How Speed Assist Works
Model Y displays a speed limit on the touchscreen and
you can choose if and how you are warned when you exceed the speed limit. Also, instead of using the detected speed limit, you can base warnings on an arbitrary speed limit that you enter manually.
NOTE: When using Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, you can
touch this speed limit sign to change your set cruising
speed to the detected speed limit (including any
offsets
that you have set).
In situations where Model Y is unable to determine a
speed limit, or if Speed Assist is uncertain that an acquired speed limit is accurate, the
touchscreen may
not display a speed limit sign and warnings do not take
effect.
NOTE: Speed limit warnings go away after ten seconds,
or when
Model Y slows down below the specified limit.
WARNING: Do not rely on Speed Assist to
determine the appropriate speed limit or driving
speed. Always drive at a safe speed based on
traffic and road conditions.
Controlling Speed Assist
To adjust the Speed Limit Warning setting, touch
Controls > Autopilot > Speed Limit Warning, then
choose one of these options:

Overview of Climate Controls
Climate controls are available at the bottom of the touchscreen. By default, climate control is set to Auto, which
maintains optimum comfort in all but the most severe weather conditions. When you adjust the cabin temperature
while in the
Auto setting, the system automatically adjusts the heating, air conditioning, air distribution, and fan
speed to maintain the cabin at your selected temperature.
Touch the displayed temperature at the bottom of the touchscreen to access the main climate controls screen, where you can adjust your climate preferences. You can revert back to Auto at any time by touching
Auto. Touch the
power button on the main climate controls screen to toggle on or
off. For quick access to common controls, touch <
or > to display the climate popup.
NOTE: The climate control system is powered by the high voltage Battery. Therefore, prolonged use decreases
driving range.
WARNING: To avoid burns resulting from prolonged use, individuals who have peripheral neuropathy, or whose
capacity to feel pain is limited because of diabetes, age, neurological injury, or some other condition, should
exercise caution when using the climate control system and seat heaters.
Adjusting Climate Control Settings
NOTE: Easily adjust your climate preferences, such as turning on the seat heater or changing the cabin temperature,
hands-free by using voice commands (see
Voice Commands on page 136).
NOTE: For one-touch access to seat heaters and defrosters, you can add these controls to My Apps. See
Customizing My Apps on page 8.

Unpairing a Bluetooth Phone
If you want to disconnect your phone and use it again
later, simply touch
Disconnect on the Bluetooth settings
screen. If you no longer want to use your phone with
Model Y, touch Forget This Device. Once you forget a
device, you must pair it again if you want to use it with
Model Y (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on page 133).
NOTE: Your phone automatically disconnects when you
leave
Model Y.
NOTE: Unpairing the phone has no effect on using the
phone as a key. To forget an authenticated phone, see
Managing Keys on page 13.
Connecting to a Paired Phone
Model Y automatically connects to a phone that you
designated as
Priority Device on the Bluetooth settings
screen. If you have not set a phone as a priority,
Model Y
connects to the last phone to which is was connected, provided it is within operating range and has Bluetooth
turned on. If the last phone is not within range, it attempts to connect with the next phone that it has
been paired with.
To connect to a different phone, touch the Bluetooth
icon at the top of the
Controls screen. The Bluetooth
settings screen displays a list of paired phones. Choose
the phone you want to connect to, then touch
Connect.
If the phone you want to connect to is not listed, you
must pair the phone. See
Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on
page 133.
When connected, the Bluetooth settings screen displays the Bluetooth symbol next to the phone

Wi-Fi is available as a data connection method and is often faster than cellular data networks. Connecting to Wi-Fi is especially useful in areas with limited or no
cellular connectivity. To ensure fast, reliable delivery of software and map updates, Tesla recommends leaving
Model Y connected to a Wi-Fi network whenever
possible (for example, when parked overnight).
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1.
Touch Controls > Wi-Fi icon at the top of the
Controls screen. Model Y begins to scan and display
detected Wi-Fi networks that are within range.
When connected to Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi icon displays at
the top of the touchscreen.
NOTE: If a known Wi-Fi network does not appear in
the list, move
Model Y closer to the access point or
consider using a range extender.
NOTE: When connecting to a 5GHz network (if
available), check which channels are supported in your region.
5GHz Network Channels Supported36-4852-64100-140149-165FFFF2.
Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use, enter the password (if necessary), then touch
Confirm.
3.
Model Y connects to the Wi-Fi network. Whenever
the network is within range,
Model Y connects to it
automatically.
You can also connect to a hidden network that isn

NOTE: Reverting to a previous software version is not
possible.
If the touchscreen displays a message indicating that a software update was not successfully completed, contact Tesla.

charging stops. Charging resumes automatically when the software update is complete. If you are driving
Model Y at the scheduled update time, the update is
canceled and must be rescheduled.

feature is active, the icon is blue).
Navigate
on Autopilot is a full self-driving (Beta)
feature that automatically changes lanes
and steers
Model Y on controlled-access
roads (like highways and freeways), along a
navigation route. For details, see
Navigate
on Autopilot on page 101.
Selecting an Alternate Route
Depending on market region and vehicle configuration,
this feature may not be available on your vehicle. Your
vehicle must be equipped with Premium Connectivity.
After you have entered a destination with one stop, the
map displays up to three alternate routes. This allows you to easily compare total travel time and
traffic
information for each route. If you do not select a
preferred route within the timeout period, the fastest route is automatically selected.
Adding Stops to a Route
After you have entered a destination, you can edit your
route by adding, deleting or reordering stops. Touch the three dots at the bottom of the turn-by-turn direction
list to view options to edit your route.
Add Stop allows you to add a stop by
searching for a location or adding a Home,
Recent or Favorite destination. You can
also add a stop by touching any pin on the map and selecting
Add from the popup.
Edit Stop allows you to set up a complex
trip by adding or deleting stops on your route. Drag and drop stops by touching the equal sign to reorder your trip.
Automatic Navigation

may prompt you to navigate to your Work location in
the mornings and to your Home location in the evenings
and provide an estimated driving time based on current
traffic conditions. See Automatic Navigation on page
155.
For security reasons, if you sell Model Y, it is
recommended that you delete your Home and Work
