A few months ago I was in my Reading Room which is in the center of my house in the basement. My Tesla was parked in the street in front of my house. I looking at my Tesla app and "Summoned" my Tesla to see what it would do. It drew a path from its location to me. Inside my house. In the basement. Im not sure how it thought it would get there but I was amused that it drew that route.
❤ thank you you do a great job educating us. I’m on my second Tesla and I am always amazed at how much I learned from your videos. I am embarrassed to admit it, but I now understand how to quickly unlock the car doors. My son’s always tease me that I don’t know how to do the car because I used to have to go through the long processto unlock the doors. Now I’ll just know to hit that lock icon.
On Tesla vehicles, locking the car is not always immediately intuitive because of the placement and design of the lock icon on the touchscreen. Unlike traditional cars where the lock mechanism is physical or clearly marked on a door, Tesla relies on its central touchscreen for many controls. The lock icon on a Tesla’s screen is often small and located in a less conspicuous area, like that small icon on the display. This can make it less noticeable, especially for new owners or passengers unfamiliar with Tesla’s user interface. Additionally, since Teslas are equipped with features like automatic locking when you walk away with your phone, many users may not even realize there’s a manual lock option on the screen. The combination of these factors can make manually locking the car seem unintuitive or less well-known among Tesla users.
I use my seat adjuster. Sometimes my 3 yr old grandson will put his feet on the back of the passenger seat and it drives me nuts! The first time I used the new feature button, he thought it was magic!!
To adjust the door lock timing after you exit your Tesla, follow these steps: -Go to Settings on the touchscreen. -Tap Locks. -Under Walk-Away Door Lock, you can toggle the feature on or off. -Unfortunately, Tesla doesn't allow you to set a specific time delay (like 5-10 seconds) for unlocking after you exit. It either locks automatically when you walk away, or you can manually unlock it using the app or key fob. I f you want to avoid the auto-lock feature, turning off Walk-Away Door Lock will let you decide when to lock/unlock.
Well, I drive a TESLA, not a ELON. Tesla is the best car I have ever driven and I won't give it up just because of the political ideology its CEO might follow or not.
It’s beyond bizarre that people would not buy a particular car because they “don’t like” the CEO. PLEASE tell me what you know about the CEOs of other companies. And what do you think about the “slave labour” revelations about the new BYD factory in Brazil?

Nice job explaining the features. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
I thought you had a funky under chin goatee until I realized it was your microphone!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you for sharing your information 👍
You're very welcome!

You are very welcome! It’s great to hear the videos are helpful!
You can also press the button for voice commands and just say lock the Dorris or unlock the doors.
@ thanks !
Thank you! It was great meeting you😊
It was nice meeting you too!
Great videos. You’ve taught me quite a bit! Keep posting!!💪
Thanks! Will do!
Wonderfully explained. My Tesla is on driveway, I turned on pre condition battery on app, how will I know that the car is ready for charge?
I really appreciate your kind words! As for your Tesla, keep an eye on the app for updates; it’ll let you know when it’s ready to plug in!
I like the front body kit.
Great video
Great teacher
I have a model s most of the features u describe apply to my 2022 model S

how is locking and unlocking the car a hidden feature...

@ teslas aren’t traditional vehicles. when you see a lock icon on the top of the screen its pretty obvious bro
Radio volume went up as soon as the car was put in fwd, and no, I did not see your thumb moving the left scroll wheel up. 😂
lol it turned down... when I was talking it was talking low and I didn't realize I turn it down even more until I was editing lol
I use my seat adjuster. Sometimes my 3 yr old grandson will put his feet on the back of the passenger seat and it drives me nuts! The first time I used the new feature button, he thought it was magic!!
I'm glad you found that feature useful!
Press the park button twice to unlock car
I did not hear one beep and two beeps in the video when locking/unlocking doors from Tesla screen.
Thanks for pointing that out! Sometimes the audio can be tricky, but I'll make sure to include those details in future videos.
I've had these for weeks. I thought there would be different ones in this video
You’re on your game! Many people have not realized the changes. You’ve taken the initiative to stay updated 💯
I hate that the doors lock after 30 seconds or x amount of feet away. How do I set it to unlock 5-10 secs after I exit the vehicle ? 😊
Mine seems to lock after about 5 seconds if I’m walking away.
To adjust the door lock timing after you exit your Tesla, follow these steps:
-Go to Settings on the touchscreen.
-Tap Locks.
-Under Walk-Away Door Lock, you can toggle the feature on or off.

Not hidden at all ! Just need to read the user guide ...
True, but who has time for manuals when there are so many TikTok dances to learn? 😂
Still waiting my update.......
Turn on advance for updates

Useless? I guess these features are like the hidden treasures in a video game-some might find them essential, while others just want to level up!
Yet more gimmicks from dear leader. Pass. Hertz wised up, now it's your turn.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. Always good to hear different viewpoints!
No more Tesla for me. It’s Mercedes EQ or BYD. Away with Elon, even though we’re from the same country!
I oppose Elon but still support Tesla employees and customers
Well, I drive a TESLA, not a ELON. Tesla is the best car I have ever driven and I won't give it up just because of the political ideology its CEO might follow or not.
I love my Tesla. Only Tesla
It’s beyond bizarre that people would not buy a particular car because they “don’t like” the CEO.
PLEASE tell me what you know about the CEOs of other companies.
And what do you think about the “slave labour” revelations about the new BYD factory in Brazil?
Check out the news for BYD in Brazil
Very useful video! If you need to practice your spanish dont hesitate to contact me ;-)
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your offer to help with Spanish-I'll definitely keep that in mind!
