[@tomooo2637]

A minor, but useful is that they have increased the font size and emphasis for the information at the top of the screen. For old people like me it makes a big difference.

[@jamesallen8838]

You talking the app screen or the car display? I have trouble seeing the Display time, etc

[@tomooo2637]

@@jamesallen8838 Car display, there was a very small increase in the top fonts, like time, charge status. I wish it was a bit bigger but that small change made it enough for me. It really needs an "old man" option.

[@GXKid06]

The tire pressure came in handy when I got a slow leak but still had a full driving to do. I was able to watch it in real time very handy

[@markjmacrae]

Thanks for the great video. I’ve been really happy with the latest update, but there’s always a few things I miss so I’m grateful for this detailed breakdown

[@stephenpierz8029]

Outstanding summary! picked up a few things, really appreciate the video

[@joelmadsen2369]

Nicely done Ryan. Very helpful as always. THANKS!

[@radicalradzik]

Happy New Year Ryan! Thanks for all the great content. Still wondering how to control climate options without having to swipe up all the time to turn on key options without turning on everything. (Defogger but not A/C). Love my model y - we have similar produced vehicles (we have the 7-seat white/white). MyQ linkage and functions works great.

[@Mundzuk63]

Thanks Ryan, learned some things. I know you can move the automatic side cameras image on model 3/Y screens. I’ve been waiting for this feature for my model S. Don’t like the location right now, I think it would be much safer visually on the top center of the screen. Again, thanks for all the informative videos.

[@jmalkin55]

Love all your videos but this one was fantastic. Learned a lot!!! Thank you!

[@JohnFontenot1]

Always great information. Thanks Ryan!

[@TeufelHund]

I can confirm, the media controls for Tidal ARE there in the "card" area. Has been there since the Christmas update for both my and my father's 2022 Model Y Performances. Ryan, I was wondering seeing that you are a musician, can you please in detail go over how we should use the Equalizer to achieve the best audio quality from Tidal? You briefly showed it when showing the volume, but can you possibly create a video for us who are NOT audiophiles and don't really know the best configurations for the equalizer?

[@MichaelIsHiring]

You can actually add a 5th icon in the quick actions of the iOS app. You have to tap and hold on the far left side of the icon, then slide it to the far right of the QA menu.

[@RozeAbove]

Ha nice! This works for the Android app as well. Thanks!

[@bradyklockenga7765]

My man. Now I can have the frunk & trunk right next to each other 😂

[@molbaa]

Happy New Year! Question on the map settings. Do you know if there is an option to 'avoid freeway/highway'? Sometimes I want to navigate locally and not get on the freeway but can't seem to find if this is possible.

[@ElmerEDavis]

Excellent information, very comprehensive. Thanks!

[@welfiblablabla]

Love the low-med-high for auto a/c. Now give us the same options for windshield wipers 🙈

[@bjarneborresen6012]

Thanks for the informative video!! Love all the things I can do with this car

[@mcoschiedam]

ThankU for putting all of this out, it’s very very helpful!🙏🏿

[@samclark3879]

Good job, Ryan! I didn't think I would learn anything new. But I certainly did!

[@davidcarruthers7086]

Thanks, Ryan. I picked up a few new tips. Happy New Year.

[@suziephillips9772]

Thank you for your videos! Is there a way to have the audio volume adjust automatically based on road noise? I’m constantly turning the volume up and down when I’m getting on and off of the freeway. Thanks!

[@Kyzyl_Tuva]

Great video Ryan. Very helpful. Appreciate the work you do.

[@kbreeanimalrescuer]

This video is super helpful! Thank you!

[@yashp077]

Great video! One more thing I like is the text message reading and also you can reply back with voice command, pretty neat and very useful while driving! Also do you know how to turn on the front view on the camera? I wanted to use the front view camera when I am parking in my garage to see how close I am to the wall in front. I have 2023 model Y

[@kennykolourinc1250]

excellent video thanks for all the tips Ryan

[@nekoDan]

Thanks Ryan! I’ve had mine for two years and I learned several things from your video.

[@SANTIAGOSANCHEZ-yw3pd]

Daniel, which model do you have and has the original epa dropped down? In 15 months my M3 LR has gone from 354 to 309 at 100% charge.

[@robmedina4631]

Great video for new owners! I will be forwarding this to all my friends 😎 THANK YOU

[@thinkingaboutart1116]

Answered my question about the regenerative braking option. Also how to get a shortcut for windshield wipers. The best software explanation I've seen so for. Thanks!

[@frecklesx20]

Good job Ryan

[@circus14]

GREAT post with excellent directory listing, Ryan!

[@ArchBuck1]

Great videos as always!

[@kyreelewis7286]

Great video! I feel even more confident about my upcoming delivery

[@abrisvegas]

Excellent video. Thank you!

[@n485mp]

I always learn something new! Thanks

[@gabedestellano]

Super helpful man, cheers!!

[@mickeybenporat]

Great video! Just hope Tesla will find a solution for those missing parking sensors! My car feels so dangerous and outdated without those parking warning chimes..

[@sluggishnu]

Completely agree. It's insane they haven't prioritized this.

[@mickeybenporat]

@@sluggishnu I guess making fart sounds from far away are more important for them..

[@zamardii12]

Weird they didn't find a replacement for that functionality before removing the previous method.

[@HuyNguyen-pb5wd]

Just updated👍🏻

[@donroja]

Like, you have sensors or a warning chime, when backing, with the new update?

[@DannyWelch]

Wife and I just ordered our first Model Y and this video will be an amazing resource for getting up-to-speed quickly. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@peturhloversson3092]

I don't know if this is new but the Off road setting under Pedals and Steering is very useful when driving in snow, the car is much more stable and the rear end doesn't move sideways when you speed up.

[@stevedowler2366]

Didn't know that! I've used SlipStart but didn't think to try OffRoad. Thanks.

[@Archx69]

This got me through a snowstorm in Lake Tahoe without having to put on chains. I was very impressed with its performance in light snow although I wonder how much of it also depends on the tires you have.

[@Mmn2709]

Picking up my new Model Y this Tuesday. My first Tesla. Thanks for the tips.

[@jeffnreno5080]

Very nice and I'm sharing this video with others already.

[@cayman2010]

I was confused by car wash mode - just today. Glad you explained it. I didn’t see it go into N so I wasn’t sure what to do.

[@robchambers7206]

Great film and super informative

[@adamgelbard2048]

I just ordered the base model 3 i was wondering a couple of qs 1- is there a speed limiter i have it on my present vehicle where its set to 60mph 2- are there different amounts of regen modes i want the most regen if possible always. 3- is there a great all in one video for each setting one by one to watch while in the car to turn on or off

[@MS-hw8mv]

Excellent presentation!

[@slot9]

Very helpful!

[@dannyice1089]

This is the best Tesla video I’ve watched thanks for making this

[@mikescott58]

Good information. Especially the auto high beams. I did find what I think is a bug in this (have to figure out how to communicate this to Tesla). I don't think the high beams should activate when the front fog lights are on. A few days ago I had to drive home in heavy fog and so turned on the fog lights. Every time the high beams activated, it was a complete white-out. That could be dangerous.

[@brianblaster1]

Thanks 🙏 for taking your time on posting this video I’m sure the editing took hours , very informative. 😊

[@TheEmrickman]

Excellent thank you

[@stevedowler2366]

One thing I do often is to turn on the headlights during the day. Auto Headlights is working much better than in the past but you still have to manually set the lights on in daytime driving. I'll try the voice command for that next time. Thanks.

[@Wittstock99]

Nice vid RS!

[@ksimm1986]

Awesome stuff...thanks.

[@willytwo53072]

Excellent! Thanks.

[@nthused]

Thank you for this video. We got our Model 3 a couple of months ago and some of these features we’ve not used.

[@zaidpatel8695]

Mastering voice commands on your tesla is a MUST. Nice video, thank you.

[@marshallfelter2414]

Click, swipe, etc, Can you detail on how to get Tesla drivers to focus more on drive, reverse etc….

[@goldviper5280]

Nicely done video

[@getsivvolodymyr]

Great Video 👍

[@jetstrike12]

Only thing I would say you missed was quick controls. you can add a fifth quick control within the app nice to have. Happy New Year.

[@andyharris3084]

Worth mentioning that not all the features you mentioned are available everywhere. Oddly in the UK, for example, you can’t change the cabin overheat protection temperature, you don’t have auto brake pedal when regen is limited, to name but a few.

[@blackhawk2429]

Thanks for the tips. By the way, How do you connect Model Y to internet? Do you have to subscribe Tesla Starlink? Thanks

[@davedyer3654]

Very helpful, we don’t have the mimic Regen braking in the UK though. Live sentry mode viewing is limited to 15 mins per day and requires premium connectivity to. Many people don’t know about voice commands IME or they say it doesn’t recognise their voice, what I have found is that speaking too fast is the problem.

[@useemehere2]

Wow I discover a lot from this video and it is really very helpful for a Tesla owner.

[@EnthusiastCarHangar]

I hated the new media control at first but now I love it.

[@viju9939]

Please provide some insights on phantom drain and also on how to get out of it. Thanks

[@svenhirsch-hoffmann1997]

How do you adjust to max speed when you are on auto pilot in the model S plaid

[@pragnapatel1251]

Another great video! Any ideas of when or if KZbin music app will be supported on Tesla?

[@andrewvercillo6225]

Wow Ryan!! Apple Music!!! That’s the greatest addition ever!!! Awesome!!!

[@paulcredmond]

Thanks Ryan, this was so helpful! A noob thing for me on day one was I ended up customising everything for "Easy Entry" and not my own profile. Doh.

[@stew1755]

@ryanshaw. You mentioned car was mode. Every time I go through a car wash my black trim discolors and it’s tough to get it back to black. You take your through a car wash? Any tips? Thanks

[@larrybaker7470]

I have an iPhone and use the calendar to put all my appointments in. I found in the Tesla by clicking the time at the top of the screen it pulls up all of my appointments. You can set this to have the car navigate to each location one right after another as soon as you enter the car or you can turn off this automatic feature and select which of your appointments you want to navigate to manually.

[@brentmsdn]

I'm a new owner and you helped me a lot, thanks!

[@Michael-Gill]

The first week with my Y I just used voice commands to use everything. Then after the second week I pretty much just knew where things were. Voice commands are underrated.

[@SANTIAGOSANCHEZ-yw3pd]

I enjoyed this video and learned some things. Ryan I’ve had my model 3LR for 15 months now and from the original epa of 354 at 100% it’s down to 309 at 100% , should I be concerned? Tesla says this is normal? Frustrated in Texas….

[@TheLiiusa1982]

Thank you

[@yilu3033]

Great video as always. About that secondary brake, I have heard that it is automatically applied when you shift to P, so you don’t have to long press it to engage it. Do you think it’s true? In what circumstances do you long press the P for parking?

[@artemisfowl127]

I thought the same but i’m pretty sure you want to use your parking break on an incline

[@MikeKobb]

The long-press is the emergency parking brake. You would apply that if you for some reason lost the ability to use the regular brake pedal. It does exactly the same thing as putting the car into park. The long press is to avoid applying it by accident while above the regular parking brake threshold. This is in the manual.

[@KILLAZ1887]

By the way Ryan Shaw When you're in park the parking brake is already engaged. You'll only need to press and hold the park button when your front brakes fail

[@DaleSteadman]

Great video as always, BTW sending trips to Tesla Maps also works for Apple Maps.

[@SpearwithX]

Thank Ryan! I never knew about the set rear hatch open height limit! I always thought there should be a way to limit it. I’ve always just quickly released the open/close button before my spoiler would hit the garage door. Now, I am going to set it and forget it! 🙏🏼🤙🏼

[@munkymind]

But watch out for your head, lol. I have mine set lower so it won't hit the garage door but everyone bumps their head when they go to retrieve stuff from the trunk area.

[@cosmiclion6765]

Ryan, any clue when they’ll reset the strikes for FSD disengagement? I have 4 right now. 😢

[@michaelfinn1803]

Thank Ryan, as I type this my Tesla is updating to the parking sensors , I have learned a lot from your videos

[@kaianalmeida4420]

I lean a lot from your videos! I recently got my model y and was very disappointed to see that park assist, summon and other parking related features were not available. Apperantly (and hopefully) the will be added to the car through and update. Any guesses on when? Next update maybe?

[@AML2000]

That requires Enhanced Autopilot which is a $6,000 upgrade.

[@marksheinbaum3390]

Thanks Ryan. There's a helpful for this new Tesla owner. I tried sharing a destination from the map app on my phone. I see the destination on my Tesla's navigation screen. However, I cannot add it as a favorite. I'm able to see the pop up with the favorite star, but unable to flag it as a favorite. Am I doing something wrong?

[@loganlogan9757]

Great video

[@mheliz0]

Would it be possible to go back in time and use a normal cruise control in stead of the adaptive cruise control... I can't find this option. Is it possible?

[@Sidifan]

You sold me when I heard " Tito's Taco's" LOL Great clip.

[@cgamiga]

@1:45 other item for hiding the music mini-player card and the player controls moving to top of fullscreen music UI, is... favorite button for Slacker streaming, is ONLY visible on the fullscreen controls bar. (maybe tidal too?) Thumbs up/down are on mini but not the favorite Star.

[@nv2124]

Thanks for this Ryan! Just ordered by Model Y and waiting on delivery. Fellow Monrovian here!

[@manuelteixeira2311]

In these 2023 cars, the audio system can at last recognize audio playlists (pls or m3u)?

[@Nirmal1420]

Sharing destination from Google map to car? Holy crap that's awesome. I had this feature on mercedes but only through their app and it used to crash half the time and didn't have all destination from Google. Thanks man!

[@richards733]

Is there a way to remove the music icons: Tidal & Apple Music, since I don't use either?

[@Eddysneddy222]

Ryan - do you hear a "high pitch noise" in your Model Y while riding at cruise speeds? (70-90 km/h)

[@kennykolourinc1250]

I have been using the myQ app for quite a while without any problems. then I tried the myQ complication on my Watch it kept losing sync with my iPhone so I contacted myQ support they blamed the BT connection so I quit using it. now I have been evaluating the myQ app in the Touchscreen. since 12/18 I have had 4 fails either opening or closing the garage door. the myQ failed to open when I was parked inside the garage or on my driveway. not sure I will pay for this service if I keep having problems

[@likearock2428]

Very useful, speech a little fast for me, I have to rewind to get the info. Thank you and a happy new year.

[@forc3s646]

Auto Wiper is not good up here in cold weather (Canada) it leaves marks a lot and we end up using more windshield washer fluid! We need option to enable.
