2. Start driving
Put your foot on the brake. Select D on the screen, or swipe the car icon on the left side of the screen forward. Press the accelerator gently.
3. Stop and park
Take your foot off the accelerator. The car slows down automatically thanks to regenerative braking. Put the car in Park when you’re done.
4. Reverse
Select R on the screen, or swipe the car icon on the left side of the screen backward. Check your mirrors and cameras. Don’t rely only on the screen.
5. Charge

6. Temperature and voice
Tap the temperature at the bottom of the screen to choose your setting. Need something else? Tap the microphone and just say what you want.
shifting gears
Model 3 and Model Y shift on the center touchscreen, with a manual option on the overhead console. Model X also shifts on the touchscreen by swiping up or down, with manual P R N D buttons underneath the center console.
On the touchscreen
Tap D for Drive or R for Reverse, or swipe the car icon on the left side of the screen forward or backward. Put the car in Park when you’re done.
Manual: overhead console
Model 3 and Model Y also have manual P R N D buttons on the overhead console. The hazard light button sits between R and N.
Manual: Model X center console
On Model X, the manual P R N D buttons sit underneath the center console, close to the wireless phone charger. No touchscreen needed.
Need Neutral?
To shift to Neutral, go to Controls on the center console screen and tap Neutral.
what each mode does
Your Tesla may offer three stopping modes. Here is how each one feels behind the wheel.
Hold (recommended)
Uses regenerative braking to slow the car to a complete stop, then automatically applies the brakes so the car will not roll or creep. This enables one-pedal driving and maximizes battery range.
Creep
Mimics a traditional gas-powered automatic. The motor keeps applying a little torque, so the car slowly moves forward or backward when you release the brake pedal.
Roll
Lets the car free-roll like it is in neutral when you let off the pedals. It can drift on flat surfaces or roll backward on hills.
Note: newer Model 3 and Model Y software updates may lock the vehicle to Hold mode, removing the Creep and Roll options.
driver controls
Turn signals
The turn signals are on the steering wheel. They turn off automatically once your Tesla detects that you’ve completed a maneuver.
Horn
Press the center of the steering wheel to honk.
