Touchscreen Overview
66Model S Owner's Manual

During Navigation
During navigation, the touchscreen displays the navigation route on the map, and a turn-
by-turn direction list that includes estimated driving time, mileage, and arrival time.Depending on the map’s zoom level, youmight not be able to see the entire route. Butas you drive, the map shows your location on
the map.
The instrument panel also displays directions to your destination and you 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 .
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
(described below).
Favorite Destinations If you frequently navigate to a destination,
you may want to add it as a Favorite to avoid having to enter the location's name or address
each time. When you add a destination as a
Favorite, you can easily navigate to it by touching PLACES, then selecting it from the
list of Favorites. The Favorites list has placeholders for your Home and Worklocations. In fact, Model S may prompt you to
save a current location as Home or Work
based on your usage pattern.Add any destination to your list of
Favorites by either touching its flag
while navigating to it, or by
displaying it on the map then
touching its pin. Then, in the popup
dialog that appears, touch the
Favorites icon. When a destination is
on your Favorites list, the icon is
blue. To remove a favorite
destination, touch the Favorites icon
again.
Updated Maps
Be sure to periodically connect Model S to a
Wi-Fi network to receive new maps (see
Connecting to Wi-Fi on page 89). As
updated maps become available, they are sent
to Model S over Wi-Fi only. The touchscreen
displays a message informing you when new maps are installed.

OverviewNote: Calendar is a BETA feature in Release
6.0.
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 themobile app on your phone, updated
calendar data is sent to Model S.
• Your phone is connected to Model S via Bluetooth.
• Remote access to Model S is enabled (touch Controls > Settings > Safety &
Security > Remote Access > On ).
• Both Model S and the phone have good connectivity.
Note: For privacy reasons, calendar data
displays only from the phone that Model S is connected to via Bluetooth.
You can customize when you want Model S to
display a reminder of the day's events by
touching Controls > Settings > Apps >
Calendar > Show Calendar Upon Entry .
Calendar and Navigation If Model S is equipped with the navigationfeature, and a calendar event has a locationspecified, you will be given the option to
navigate to that location. Also, when an event
on your Calendar takes place within the next
hour and has a uniquely specified location, the Model S navigation system notifies you if
there is a better route due to traffic, even if
you’re not using navigation.
