Touchscreen Overview
The features and information you need to drive Model 3 are displayed on the touchscreen. When
driving, the touchscreen displays driving-related information such as driving speed, vehicle range,
warnings, etc. The touchscreen is used to control many features that, in traditional cars, are controlled using physical buttons (for example, adjusting mirrors). You can also use the
touchscreen to customize Model 3 to suit your preferences.
Warning: Always pay attention to road and traffic conditions when driving. To minimize driver
distraction and ensure the safety of vehicle occupants as well as other road users, avoid using
the touchscreen to adjust settings while the vehicle is in motion.
Note: The image below is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version and market region, your touchscreen may appear slightly different.
1.This area on the top of the touchscreen displays the time and provides shortcut to lock/
unlock the vehicle, access vehicle information (the Tesla "T"), choose or set up a driver profile
(see Driver Profiles on page 44), control HomeLink devices (if equipped) (see HomeLink
Universal Transceiver on page 119), view network strength, and connect to Wi-Fi (see
Connecting to Wi-Fi on page 121) and Bluetooth devices (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on
page 114). If you see an exclamation mark, touch it to see warning messages that are in effect. If you see a yellow clock icon, a software update is available (see Software Updates on
page 122).
Note: An airbag status symbol displays in the top right corner of the touchscreen only when
Model 3 is powered on, ready to drive, and the airbag is turned off (see Airbags on page 40).
2. Car Status. This area dynamically displays the current status of Model 3 as you drive, park,
open doors, turn lights on, etc. Monitor this area when driving as it displays important
information such as driving speed and warning messages (see Car Status on page 56). When
the car is in Park, you can open the trunks or charge port door.
3. Cards. This area automatically updates to display information such as incoming calls, seat belt
reminders, current state of the wipers, etc. It also provides easy access to the rear view camera (see Rear View Camera on page 68), charging status (see Charging Instructions on
page 126), voice commands (see Using Voice Commands on page 117), wiper controls (see
