Tips & Tricks

Things we figured out so you don't have to dig through Reddit at midnight. You're welcome.

• Cabin

  Use Sentry Mode & Dashcam

  Catch door-dingers and hit-and-runs on camera. Your car's already watching—might as well get the receipts.

• Charging

  Charging at Home

  80% is plenty for daily use. Your battery (and your bill) will thank you. Save 100% for road trips.

• Driving

  One-Pedal Driving (Regen)

  Lift your foot and the car slows down. You get range back. Brake pedal? Optional. It's not a bug—it's a feature.

• Entertainment

  Save Sites in the Tesla Browser

  Bookmark the good stuff so you're not pecking URLs on a touchscreen at a red light. We're not animals.

• Charging

  Navigate to Superchargers to Precondition

  Tell the car where you're charging so it heats the battery on the way. Cold battery = slow charge. You're not waiting 45 minutes by choice.

• Cabin

  Phone as Key

  Walk up, get in, drive. No fob, no digging for a card. Your phone is the key. Just don't leave it in the car.
