- In this sequence of EVU mini-courses, we’ll take a look at community knowledge, that is, the little things that Model S owners have learned over their years of ownership. This community knowledge can be a revelation to new Model S owners, and also useful for those who have owned the car for some time. >> The Model S is a high tech product >> Like any high tech product, users learn things that become part of the knowledge base of the community of owners >> Many of these things can be found buried in the Owner’s Manual, which can be accessed directly from the 17” display (if you don’t know how, we’ll explain later in this mini-course) >> But they are best imparted by word of mouth, or given a global community of Model S owners, as a collection of “tips and tricks.” The intent of this EVU mini-course sequence is to help you learn tips and tricks that allow you to get the most out of the Model S.
- I suppose you could argue that everything you need to know about the Model S can be found in the Owner’s Manual. And that’s probably true. But how many of us actually read the Owner’s Manual cover to cover, even when, as I mentioned, you can display the entire document on your 17” touch screen display >> Tips and tricks are a short cut. Some you learn from other Model S Owners, >> via Word of mouth In addition, lots of invaluable information can be gleaned from >> Contributors on the Model S forums such as >> Tesla Motors forum and the >> Tesla Motors Club forum Still others can be learned from >> Books, such as Nick Howe’s best selling, Owning Model S or from >> collections of tips, such as >> “Lesser Known Tips and Tricks,” developed by Geremy Farrell >> and Teslarati’s Tips and Tricks, both available at the links shown on your screen We’ve used Geremy’s compendium and Teslarati’s tips and tricks as the basis for the EVU mini-course sequence, but we’ve added some of our own and others gleaned from still other sources. Where possible, we’ll try to provide credit with screen names, but if we’ve inadvertently missed a credit, we apologize in advance. In every case, please note that Model S functionality and the display screen itself, changes with over-the-air updates, and each Tip or Trick should be tried in a safe and controlled setting before you take it on the road.
- Let’s begin with a blanket statement—the Model S is a automobile, therefore, >> Driving the Model S is really no different that driving any other car … >> except … in a way it is! Some have characterized the Model S as >> a “computer with 4 wheels” and recognizing that simple reality, we’ll present a collection of Tips and Tricks that can >> enhance your driving experience
- Let’s begin with some basics, just in case you missed them: >> Using the Controls button in the lower left hand corner of the display, it’s possible to establish a variety of driving controls and settings: >> first touch the controls tab at the top of the 17” display and then touch the “driving” button at the left of the display you’ll have access to specific driving parameters that allow you to control >> steering, regen, traction control, creep >> if you touch controls and then the “settings” tab, you have access to a variety of vehicle setting including >> driver profiles, switchable units and formats, safety & security, Homelink, and more
- Obviously, the definitive source for all things Model S is the Owner’s Manual, a large document that describes every aspect of the car. >> One of the cool things about the Model S is >> The Owner’s Manual can be displayed in its entirety on the 17” display, you’ll never have to pull out the paper version. To read the manual, >> touch controls , then the “settings” tab on top of the screen, then touch the manual button in lower left hand corner >> use the table of contents to find what you need
- Homelink is designed for those owners who need a remote control access to an automatic garage door opener or an automatic access gate >> the Homelink function is GPS aware, so it’s important to program it where you’ll use it. The Homelink display will pop up automatically when you approach your usage location. >> if you’re having trouble with setup: >> hold the gate/door remote in the middle of the frunk as you program Homelink >> as an alternative: place the remote at the front of the frunk floor about 2 inches toward the driver’s side of the frunk light (@NickHowe) We’ll continue with more driving tips and tricks in the next part of this EVU mini-course.
