Notas do Editor
- In this EVU mini-course, we’ll consider tips and trick that address a variety of other features of the Model S. We begin with a situation that occurs at least a few times for every Model S owner. You approach the vehicle, but >> For whatever reason, the door handles won’t extend >> first, push on the door handle, and that usually does the trick. >> if that doesn’t work, another option is to double click on the top of the key fob >> If you’ve left your key fob in the car >> use your Model S smartphone app to unlock the doors And if you don’t currently have the Model S app on your smartphone? Get it! It’s invaluable for a variety of reasons and it’s free.
- Like any battery operated device, there it possible that your key fob battery will die unexpectedly >> To unlock your doors— >> place the dead key fob on the passenger side window by the windshield wiper. >> To start the car— >> put the dead key fob in the cup holder in the center tower arm rest. >> As an aside, it’s not a bad idea to keep a spare CR2032 lithium battery in the car or your desk, so that you can remedy a dead fob battery quickly. It’s also a good idea to replace your key fob battery every year or so. Put a note in your smartphone calendar as a reminder.
- If, like me, you live in a place where temperatures often exceed 90 degrees, the best solution for a really hot car is to use your Tesla smartphone app and initiate air conditioning in the car for 5 minutes before you enter it. But sometimes you just forget. In that case >> to put all windows down at once— >> press and hold the top (middle) button on the key fob and all windows come down, so that your car can expel the heated air.
- As I’ve already mentioned, the model s smartphone app is a very useful information source as well as the control center for remote commands. >> The app provides a set of basic vehicle controls including >> roof, lock/unlock, horn, flash lights >> You can also acquire the car’s instantaneous location w/ satellite map, so if you’re brave enough to loan out your Model S, you’ll know where it is at all times. >> In addition the app gives you the state of the battery charge and the status of charging >> and provides a variety of climate control functions that I referred to previously, allowing you, for example, to air condition or heat your car before you get into it.
- Regen kicks in the moment you release your foot from the acceleration, but >> when do your brake lights come on as regen kicks in? To find out … >> touch the battery icon at the top of the touch screen >> the current/active status of lights will be shown, along with battery status. >> when your brake lights come on, they will appear in the graphic. In this case, note that the brake lights are illuminated red as regen becomes strong enough to slow the car
- With a car as nice as the Model S, you’ll want to keep it clean. If you prefer to forgo a car wash and do the cleaning yourself, >> To make your life just a little easier when you do wash your car >> raise the vehicle to its “Very High” suspension position and then turn it off You’ll do less bending down and the high suspension setting makes it easier to use your hose to clean out the junk in the wheel wells.
- >> If your door handles retract and you realize that you need something inside the car >> there’s a 3 - 4 second delay before you can touch the door handle and cause it to re-open [@NickHowe]
- And for the somewhat frivolous, If you’re participating in a local car show or otherwise want to give your car a really ‘hot’ look while its parked, >> You can set your car to a low stance with the following steps >> When in ‘park’, use “controls” to set the car to the “Low” suspension setting to achieve a more sporty stance while parked. >> this will only work if none of the doors have been opened after setting the car to parked. The car will immediately rise to the “Standard” height setting once the vehicle is in motion. [Teslarati]
