Tesla Model S - Official Walkthrough HD

Congratulations on purchasing your own Tesla Model S. At Tesla, we're very excited to get you on the road before you do. We want to get you started on the right foot with just a couple of the car's most important features. Using the Model S key, we will do an overview of all the openings and trunk space of the car and then of course we will move on to the loading. We'll show you how to set it up at home. Let's start with the key. Right in front there is a Tesla logo and there are three buttons hidden at the top and the first third around the windshield is for the front trunk or the front and to open it all you need to do is click twice, then there is a Trunk button is about 2/3 of the way back and two clicks will open the trunk or, if you have the Technology Package, the automatic rear liftgate will open fully.

You can press it once to interrupt that and two clicks will close it. Again with that Tech Package there is a button on the roof to unlock or lock the doors, press it twice to unlock and it will present the door handles or if you have the Tech Package you can enable automatic presentation of the door handles doors for you to just walk to the car present themselves and you can get in, you can close it with a single click and you can also press and hold to lower all the windows since before we opened the frun with a key, all we have to do is lift it up , you can also open it from the touch screen and there is a hidden button down here, a small one that glows in the dark, in case someone decides to hide inside the trunk, there is 5.3 cubic feet of space, so there is plenty of room for your suitcases in the front and then.

There is also windshield washer fluid that you can fill up if you need it, of course the car will warn you if it starts to run low to close, all you need to do is pull the hood down until it meets the latch and place a hand on each side. of the logo here and lean until it clicks, it's important that when you close the trunk you use firm but gentle pressure that maintains a nice, even seal between the hood and the body of the car keeping your stuff clean and dry, let's walk back and take a Look at the trunk, there are three ways to open the trunk with the key, as I just showed you on the touch screen and there is also this button right above the license plate.

If you have the technology package, the trunk opens automatically. You will also get this button here. which you can use to close the trunk or to remember a height setting, to do this simply lower the trunk to the desired height and then press and hold the button until it beeps, at which point the height setting will be remembered and you can open and close it. and it will always stop in this position to open it fully next time, just push it open to the maximum height, press and hold again to remember that setting, there is also a switch underneath here, great if you have rear facing child seats and If you have them, they actually store on the floor when folded;

If not, this becomes additional storage space - you already have 26.3 cubic feet of space - but it's nice to have something a little out of the way from your cargo gear. It also fits in this little cubby here. Let's talk about the fact that now all cars come with a mobile connector and an adapter for public charging stations. The mobile connector is nice and lightweight and allows you to plug it into a 120 or 240 volt power source. This is a standard. The 120 volt plug is not the fastest thing in the world, but it is very convenient because you find them everywhere to swap adapters, just press the button right at the top, here, detach it and then you can plug in the other adapter, put the Tesla T directly.

Slide it into place until it clicks and then we'll plug it into the wall first to start charging. Now that we're plugged into the wall, all you need to do is press this button here at the top and it will open the charging port. open it, it will light up white so you can see it at night and then you just plug it in, it will initially turn blue and then flash green when it starts charging, if it stays blue a little longer it is probably heating up or cooling down. the battery to prepare it for charging, the flashing green will actually flash faster when the state of charge is low and as it fills up, it gradually slows down and then turns solid green.

You can also see the charging status on the instrument panel when the car is unlocked you will see the voltage, the current level, the speed at which it is charging in miles and the total miles available, if you lock the car and walk away, the flashing green light will eventually go away so it doesn't draw attention if your car is equipped for supercharging everything works just like what I just showed you whether you have single or twin chargers and you don't need to bring any equipment just plug it in and You will notice that it loads a lot. faster, it charges very quickly during the first half of the battery and then will gradually decrease as the battery begins to fill, for this reason it is not necessary to fill it completely with a supercharger, it can simply very quickly charge everything you need to get to to the next supercharger or your destination, there's nothing wrong with stopping a charge.

Halfway through, you're starting a charge. Halfway there, actually, the most practical thing is to simply plug in the car when you get home and let it charge. while you sleep at night and unplug it when you're ready to go out in the morning, when you're ready to unplug it, all you need to do is press and hold this button here, take out the connector, close the charging port and you're ready to go. start since we have the charging port open, although let's take a look at public charging station adapters. Public charging stations usually have a plug like this and we included an adapter for the Model S that plugs right into the end of everything you need. what you do is slide this on the end, plug it directly into the Model S like you would at home, it will turn green as usual and when you're ready to go, press and hold this button like you would to take it out. all as one set and then remove the adapter, the adapter locks into the charging port every time the car is charging and it is locked, so if for some reason you need to remove the adapter by itself and it is locked in the car, just press the button to open.

Charging port button to release, that's it, now that we're done with charging, let's take a look at the door handles and a few things I want to show you in the back seat as well. As you saw, we extended the door handles. with the key before and they will get back in on their own if you lock the car or just let it sit for a minute or so, you can open them again as long as the door is unlocked by pressing the door handle like this and then to open it by itself give it a little tug let's take a look at some things inside the car as the rear door handles are fully electric we have included a mechanical release mechanism on each side under the seats you can pull them in just Al Lift a small flap of the carpet, the rear seats also fold 60/40 and all you need to do is release a small mechanical lever.

Here, fold it down and you've got 58.1 cubic feet of space, tons of storage now that we've covered. the outside of the car, let's go in and take a look, you'll notice the screens turn on as soon as you open the door. I would like to go over the controls on the steering wheel and the instrument panel with you on the left side, it mainly covers the media so we can jump back and forth between tracks with the top and bottom button, we can turn the volume up and down using the wheel. scroll and we can also click on the scroll wheel to pause or mute a certain audio track we can also click and hold this scroll wheel to choose what we want to see on the left side of the dashboard we can scroll down and see the energy see the energy usage we've had for the last 30 miles we can also see trip information and navigation if we had a route, if we had a route it would automatically fill this left side, but you can always go back to one of These above to start the car, all you need to do is press the brake pedal, it already knows I'm here because there is a sensor on the seat, so I press the brake, it turns on the center screen, it gives me some lights on the top as warning lights and then it shows me my speed on the left side again in the middle with that big zero showing how much range I have available. and on the right side we see how much energy we have consumed instantly, so right now there is an orange line right around zero as we accelerate.

That orange line builds up and shows how much it consumes when regenerated when you lift off the accelerator pedal. The car will slow down and start recharging the battery and this shows you a green line of how much is returning to that battery. You can also see what gear it's in at the bottom, so it's in park right now, but reverse or neutral would. shows there, the neutral reverse gear selector is here, so I can press down to drive. I can press R to go back and just a half click in the middle gives us neutral, pressing at the end allows us to park and if I need an emergency brake while driving.

Whatever the reason, you can simply press and hold and that will activate the emergency brakes on the right side. We have voice control with the top button, so I can press and hold this and tell the car to navigate to a location. I can also ask. to play a certain track, so if I wanted to do that, I would press and hold, wait until it says record and then it would say something I would do, so play Rolling Stones, release the button and then it will search for what I want. I'd like to do it now Rolling Stones appeared here.

I can press that on the touchscreen and the car will start playing Rolling Stones automatically. I can see it on the right side using the same control here where I hold down the scroll wheel and now I can choose between these different options for the media and now I see that the car is playing Rolling Stones very well. We can also use the bottom button to choose the menu. Here we can customize it or we can choose the phone menu, so if I click on the scroll. scroll wheel on customize Now I have the option to choose what I would like to do with this scroll wheel; it's currently set to all and that allows us to cycle through all the different options here weather temperature fan speed screen brightness sunroof media Source I can also start a phone call directly by choosing phone and then I can choose my recent calls or contacts so I can scroll through all my recent calls.

I can go back by pressing the menu button again choosing contacts and then I can scroll through my entire directory in alphabetical order sort now that we've covered the steering wheel and instrument panel controls let's move on to the touch screen you'll notice that the touch screen is separated into four different areas, there is a bar at the top that is always stationary and to start, there is a status bar at the top, here you have the temperature, you have a shortcut to the charging menu, home link, controls of the driver, a shortcut to the version you're viewing in the Bluetooth menu, the time of the car's 3G signal, and whether the passenger airbag is on or off. check them one by one, let's take a look at the loading menu.

The charging menu shows you how many miles are available on the car. Provides you with a visual representation that allows you to choose between standard and maximum range mode. The standard mode is 85% of the batteries are charged this is good for daily life it is great for long battery life stay away from extreme battery levels but if you are going on a long trip the next day it is a good idea to charge in max range mode max range mode charges the car to 100% which fills it up completely its a bit bad for long term life but it gives you the full range of the car and it will stay in that mode for about 3 days unless you set it again and it will occasionally remind you to switch back to standard.

Returning to standard takes you back to 85% on your next charge. The charging current is actually just to override the car's downward charging current automatically. knows what to charge depending on what's plugged into the mobile jack, for example, those adapters I showed you earlier will actually automatically reduce the current depending on what type of plug they're plugged into, but ifneeds to reduce it for Whatever the reason, you can touch this down a little bit and that will lower it. You can also open the charging port directly from here with just a quick tap. Cars equipped with the Technology Package have a launch link available.

You can create a new home link. When adding a name, press create home link and then the car will guide you through the instructions to set it up. You will need the garage door opener and perhaps a ladder to reach the garage door opener button to program it. also set up a driver profile from here press driver profile settings add a name create profile and it will actually create it for you and allow you to adjust your seating position and then save when done within the profile you can see what is saved by pressing here and that will show you that it's more than just seat controls - it saves the lights and locks the settings, maps your units and formats the climate control a number of different things so the car remembers How you like it by pressing the Tesla T button here. you can see what software version you are on, see the latest software version notes, the VIN number of the car and what

model

you have below is Bluetooth by pressing the Bluetooth symbol here we can search for a phone, take your phone and make sure it is set as discoverable, then press Start Search, it will find your phone, you can press to add the device by sending a code and you can accept that on the phone, this should take just a moment, press pair on your phone.

You will see the media and then the phone will appear. You can jump straight to Media or phone, but keep in mind that your phone contacts will take a little while to load. Especially, especially if you have a lot of them on the phone, we'll skip that for now and jump to that in the phone settings later. This bar at the bottom is also stationary. There is a shortcut to the control menu and some heating and ventilation controls. We'll cover it later, let's take a look at this menu. Here you will see that there are many different things that we can control in the car directly from the touch screen.

Let's jump in and take a look at the sunroof. We can open it. by pressing this bar here, so if I want to fan it out I can do that, I can drag it down to open it a certain amount and I can also control it by just dragging the image here, that's it, okay, let's take a look. In the driving tab you can choose the suspension height, although it is automatic for normal use, it will lower at highway speed if you have the air suspension option, but then you can choose a high or very high setting, for example on On a steep road, the Jack button simply disables it, so if you're changing a tire it won't try to level itself automatically.

The steering mode changes the steering effort, so what it will do is sport will give you more rigidity. steering a little more feedback while the Comfort lightens up, makes it a little easier to drive around town traction control lets you turn off traction control for the rear wheels stability control will stay on but lets you have a little More fun with the car will of course eat up some of your tires, so we recommend that you keep that in. Regenerative braking allows you to reduce the amount of force you get when you lift off the accelerator pedal.

Driving in standard mode is great, it's a lot. It's more efficient and more closely mimics what you'd feel in a car with a manual transmission when you release the accelerator pedal. For someone who is used to an automatic transmission, maybe the low setting is better for them, but you should keep in mind that it is a little less efficient. You will get less power when you slow down by releasing the accelerator pedal. You also have the option to turn on or off what we call inching which also mimics an automatic transmission. When it's on and you release the brake pedal, the car crawls forward or backward depending on what gear you're in.

Next, we will jump to the travel tab. You can see how much power you've used since your last charge and how far you've traveled and what the average power per mile has been, it also has two different trip meters that you can set independently of trip A and A B, like you would on a normal car, except these also save your energy usage, total energy and average energy per mile, let's jump to the screens now with the screens you can choose the brightness for day or night mode by sliding the scale up or down You can also choose day or night mode independently or leave it on an automatic setting so that the sensors in the car turn it into day or night mode depending on how bright it is outside, then we have on and off.

Here you can control the parking brake independently and this button also turns red and becomes an emergency brake while driving, but remember that the button on the gear selector for Park is also your emergency brake. If you simply hold it down, you can also use it to disengage the parking brake and leave the car in free motion, for example at a car wash or somewhere else you want the car to be. Move freely to do that, press the blue button here while your foot is on the brake pedal, that will disengage the handbrake and then you can turn off the car by pressing this button here and when you get out, it won't turn off the car automatically.

When parking, the car will give you a quick warning and then you can turn it off to turn it back on. All you need to do is step on the brake or tap on the touch screen and then you can press here to access the handbrake at the bottom we have access to open the front or rear trunks lock or unlock the doors and open the charging port on the right side we have dome light settings we can turn the ambient lights on or off turn the daytime running lights on or off turn off the fog lights if you have them and then you also have the headlight settings which you can leave on Automatic.

Remember you always have the hazard lights on this button here and one of the cool things is you can see a representation of the fog lights. The lights that are on on this screen immediately next, let's take a look at the settings tab below this, we can take a look at our media player accounts, we can also see our maps and navigation magnification instead of zoom, which is a little different and also. set the home page of our web browser, we also have access to our driver profiles that we discussed earlier in the status bar and we also have access to units and formats where you can set the distance in miles or calculate your time in 12 or 24 hours temperature in Fahrenheit. and Celsius load units to show distance or power while driving the car and also shows your range if you want a rating that is the EPA rating or ideal that is closer to a 55mph cruise.

Next, we have vehicle controls that you can adjust if you would like the doors to lock when you drive away. The child protection lock for the rear doors. You can also configure it with the technology package. Locking gateway type doors. If you want the door handles to be on the tires. You can also turn auto tilt mirror on or off. while reversing, turn the alarm on or off, you can choose whether you want the headlights to stay on for 2 minutes after leaving and you can also activate the range mode which reduces the air conditioning and heating output and will turn on the car heaters. seating.

First, while you heat the cabin to save energy, you can also activate access to the mobile app from here and finally we have the home link. This is a shortcut to the menu we saw earlier, which allows you to set up a garage and your door opener at the bottom as well. Here you have controls for seat heating and heating and ventilation controls. The seat heating starts off pleasantly warm and you can turn it down from here. You can also choose the temperature by pressing up and down and if you want you can sync it with the passenger side or choose separately you also have the front defogger the rear defogger an on or off button to turn everything on or off and you can even customize it right here open this you can choose the fan speed independently you can choose the direction if you want to recirculate or turn the air conditioning on or off, there is also a redundant volume control for the passenger in the lower right corner.

Let's take a look at the applications. You can see we have media and navigation highlighted here. The media is at the top and navigation. It is at the bottom, if you want to open something at the top, all you need to do is tap on it so we can tap the energy, it will open above, if we want to open media at the bottom, what we can do is you can press Hold and you will see that you have an option for two different screens.
