Adjusting Position
Adjust the steering wheel to the desired driving position by moving the control on the
left side of the steering column.Warning: Do not make adjustments while
driving.
Adjusting Sensitivity
You can adjust the feel and sensitivity of the
steering system to suit your personal preference:
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls.
2. Choose a steering option:
• Comfort - reduces the effort required to turn the wheel. In town, Model S
feels easier to drive and park.
• Standard - Tesla believes that this setting offers the best handling andresponse in all conditions.
• Sport - Increases the effort required to turn the wheel. When driving athigher speeds, Model S feels more
responsive.
The only way to really know which option you
like best is to try them.
Using Left Steering Wheel Buttons
Use the buttons on the left side of the steering
wheel to change radio stations, control the
media player’s volume, and control what
displays on the left side of the instrument panel (whenever the Navigation app is not
displaying instructions).
Note: The volume control on the steering
wheel does not adjust spoken navigation instructions. To control the volume of
navigation instructions, use the navigation
window on the touchscreen (see Using Maps
on page 90).
1. Next

radio and you have defined more than one
radio preset, press to play the next preset in the radio band that is currently playing.
If you have not defined more than one
preset, press to go to the next available
frequency.
If you are listening to Internet radio, or to
an audio file on a connected Bluetooth or USB device, press to skip to the next song
or station.
2. Scroll Wheel
• To adjust the media volume, roll up or down.
• To mute the media volume, or to pause/play an audio file, tap the
wheel.
• To choose what displays on the left side of the instrument panel, press
and hold the scroll wheel to display
the available options. Then roll the
scroll wheel to browse through the
options. Tap the scroll wheel when the option you want is highlighted.
3. Previous

Driving37

• To search for, or navigate to, a location,say “Where is,” “Drive,” or “Navigate,”
followed by an address, business name,
business category, or landmark. For
example, “Drive to Tesla in Menlo Park,”
“Drive to Starbucks on Homestead in
Cupertino,” or “Where is Stanford
University?” If you have defined a navigation address for your home or work
locations, you can use a voice command to "Navigate home" or "Navigate to work."
• To listen to an Internet music service, say “Listen to,” or “Play,” followed by the
name of the song, album, artist or
combination. To improve voice
recognition accuracy, provide multiple
cues in your command, such as artist plus
song (for example, “Play Honky Chateau
by Elton John” or “Listen to Boogie
Wonderland”).
Note: You can also use voice commands to
provide feedback to Tesla. Say "Note", "Report", "Bug note", or "Bug report" followed
by your brief comments. Model S takes a snapshot of its systems, including screen
captures of the touchscreen and instrument
panel. Tesla periodically reviews these notes
and uses them to continue improving Model S.
Heated Steering Wheel If Model S is equipped with the optional cold
weather package, you can also control a
heater in the steering wheel by touching Controls > Cold Weather > . When turned on,
a heater in the steering wheel keeps it at a

Driving Tips to Maximize RangeYou can maximize your driving range usingthe same driving habits that you use to
conserve fuel in a gasoline-powered vehicle. In
addition to driving habits, energy
consumption depends on environmental conditions (such as cold weather and hillyroads). To get the maximum mileage from a
charge:
• Avoid frequent and rapid acceleration. • Instead of using the brake to slow down, move your foot off the accelerator.
Whenever Model S is moving and your
foot is off the accelerator, regenerative
braking slows down Model S and feeds
surplus energy back to the Battery (see
Regenerative Braking on page 53).
• Keep tires at the recommended inflation pressures (see Tire Care and Maintenance
on page 109).
• Lighten your load by removing any unnecessary cargo.
• Limit the use of resources such as heating and air conditioning. Using seat heaters to
keep warm is more efficient than heating the cabin. To automatically limit the
amount of power that the climate control system uses to maintain the temperatureof the Battery and the cabin area, touch
Controls > Driving > Range Mode > ON .
Note: On Dual Motor vehicles, you can turn on
Range Mode only when acceleration is set to Sport (if you change Acceleration to Insane,Range Mode automatically turns off).
The power meter on the instrument panel and
the Energy app (described next) provide
feedback on energy usage. With this
feedback, you will soon become familiar with how driving habits and environmental
conditions impact how much energy Model S
is using.
Energy App Use the energy app to view real-time and
projected energy usage. Choose from two
types of charts:
• Consumption Chart: - display how much energy Model S has consumed over thepast 5, 15 or 30 miles (10, 25 or 50 kms).
• Trip Chart - If your Model S is equipped with the navigation option, you can trackthe amount of energy being consumed
while navigating to a destination. The gray
line represents predicted usage and the
green line represents actual usage. Touchthe zoom icon in the top right corner to change the zoom level.
Note: The Trip Chart displays energy usage
only if you are currently navigating to a destination.
Note: In some situations, values and distances
on the Trip chart may be inaccurate. For example, when charging Model S during anactive navigation route. To resolve
inaccuracies, cancel and reinitiate navigation to the destination.
Saving Energy Model S has an energy-saving feature that
reduces the amount of energy being
consumed when Model S is not in use. Touch Controls > Displays > Energy Saving and
choose from the following options:
• OFF . All display systems remain powered
when Model S is not in use, providing the most responsive experience. More energy
is consumed.
• NIGHTLY . Model S shifts to the energy-
saving mode at night (10 pm to 5 am).
• ON. Significantly less energy is consumed
whenever Model S is not in use. The start-
up time of the instrument panel and
Bluetooth could be slower.
• Always Connected . Preserves cell
connectivity when energy saving is active.
This allows the mobile app to connect to
Model S more quickly, and provides
immediate 3G internet access when entering the car. Slightly more energy isconsumed.

on your navigation route, the zoom
level adjusts to display an overview
of the route between your current
location and your destination.
The touchscreen also displays a turn-by-turn
direction list that includes estimated driving time, arrival time, and an estimate of howmuch energy will remain when you arrive atyour destination (see Predicting Energy Usage
on page 91).
During navigation, the instrument panel also
displays the turn-by-turn directions and you
will hear spoken instructions.
Model S detects real-time traffic conditions
and automatically adjusts the estimated
driving and arrival times based on traffic conditions. In situations where traffic
conditions will delay your estimated time of
arrival and an alternate route is available,
Model S reroutes you to your destination. You
can turn this feature off by touching
Controls > Settings > Apps > Maps &
Navigation > Traffic-Based Routing > Off .
Note: Traffic-based navigation is a BETA
feature in Release 6.0.
When you display the traffic layer on the map,
green traffic lines display under the route line,
whereas yellow and red traffic lines display on
top of the route line to ensure that heavy
traffic areas are easy to identify.
Model S can also monitor traffic to your work
location (on weekday mornings) and to your
home location (on weekday evenings) and
advise you if there is a better route in
situations where traffic conditions will cause a delay. You can set the time savings required
before the advice is given by touching
Controls > Settings > Apps > Maps &
Navigation > Min Improvement for Commute
Advice .
Note: Commute advice is available only if you
have saved a Home and Work Location (see Favorite Destinations on page 92).
Predicting Energy Usage
When navigating to a destination, Model S helps you anticipate your charging needs bycalculating the amount of energy that willremain when you reach your destination. Thecalculation is an estimate based on drivingand environmental factors such as predicted
speed and elevation changes. The
touchscreen displays this calculation in the
lower right corner of the turn-by-turn
direction list.
Throughout your route, Model S monitors
energy usage and updates the calculation as
needed. A popup warning displays above the
calculated amount advising you when:
• A yellow warning displays when you should drive slowly to converse energy.
Model S predicts that you will have very little energy remaining when you reach
your destination. For tips on conserving energy, see Getting Maximum Range on
page 70.
• A red warning displays when you must charge Model S to reach your destination.
Model S also lets you know if you have
enough energy for a round trip. Tap the
battery icon at the bottom of the turn-by-turn
navigation list to determine if Model S has
enough energy to get to your destination and
then return back to your starting point.
When navigating, the energy app displays
real-time energy usage for the current trip.

The Calendar app allows you to view your phone’s (iPhone or Android) calendar for the current and next day. The Calendar app requires that:
• The Tesla Model S mobile app is running and you are logged in. When prompted on your phone, you must grant calendar access to the mobile app. The mobile app can then
periodically (and automatically) send calendar data from your phone to Model S. Also,
whenever you display the mobile app on your phone, updated calendar data is sent to
Model S.
• Your phone is connected to Model S via Bluetooth (for privacy reasons, calendar data displays only from a phone that is connected via Bluetooth).
• Remote access to Model S is turned on (touch Controls > Settings > Safety & Security >
Remote Access > On ).
• Both your phone and Model S have good connectivity.
When you enter Model S, the touchscreen can display a reminder of the day's events. You can
customize if and when your calendar events are displayed by touching Controls > Settings >
Apps > Calendar > Show Calendar Upon Entry .
To view scheduled events for the next 48 hours, choose the Calendar app from the main
touchscreen window. The Calendar app displays events in chronological order.
1. If the calendar event includes an address, a navigation arrow displays to indicate that you can
touch the address to navigate to the event's location (if your Model S is equipped with the
Navigation option).
2. If the calendar event includes a phone number, you can touch the number to initiate a phone
call.
3. In situations where events are displayed from multiple calendars, you can filter to show only
events from one or more specific calendars.
4. If the calendar event has notes associated with it, touch the information icon to display the
notes in a pop up window.
