today we are going to talk about the basic things to know to approach your new Tesla
This video is usefull for you but also for your passenger, so Share this video with your Friends!

and if you want join us on Telegram, we are the largest tesla group in Italy
all the links are in the Bio
but now let's start
The video is quite long so i leave you here all the timestamps of every category
here you will find, first setup, charging, operating system, autopilot, updates, navigation, apps and consumptions
first thing to know is how to open the car, there are lots of methods, keycard, keyfob and mobile app,
you can use the RFID keycard to open the car, you need to place it under the left b pillar of the car
then we have the keyfob that give you when you buy a Model s or a Model x
and on Model 3 / Model y it's an optional
you can use it to open/close trunk, frunk, doors
and it's Keyless, you just need to approach the car to open it and leave to close it,
model s/3/y are the same
but the model X one is bigger becouse with that you can control all the doors
you can also keep pressed the back of the fob to open the charge port.
you can use also your mobile phone as a bluetooth key for the car
the mobile phone need to be paired first to the car and also need to have the bluetooth enabled to work properly
then you just need to press on the doorhandle and the car will open
leaving the car it will self close.
if you are worried for the security you can enable the Pin To Drive frature so whenever you want to move the car you must write the pin
this is a small note: tesla have changed the idea of the car to be on or off, if you are inside the car you just need to press the brake and put in drive / reverse
just so you know, tesla's cars have just one gear, some cars have two
this is how to select the gears:
press fully down to put in drive,
fully up for the rear (you can put rear also when you are going forward up to 5km/h)
to put in neutral you just need to keep the stock
to put in park you need to press the button on the top of the gear stock
be aware that pressing it while driving will engage the emergency brake so pay attention
when you first get in a car you will adjust the seat
every tesla have the seat controls on the door side of the bottom of the seat, there is also lombar support.
after the seats you will adjust the steering wheel and the mirrors, they will adjust via the joysticks on the steering wheel
follow these steps: enter in the top menù and create a new profile, once you have done it you can setup also the easy entry,
the easy entry will help you to enter and exit the car adjusting the seat and steering wheel,
i'm quite short so for me it's very helpfull becouse i can get easyer access to the car.
if you press the brake, the steering wheel, mirrors and seats will automatically set as the last profile you choose,
the central rear view mirror can be adjusted only via hand :-)
now, every time that you change the position of anything you will get a pop up that ask you if you want to save that change to your profile.
you can set up to 11 driving profiles
i set a lot of profiles for when i'm stuck in traffic, highway or for when i'm waiting for the charging to complete.
on model 3 and model y you will find a button to open the door, there is also a manual way to open it but it will hurt your glass, IT'S ONLY FOR EMERGENCIES!
tow let's talk about charging!
there are two types of charging, Fast charging=DC (direct current) and "Slow"charging= AC
you can ope the cherge port pressing on it, via the touchscreen or via the mobile app
don't press the charge port to close it, it will close automatically
or you can close it with the touchscreen or the mobile app.
in model 3 and model y the charge port is a CCS2 COMBO, it's maded by type 2 (UP) and CCS (DOWN)
to charge in AC you will use only the type 2 and to charge in DC you will use it all.
on model x and model s there is only the Type 2 plug that manage AC and DC charging
at the supercharger you will find two cables, CCS2 COMBO and TYPE 2
Model 3 and Model y can only be charged with the CCS2 COMBO plug, the TYPE 2 cable will fit but it will not charge
to charge to a supercharger you just need to press the button on the cable and the charge port will open, plug the cable and it will start charging,
close the charge port there is a led, it's blue when it's "talking" to the charger,
Green when it's Charging,
White is when you can unplug the cable, it can't be unplugged if the car is charging
to unlock the cable you can press on the button on the cable, use the touchscreen or use the mobile app, once the led is White you will be able to unplug the cable,
never put pressure on the cable
the red led color is going to be the unpleasant color, this mean that the charger have some problem
try changing the charger or call the number
on every charger (also tesla) there is going to be a number that you can call for support 24/7
if you are using a supercharger be sure that a payment method is linked to the car's tesla account or the supercharger will not start charging.
on tesla website you will find all the pricing /kWh in every nation, in italy it's 0,30€ / kWh
in italy since half 2019 the charging is free for all.
while charging you may hear some loud noise / bangs
it's completly normal, while charging the battery get to very high temperatures and the metallic shell make that noise
you can charge at home via the UMC (universal mobile connector)
or using a wall connector
the experience will be close to the superhcarger ones,
there is a little button on the cable, press it and it will open the charge port
plug in the cable and it's going to charge
if you are using the UMC plug it in the Shuko plug in your garage and plug the other side to the car.
if you are charging in AC you can be able to choose how much ampere the car will use
you can set it only via the touchscreen, you can also select the maximum charging level (80-90% daily and 100% only for trips)
remember also to never get under 10% of battery
when you are planning a trip the navigator will make you pass and if needed stop to a supercharger
when you are getting close to the supercharger the car will start preheating the bettery to charge faster
the charging speed can change based on temperature, battery status etc..
if you are supercharging you will see on the touchscreen the price of the charge.
to see all the charger i advice you the app called NEXTCHARGE, you can also choose some filters
so, if you want an extra security download NEXTCHARGE
now let's talk about the infotainment system!
tesla infotainment system is Debian based (Linux)
if you don't know what it is it's not important, it's an operating system used a lot for workers and also for amateur purposes,
there are a lot of settings and apps, there are a lot of videos about that
there are a lot of shortcuts,
like the one to set fast the nav to the home address
i will make a video about all shortcuts
if you are interested, SUBSCRIBE!
remember that in the settings there is always the user manual
remember also that tesla have always ready an AI voice assistant
if the infotainment system will freeze don't panic, the car will keep working
all the basic systems will always work thanks to others system always running
to restart the infotainment system remember to keep pressed the two joystick on the steering wheel until you see a white tesla logo with dark background.
it can also freeze while the autopilot is on, no panic, the autopilot is on an another system running (and it's also redundant
!)
let's talk about autopilot!
it's aviable on all teslas and on model S/X you can enable it via a little stick o the left bottom of the steering wheel, and on model 3/Y you can pull 2 times the gear stick.
in april 2020 in italy the autopilot is still in Beta
enable it on freeways paying attention and always keeping the hands on the steering wheel
when autopilot is on you will see two blue lines and a blue steering wheel rotating as the real one on the touchscreen
the car will automatically brake, acelerate and steer but pay attention becouse the steering angle is restricted so some courves will not be able to make it.
the car can make dangerous moovements caused by our vertical sign so pay attention
newest autopilot will also recognise stop sign and writes on the road but before check the laws in your state
autopilot as tesla infotainment is always updating
now let's talk about updates!
the updates can installed by yourself at home
the car is always connected via an esim that for the first year is free and then it cost 90€/yr
but to download the update (4GB) you need to connect the car to a wi-fi signal
when the download ended, you can start the update that take around 25minutes, during that time you CAN'T MOVE THE CAR
if you have a garage make sure to have the wifi connection or watch my last video
you can also use your smartphone's HotSpot but when you put in drive/reverse the wifi will disable from the car
so also if you are on a road trip you can update the infotainment
usually superchargers are far away one from the other of 150/200km
and they are all on the infotainment system of the car
when you are planning a route the system will calculate the best trip
if the trip is too long for a single charge the system will automatically calculate the stop for superhcharging and also the time to arrive
on the map you can also see the destination charging that usually are hotels / restooruants etc..
because combining the recharge time and the time to eat is the best way to eat
for trips longer than 600km i suggest to use the website AbetterRoutePlanner.com
there are also a lot of applications that link to your account tesla but pay attention, every single app connected to your car will drain the battery more when is off
to give permissons to these apps you need to give them e-mail and password of your Tesla account
if you change the password you will disconnect all of those applications
i use and suggest to use the app Tesla Stats
talking about Ev's
an electric car is the opposite of an internal combustion engine, in the city you will have a huge range but on higher speeds you will get less range
on all teslas you will find a real time graph of the consumptions of the batteries
i highly suggest to keep always the regen at the maximum becouse you will get the maximum range
well, for today it's all
these were the basics things to know to be able to use every tesla car at the moment
if you want you will find a lot of specific videos on my channel
