Customer Success Stories

I have never loved a car before I started driving my 85 Model S three years ago. (I grew up in a dealer's family and had to drive one clunker after another every six weeks). The no-pressure, 12-minute buying experience has to be experienced to be believed -- it's like buying a computer (with wheels). NOTHING HAS EVER GONE WRONG WITH MY TESLA! And the two annual test-check-ups in my home's garage were a dream. Ownership is so cheap that it's like buying a $200,000 car for half the price -- if you keep it for 5 to 7 years. Okay, that's the biggest problem with owning a Tesla. Sure, the car gets better every month with every overnight software release, but the damn hardware innovations entice most owners to buy a new one in a couple of years!

Product Tips

TIPS & TRICKS


A) STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS

  • MUTE/PAUSE: when listening to most audio sources, click left steering wheel roller button to pause and resume (or in the case of radio and some streaming services, mutes and unmutes the audio). Nice that this works regardless of what’s displayed on your left-of-speedo info display. [JoshG]
  • MIC MUTE: the left steering wheel roller button will mute and unmute the mic when on a call. [DaveVa]
  • RECENT CALLS: With a bluetooth phone connected, you can call up a list of recent calls and select one for redial without lifting your hands from the wheel. Click right-side “Menu” button on steering wheel, select the phone icon, and your recent calls will appear on the right-of-speedo info display. Right click-wheel can be used to pick and dial any entry. [JoshG]
  • IN-CALL FUNCTIONS: While on a call, clicking the right-hand “Phone” button on the steering wheel brings up a menu of choices such as hang up, mute microphone, or put the call on hold. Select from the options with the right scroll wheel. [Todd Burch]
  • SCREEN REBOOT (Main Display): Hold down the middle steering wheel buttons on both sides for a few seconds to reboot the main display. 
  • SCREEN REBOOT (Driver’s Display):Hold down the top steering wheel buttons on both sides for a few seconds to reboot the driver’s console display. [Todd Burch]
  • TAKING SCREEN SHOTS: Hold down the bottom steering wheel buttons on each side for a few moments to grab a screenshot. (Tesla service can access this. We might be able to later). [Todd Burch]
