NEW 2024 Tesla Model 3/Y Tips & Tricks | The Best New Features

[@dcellisesq]

I purchased a new Model 3 recently. I've watched several videos for new owners but this is hands-down the very best. I'll be watching it several more times. Thanks Ryan.

[@TrevelyanOO6]

An important tip for M3H owners, is to know the non screen PRND controls are the buttons on the ceiling above the centre mirror. These are easy to miss because they don’t light up unless touch them. However they are critical to be able to drive the car when the screen is unavailable. Speaking of which, you can reboot the centre screen at any time by holding down both the left and right scroll wheel. I mostly do this when the car loses internet connectivity

[@adinaharper3805]

I’m a 3rd day new owner and this video is so invaluable. Thank you! 🙏

[@robertw236]

I have used my wife's new model 3 and found out things here I did not know before. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@xray12275]

You can also activate N by hitting the manual gear button up above the mirror. If you push the plastic above the mirror the different gears will appear. Also works great if your screen freezes.

[@JohnCochraneJr]

Just got my new Model 3 this week and I can’t tell you how helpful your video was. Thank you so much.

[@gordontyler9317]

This is a super video and I’m going to save it for friends that just got the first Tesla. One thing you sort of missed was about how the schedules are location based. I have a 2018 Model 3 AWD and failed to notice this myself for a while. It means you can set your Tesla to precondition before you leave for work at home and separately for when you leave for home at work. It’s an awesome feature for those of us who live in colder climates.

I’ve had my Model 3 for about 4 months and this video showed a lot of things I was not aware of. Thanks!

[@Andi69155]

Hi. Nice Video. I’m a little confused. Your car seems to have the “advanced autopilot” because normally the automatic lane change is an additional feature which is not included in the standard autopilot could you maybe check this? 🙏

[@zalrawi80]

Your video is incredibly informative and offers a wealth of essential tips for first-time Tesla drivers. I’m planning to get my first Tesla model 3 soon.

[@cellman1829]

I have the refreshed M3 LR and I absolutely love my car. I've had it since March no issues. Puts a smile on my face every time I get to drive it

[@Paul-ow9dd]

Love mine as well. Had since April. Just have to be aware of the Lowish clearance using some driveways and some speed humps. Great software and regular updates, even though I’ve never had an issue that needed fixing. But love all the tweaks and additions they include with many updates.

[@torchlord11]

This was helpful, thanks. I could see some additions or a voice commands episode. I set up my other USB stick I bought to be a music folder by having two partitions one for Tesladrive and a folder Teslacam then another for Media. and then I use the voice command "Open USB Stick" which allows access to all the songs on my media partition.

[@quedokid]

Option that would be great, the ability to expand the turn signal POP-UP WINDOW to full screen size. Also, if the flashing red bar for a lane change obstruction was larger, like having the red flash across the entire turn signal window, not just the thin red bar at the side. Both would enhance safety, and be nice additions.

[@mbvillacorta]

[@steveb2346]

Very informative and well done! New 2024 M3 owner. My biggest complaint is the phantom-braking with Traffic-Aware Cruise Control. 19:11 It is so bad at times my wife makes me turn cruise control off. It only takes one sudden braking to jar the occupants!

[@jpflip]

Very good informations thanks! I am driving the model 3 2024 since august and love it.... A question: I configured the left scroll wheel to record a video from the cameras... How do I transfer a video to my computer for example.. Take the usb stick out is the only option? It is so difficult to reach it with my big hands LOL!!!

[@Dlevin817]

Just took delivery of my first Tesla (model Y LR AWD).This video was an absolutely amazing help. Thank you! I especially liked the IOS shortcut!

[@andresrgarcia]

The hidden release on rear doors is ideal so that children are safe. Otherwise they would pull the release over riding child safety locks.

[@kiloy1006]

What's wrong with traditional door?

[@bobbydeisch7436]

Ryan, Thank you for this. I know there are videos out there that explain features and how to. But they seem to be dated. I have followed Tesla for years but never driven one. This was great for those of us that would like to get in and just go. most how to videos forget that this driving experience is still new or foreign to the grater population. one request for your next video is to point or circle the screen when you say "the temp will increase or decrease" I'm not sure where to look on that giant screen when you say that. Keep up the great work!!

[@DoriaFilipe]

Can you have Bluetooth audio on the back and audio from the main screen at the same time?

[@billlyl3725]

You know, you’re pretty good at this. 😮. Thank you

[@williambain6200]

Ryan, great video. When trip planning, I’d like to see all superchargers on my route and then decide which ones to stop at. Alternatively, I’d like to specify the battery percentage that triggers a supercharger. We much prefer 35% to 20% for example. Why is this so difficult to do? Thanks!

[@pawefiett2468]

I'm currenlty considering getting an electric family car and the prefection of the Tesla's infotainment keeps any opponents far behind on my list!

[@Fumbiii16]

Get the Kia ev9 or the x5 or Lexus. Don’t get a model 3 bc that’s what I have and it’s cool but not for a family.

[@dmiannay]

The Tesla Model Y refresh coming soon is very similar to the Model 3 but has a bit larger interior. May work better for your family. Lots of referral codes around as well for $1000 off, so look for one when you buy.

[@snBhav]

I am a Tesla owner for over an year. While the software features are cool it generally has an inferior build quality and suspension compared to other luxury brands. I feel like I paid a lot only for Tech and driving (auto steer/ auto pilot) comfort but the car feel itself

[@jacobheinz8236]

The tech is important to me esp FSD and autopilot. Don’t think any other car manufacturers have this level of tech. The car actually improves after the day you own it, other cars stay basically as is. Think carefully b4 going for others. Model Y may suit family better because of its height n slightly roomier.

[@selwynarnold3172]

It’s going to sound cliche but the model Y Long Range is really the winning combo. Better than Kia and other manufacturers. Better, performance, reliability, storage, infotainment, charging network, fsd.

[@timothyvdwal]

Hi Ryan, is the sentry mode recordings preview exclusive to the Model 3? Or is it a setting? I own a Model Y for a little over a month, but this feature does not appear in the Tesla app on my iPhone. However, I can view the camera's live in the app. Another great and informative video! Keep it up!

[@ScenicLensNH]

I like the hold down scroll wheel tip. Would be good if there were multiple options like hold down, double click, triple click to have multiple options available

The model Y being built now are 2025 model year…do they have the ambient lights or is that just on the model 3?

[@larrytornetta9764]

Front and rear window defogger? Soft or hard brake regeneration? Voice commands instead of touchscreen?

[@michaelwittman1935]

When you first enter your car the screen is split between your car and your navigation screen. Is there a way to remove the default navigation to just the full car as I dont use navigation 90% of the time, my commute never changes so I find it silly it has to always be swiped right to get rid of it each and every drive. Thoughts?

[@adamgaisser1875]

I have had my 2024 model Y for 3 months and find it the most difficult car to park. Every time you park the system tells you Parking sensors degraded. Great message to get on a brand new car. I notice Ryan never talks about the lack of parking sensors and how much it sucks. Lastly music sounds great in my model Y. It is too bad they force you to use a streaming service for your music which then requires enhanced connectivity which has a monthly fee. I just wish I could control my bluetooth music through the cars system like every other car in the world.

[@PositivePersistence]

You should check in with a service center- I got a model y 24 AWD (w/FSD) in May and I have no issues parking or with the cameras being degraded- and the rare times I do see a message of the cameras being degraded (think of inclement weather and certain direct sun issues) the car still handles FSD and park assist/auto park very well.

[@spooler24]

I have no issue with controlling my Model Ys music through Bluetooth. I will be honest, I do like the premium connectivity that allows you to use your music app through the cars entertainment system.. Fun fact, use the wifi from your phone instead of the premium connectivity offered for your car...

[@rogojr]

I own a 2022 M3LR and would love to get acceleration boost upgrade. Can you recommend how I can get the points I need on Tesla app to get this feature?

Lift gate opening adjustment should for sure be the first thing a new owner should adjust on a model Y. It can hit even the tallest garage doors. It opens really high. It’s why you see so many dented model Y hatches in Irvine. 😅

How much of this applies to the Model X? Would love to see a Model X equivalent video.

[@Pustul]

22:43 actually navigate on autopilot is also available with enhanced autopilot hence why it is a separate option from FSD.

[@josephclemson1743]

7:55 you can also change scroll wheel function by pressing left once it comes up.

[@TeNgaere]

What it desperately needs is CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT whether you are in reverse or not. I don't understand why they haven't added it. 😢Every other non tesla car I have had has had it. Come on Tesla, install this in the next update. 😊

The auto steering is nice idea, but where I am in the UK the roads are so badly degraded where the markings are too faint for the cameras to pick up, it just can't work here. My Tesla violently swerved across the lane into an oncoming motorcyclist, forcing me to intervene. Fortunately, I do like driving anyway so it's not a bother to never use it again.

[@abbcc555]

is there a dark mode in the screen?

I wish more people talked about the suspension and how how the ride feels. I’ve heard that it’s stiff and uncomfortable

[@CTB1318]

I transitioned from a 2018 Mazda 3 to a 2024 MYP about a week ago. I absolutely loved every aspect of my Mazda so I may be biased towards a bit of a stiffer suspension. But man that MYP is like butter on the road and is still tons of fun to drive. I prefer MYP suspension over my wife’s Kia Sportage as well.

[@charleslaferriere2282]

3:20 I think they made it less obvious in the back so it's not used by accident. Almost everyone that got in my model 3 wanted to pull the manual handle of the passenger side to open the door instead of pushing the button for it. I had to explain it when someone was trying to reach that handle but I can't really do that for the passengers in the back. I'm glad the manual way to open the door is hidden in the back so I know my passengers wont use it all the time and dammage the windows or the roof sealing

[@bflying]

You can also go into neutral or any gear using the backup gear shifter in the headliner between the front upper lights. Press the plastic on either side of the flasher button to illuminate the gear buttons.

[@PositivePersistence]

Note- pre Juniper ModelY this is not an option

[@johnm2879]

When is the 2 coming out??

[@blurglide]

I wish it had a feature to FINISH charging at a particular time, and it'll start whenever it needs to to hit that target. This would reduce the time the battery spends at a high state of charge.

[@blanejr1]

Uuuuuuuh....that is a feature. Open the app, go to Schedule, Charging, Set a Charging Schedule and put in what time you want it to finish. You also pick what day's you'd like it to do that too.

[@bflying]

@@blanejr1 But remember to not add a start time so it will estimate the time needed to finish at your chosen time. I have two Teslas charging in the garage, so I just set one of them to finish at 3 AM and one to finish at 7 AM. It works perfectly.

[@blurglide]

@@blanejr1 Really? I plug it in when I get home at 5:30. I want it to charge between 10 PM and 5 AM because that's when I get off-peak rates, but I'd like it to FINISH charging at 5 AM whether I'm adding 5% charge or 90% charge. Right now, I believe it'll start charging at 10 PM even if it only needs 5%.

[@IdiocracySpace]

I test drove a 2024 M3 and when I got back into my 2018 MP3 I was surprised I didn’t notice a significant difference. The refresh is a little quieter, slightly smoother, and has ambient lights - but still no auto open/close frunk. So if anyone is looking for a first Tesla or commuter just buy a used 3 or Y because they depreciate 25-50%. Meanwhile it is essentially 95% same experience especially with all the software updates. It’s like the new Corolla. Even at 65k miles, the battery life, charging, and wear is not an issue. In fact I’d be less stressed about door dings and curb rash if a used Tesla had them already because they will 100% get them anyway 😅

[@IdiocracySpace]

For comparison we also have a 2023 MXP and we don’t use the walk up frunk and trunk. Really unnecessary since they always opened walking around the Tesla in the garage. Same with the electronic doors - we don’t use auto open but auto close is great along with screen controlled open/close doors only on X. Still no electronic open close frunk which is really really lame. Lastly keep in mind the new refresh Teslas don’t have stalks which might be an issue for elderly or newer drivers.

[@IdiocracySpace]

PSA - FSD is not worth any cost and there’s no refund. No one in my family likes the way FSD drives on city streets - not even our dogs 😂. FSD annoyingly changes lanes on the freeway even when you don’t want it to. Free autopilot doesn’t do that so it is all you need.

[@torchlord11]

@@IdiocracySpace I was not sure about doing it either so I didn't buy it till I tried the first month, and yeah didn't care how it always stopped behind the stop signs and then crept out, took forever to make a decision (sometimes) likely do to whether it had a clear view down the street. I still believe they should have cameras up in front of the tires pointing down the streets on a 4 way stop. I never tried the FSD when it rolled through stops from prior software before NIHTSA complained about it so it could have been better back then.
