⚡️ TESLA (Model 3/Y/S/X)
1️⃣ Soft Reset (Infotainment/Screen Only)
When: If the touchscreen is frozen or glitchy.
How:
- Sit in Park.
- Hold both scroll wheels on the steering wheel until the screen goes black.
- Release when the Tesla logo appears (~10–15 seconds).
- The car stays drivable; just resets the central display.
2️⃣ Full Reset (System Reboot)
When: If multiple systems (audio, Bluetooth, UI) misbehave.
How:
- Put the car in Park.
- Press brake pedal while holding both scroll wheels for 10–15 seconds.
- Wait for reboot.
(This resets more modules, including MCU and gateway controller.)
3️⃣ Power Off / Deep Reboot
When: For persistent bugs or after software updates acting weird.
How:
- Tap: Controls → Safety → Power Off.
- Sit still, do not touch pedals or doors for ~2 minutes.
- Press the brake to wake the car again.
🧠 Tips Across All Brands:
- Always park safely and avoid resets while driving unless it’s a non-critical infotainment reboot.
- Software updates often fix underlying issues — check for pending updates before deep resets.
- After any reset, systems like driver profiles, Bluetooth, or seat memory may need re-activation.
⚡ TESLA (Model 3 / Y / S / X) – wipers in service mode
🧰 Purpose: Raise wipers for cleaning or replacement.
✅ How:
- Put the car in Park (P).
- Tap Controls → Service → Wiper Service Mode.
- Wipers move up the windshield and stop vertically.
- Turn off service mode the same way (tap again) when done.
Notes:
- Never lift wipers manually without enabling service mode — they rest under the hood edge and can scrape paint.
