsible; people not understanding its abilities is what causes all these senseless crashes; the worst example was the guy watching a movie prior to his well earned decaptiation. AutoPilot does 99% of the work which I use 70% of the time. Think of it as your teenage nephew with no experience but smart and fastidious to understand simple instructions. He cannot optimize car position, vehicle spacing and see dangers ahead but you can with your years of experience so why would you hand complete control over to your nephew and then yell at him when he makes a mistake. It’s a team effort where AutoPilot does 99% of the work for you. Don’t mistake your need to do you 1% and to monitor what its doing by paying MORE attention to the road not LESS which you can accomplish because you’ve been unburdened by the monotonous bits most of the time.

[@ricinro]

@@colingenge9999 , great analogy.

[@waltergroover5501]

My experience with the Tesla wipers is that they frequently do whatever it is that I want them to not be doing. Swiping and chattering on a dry windshield, refusing to wipe a very wet windshield, etc. My 2016 F150 has much better automatic wipers than my Tesla does.

[@hanzo52]

Oh, remember to turn off the wind shield wiper off every time you use cruise control. Or it will phantom wipe dust and scratch the window constantly. Also, the phantom auto brakes very often on narrow roads meeting trucks, large vehicles.

[@dougdu]

Leave it on. Cruise control (Auto pilot) uses the front camera & sometimes the glass in front of it gets dirty. When the car needs visibility it wipes.

Once I realized what was going on I was ok but it was so aggravating. I won't make that mistake again!

Tesla has easy to follow instructional videos on all these features. I’m surprised that people who would rather be told personally without the aid of visuals in a personal training that they’ll forget 99% of immediately. Tesla should show you where the videos are and leave you to train yourself so you only ask questions about things that confuse you.

[@alexanderverharen2827]

I was waiting for you to talk about the automatic blindspot camera. This feature actually can be annoying when navigating in cities and you need all the real estate to understand where you need to be - when the blindspot camera comes on, it distracts a bit. So I'd turn that off, especially when driving in busy areas where you're not familiar and need all the navigation and map visuals. But, alas, this was not a big deal to you ;-)

[@elitestar]

Obstacle aware acceleration should be off IMO. It's only useful if you're driving and not paying attention to what's in front of you. I've had several times where it incorrectly detected an object in front of me thereby preventing me from accelerating at a stop. Made it dangerous when I was trying to cross an intersection with cars going both ways.

[@AaronMcFarland]

The pin to drive I would definitely recommend you turn that on, IMO. If you accidentally leave your phone in the car (I have done that a couple of times by accident) it gives you two factor authentication for your car since they will need to have that also, without that nothing keeping them from stealing your car.

Very, very good video. Your suggestion to take your iPad ( or whatever ) into the car and "follow along" is spot on.

[@bernesto2468]

Ben, depending on where you are roadtripping, setting it to 100% might be a mistake in terms of total trip time given the way the battery charge rate slows as it approaches full. More charging stops, with shorting charging times may be optimal for total travel time. Setting at 100% might impact the route planning algorithm.

[@Gjeebs]

I was talking about when you leave your house you will want to start at 100 obviously you aren’t charging to 100% at each charger along the way

I don’t like having the “trip planner” supercharger option on. Went from Phoenix to Vegas with a stop in Kingman to use the chargers there. Because “trip planner” was on, it wanted me to stop at every charger between here and Kingman. And once I past the charger I didn’t want to use, navigation kept wanting to me to hang a U-turn to get back to that charger, instead of telling me how long to Kingman, etc.

[@platniumdr]

Been doing long road trips for years. Like you mentioned, sometimes the planner wants to do a bunch of short charges, I've found that cancelling navigation and restarting it after an 80%+ charging session will sort it out. But overall the trip planner is great for general driving, knowing that the car will never let itself get below 10% state of charge.

Daily charging to 55% or below is better than charging daily to 80% for NCA battery (M3P). I only need about 20% on daily basis and works for me.

[@ProXcaliber]

I personally keep mine at 65% daily, and also use only about 20%. But it's nice to have the slight piece of mind that if there is more traffic than expected, or I need to make an unexpected detour, that I have the slightly extra battery to get there.

[@aaronboggs5799]

Yes. I charge at home and keep my charge limit at 50% unless I am planning a longer trip. There is a really good Engineering Explained video about optimizing your NMC battery life. Search KZbin for, “Engineering Explained NMC battery life” - it is 12:53.

Anyone have a tip on climate control for the colder climate times of the year[live in the Midwest]...I know someone has suggested to switch 'Auto' off in the climate settings but that still doesn't stop windows & Windshield fogging, the defogging option consumes too much power. Thanks.

[@blazbohinc4964]

Actually, It's recommended you cycle the battery between 40-60% even on a daily basis if possible. I charge mine to 70% if it's warmer than 42F (5C) and 80% if it's colder than that. I use about 25-30% battery every day. The difference between cycling the battery between 50-80% and 40-70% is 2-3% degradation at 200k miles. I like to have a decent buffer for safety and unplanned trips and can't be bothered to constantly change my charge limit. But the general consensus is: 1. Plugging in all the time is a good thing 2. Cycling between 20-50% is much better than 50-80% even though you're using the same percentage of battery. Packs handle being discharged better than being charged. 2.5 If you've charged to 70% and then used up 20%, it's better to plug in and charge back to 70% than to leave it one more day and discharge to 30% before cycling the battery. Small cycles in the middle of the pack! 3. Keep the battery percentage close to 50% at all times, for example - charge to 70% at night, arrive to work with 55%, come home with 40% and let the car sit plugged in till it's charged again at night. 4. Don't stress a cold battery - drive in CHILL mode during winter months unless you've managed to heat it up with normal driving to where it'll give you the full regen. Then it's warm enough to safely provide the full power without strain.. 5. If you have a car plugged in over night and it's cold, preheat the battery before you drive. 30 minutes is a good estimate. 6. Don't discharge below 10% on a daily basis. 7. Don't supercharge. At all if possible. Home 11kW (3x 230V x 16A EU) or 7kW (single phase 230V x 32A US (honestly idk how you guys have it, I just assume lol) is plenty. Supercharge only for road trips and if possible, only use the bottom part of the pack - 15-70%. You don't have to do all of this, it might seem like such a chore.. but really, most of these are just set and forget and won't hinder your experience. But the difference between you doing this and not could be as much as 5-7% degradation difference at 120k miles. Tesla only claims the battery will give you at least 70% of rated capacity at 120k miles, and people usually get somewhere around 87% with the worse part of the graph in low 80s and the better part in low 90s. Packs don't age linearly and will loose the first 15% faster than the next 5%. You can delay the first 15% with gentle use.

For auto apply brakes when regen braking is limited. I personally turn that off recently due to colder weather regen is limited I don’t want the vehicle to use brakes.

Don't laugh, lots of folks wish they could have what you have brother. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Leifsawyer]

Just to let you know. Hands free trunk only works with iphone 11 and up. Since I have a z fold 6 I can't use it.

[@Gjeebs]

yes I did know that and mentioned it n another video

[@Leifsawyer]

@Gjeebs I didn't know till today. I have a 2025 model 3, and I got it Monday. Do you know why I wouldn't have smart summon list in my fsd? I live in TN it says it might not be available in my region.

[@Gjeebs]

Give it about 2 weeks for all updates to hit your vehicle

[@dr.markevers8331]

⁠@@Leifsawyeryou’ll have to drive it for a little while. It took mine a few days for auto park, full FSD, and Auto summons to show up. And see if there is an orange arrow at the top of your screen. You might need to connect to WiFi and download updates. Enjoy!

[@AaronStein]

I understand why you would want to have wipers on AUTO, but I have found my wipers turning on randomly. I've had to turn my off.

[@therealchayd]

It would have been worse a few months ago before they sort-of-fixed the rain detection algorithm, it was a perennial point of discussion in the UK Tesla owner's Facebook group

[@user_z01]

I'll tell ya the one thing I cannot figure out how to do, is make it so that I can make one of my key cards be explicitly a guest profile so that if I want someone else to drive I can just hand them that key card, and have them unlock the car and drive on purely a premade guest setting that they can fuck with all they want without messing up any of my stuff. As far as I've experienced, this doesn't work if my phone is within a 960 mile radius of the car, unless I like fully shut the Tesla app out, turn off Bluetooth, turn off my phone, and bury it in aluminum foil. Why is this not like, incredibly easy to achieve? Am I missing some part of this process?

[@MrDksmall]

😊would by nice to have hands free trunk on the Y’s

[@ProXcaliber]

It is coming on the refreshed Model Y in 2025. It isn't available for current Model Ys because they don't have the UWB support.

[@MrDksmall]

@@ProXcaliber I did find out recently I can use the Tesla app, plus Siri to open the trunk by saying “open Tesla trunk”. Very handy.

[@IgorLjevak]

removing gear swith is so stupid, i cant even imagine driving my model y without it when parking between 2 cars or when having to back and forth... living in sweden.

[@jjy1463]

Aww man. You're too smart to misspell "settings." Still, good video.

[@beachcrow]

Model Y with stalks *does* let you re-engage FSD while driving if you've turned it off by braking or steering override. A single down click on right stalk will turn it back on.

[@foobar5853]

He’s talking about switching between FSD/Autopilot/Traffic-Aware CC while driving

[@timmybui6062]

Thank you for sharing 👍

[@jeffreygo3991]

I thought on a tesla model 3 you can charge it up to 100% anytime???

[@Gjeebs]

If you have an LFP battery this is true

[@gchetail]

I think it would be nice to have a AC charge limit and a DC charge limit. So you can leave the DC at 100%.

[@ProXcaliber]

You don't always want to charge to 100% at DC, mostly because it takes more time.

[@nickd8288]

Auto wipers is the worst feature on new cars but reaches top levels of bad on Teslas as they always come back to auto each time you get back on autopilot. I always keep them off to avoid random wipes when dry which might scratch the windshield with road dust. Hopefully Tesla will find a way to let us keep auto wipers off permanently unless we activate them. Such a stupid feature on modern cars... are we lazy to the point of not wanting to select wiper speeds ourselves? 🙄

[@ScreamingEagle101st]

Do NOT turn off pin to drive Do NOT turn off pin for glovebox

[@MarvKirsch]

The only disagreement I have is with the "Auto Wipers". WHY? Because I don't like them coming on during bright sunshine :-) As a matter of fact, that is my on complaint with my Tesla

[@fifthcircle1]

As soon as you put the wipers on auto, I knew I didn't need to watch anymore. Tesla auto wipers are annoying as hell! 😆

[@DerAusreiter]

Thank you

[@Gjeebs]

You're welcome

[@rbal848]

Wrong. You may press right button to back into FSD while driving.

[@Thisischris86]

You know what has bothered me most with Tesla? Is the weakening of regenerative braking. I swear it was a lot stronger when i first got it in 2021. If it’s to ease in people converting to EVs i hate it. It was one of the best things about the car and they took away adjusting the strength.

[@Gjeebs]

yea I agree. in my model 3 performance I use the brakes more. in my 2020 it feels stronger and you can adjust it

[@R3B3Lnet]

I heard some cars come with an actual AM/FM radio! Can you imagine??

[@mikev4089]

I love your hair! Does your barber use a blender?

Standby mode is a battery killer for sure.

[@itsjustderek]

HOLD UP…I DIDNT KNOW FLAMINGOS HAVE APOSABLE THUMBS AND DRIVE A TESLA 😂

[@stevet7777]

Wipers on automatic are too erratic, so I use the voice cmd to "wipers on low" . Who the hell needs to open glove box while driving?

[@billm47645]

You’re a celebrity now. You can get your clothing from Kyle Conner and your hair and makeup from The Savagegeese.

[@walterwhite1]

THANKS DUDER

[@flyentity]

Auto shift is convenient? So is using stalks. Teslas ever silliest decision was to remove them.

[@dr.markevers8331]

Nah. It took me about 5 minutes to figure it out.

[@khaleefax9553]

*Why the heck do you use your MIDDLE FINGER to start with when pointing to a new feature .... it looks so horrible.*

[@shunjohn3567]

Not true chill modes do nothing for saving your battery at all

[@Gjeebs]

Reduces throttle response and uses way less power on acceleration which uses less energy

[@shunjohn3567]

@Gjeebs no sorry I have a Tesla and it doesn't

[@lharris828]

This charging suggestion is *not* what Tesla recommends.

[@lharris828]

Plural of setting is settings.

[@lilgshock07]

The windshield wipers only work when it’s not raining go figure.

[@grantguy8933]

Back to tesla. ❤. Stop lucid or rivian.

[@ilovepinktacos]

You hair looks good mane’

[@HeathRS]

Why does everyone like the turn signal cancel on lane change? It has the 3 signal flash on the tap, correct? Or is it different than the stalks on the last car. I heard this with the stalk cars. It makes me think no one understands how turn signal controls work on most cars.

[@foobar5853]

Because it’s convenient, you don’t need to worry about how much pressure you’re applying to the stalk. Also, these new Teslas don’t have stalks

[@dr.markevers8331]

It turns off the turn signal when you finish switching lanes. The button can be double tapped to turn off the signal too. Seriously, not having stalks isn’t a big deal.

[@DeniiMas]

Driver lock!!!! I love in Houston Donte Texas we all us that😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Hdog56-o1f]

[@1slyboy]

I turn off the auto shift - I prefer explicit predictable actions.

[@xghostyxjokerx]

No rain and wipers turn on auto... smear the 🐛 smh

[@brentpowell3967]

Plus 50%. Slow down Terry Labonte.

[@ProXcaliber]

It adjusts accordingly, doesn't always go that fast.
