NOTE: If you forget the PIN, you can disable Speed Limit
Mode by entering the login credentials for your Tesla
Account.
NOTE: When Speed Limit Mode is enabled, the
acceleration setting (
Controls > Driving > Acceleration)
is automatically set to
Chill.
WARNING: Driving downhill can increase driving
speed, causing the vehicle to exceed your chosen
maximum speed.
WARNING: Speed Limit Mode is not a replacement
for good judgment, driver training, and the need to
closely monitor roadway speed limits and driving
conditions. Accidents can occur at any speed.
Erasing Personal Data
You can erase all personal data (saved addresses, music favorites,
HomeLink programming, etc.) and restore all
customized settings to their factory defaults. This is useful when transferring ownership of
Model Y. Touch
Controls > Service > FACTORY RESET. Before erasing,
Model Y verifies your credentials by prompting you to
enter the user name and password associated with your Tesla Account.

If you replace a wheel, the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors need to be reset to ensure they provide accurate warnings when tires are
under-
inflated (see Automatic Reset of TPMS Sensors on page
169).
For the specification of the original wheels and tires
installed on
Model Y, see Wheels and Tires on page 189.
NOTE: Installing winter tires with aggressive compound
and tread design may result in temporarily-reduced regenerative braking power. However, your vehicle is
designed to continuously recalibrate itself, and after changing tires it will increasingly restore regenerative
braking power after some moderate-torque straight-line accelerations. For most drivers this occurs after a short period of normal driving, but drivers who normally accelerate lightly may need to use slightly harder accelerations while the recalibration is in progress.
WARNING: For your safety, use only tires and
wheels that match the original specification. Tires
that do not match the original specification can
affect the operation of the TPMS.
WARNING: Never exceed the speed rating of your
vehicle
