Summary
Tesla
does not provide physical owner's manual copies. Instead, all available owner?s manual content is integrated into the vehicle software, and only the content relevant for a given vehicle, based on vehicle configuration and software version installed, is displayed on its touchscreen. This file contains all available owner?s manual content for Model 3 vehicles converted to PDF format, and given the distribution method and NHTSA?s submission format requirements, it is the best available representative copy of owner?s manual content. However, a customer who accesses the owner?s manual via their vehicle?s touchscreen would only see the parts of this PDF file that are relevant to their vehicle.
To accommodate aftermarket tires and specific off-highway driving situations (such as track events), you can reset
the TPMS sensors to trigger an alert based on the currently set tire pressure instead of the default factory tire
pressure. To do so, touch Service > Reset TPMS Sensors and follow the onscreen instructions.
NOTE: Resetting TPMS sensors may be especially helpful when using Track Mode, but remember to restore the
factory TPMS setting when returning to normal driving.
WARNING: If your Model 3 is equipped with aftermarket tires that differ in size from those printed on the Tire
and Loading Information Label (see Vehicle Loading on page 278), it is the driver's responsibility to determine
the correct tire pressure. Do not drive on public roads when tires are not inflated to the correct pressure.
WARNING: Do not depend on TPMS sensors to accurately determine pressures and trigger alerts. It is the
driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressures (see Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 234). Over or
under-inflated tires can result in loss of control or tire damage, which can lead to serious injury.
Automatic Reset of TPMS Sensors
After replacing one or more wheels (but not after replacing a tire), the TPMS sensors are relearned to ensure tire
pressure warnings are accurate. TPMS sensors reset automatically within 10 minutes of driving over 15 mph
(25 km/h).
WARNING: If your Model 3 is equipped with aftermarket tires that differ in size from those printed on the Tire
and Loadingand Loading Information Label (see Vehicle Loading on page 278), it is the driver's responsibility to
determine the correct tire pressure. Do not drive on public roads when tires are not inflated to the correct
pressure.

Owners Manual
WARNING: Do not depend on TPMS sensors to accurately determine pressures and trigger alerts. It is the
driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressures (see Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 234). Over or
under-inflated tires can result in loss of control or tire damage, which can lead to serious injury.
Replacing a Tire Sensor
If the Tire Pressure warning indicator displays frequently, contact Tesla
to determine if a tire sensor needs to be
replaced. If a non-Tesla
Service Center repairs or replaces a tire, the tire sensor may not work until Tesla
performs the
setup procedure.
TPMS Malfunction
Model 3 has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating
properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the tire pressure indicator light. When the system
detects a malfunction, the indicator flashes for approximately one minute, then remains continuously
lit. This sequence continues upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When
the TPMS malfunction indicator is on, the system might not be able to detect or signal under- or overinflated tires as intended.
TPMS malfunctions can occur for a variety of reasons, including installing replacement or alternate tires or wheels
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction indicator light after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement tires or wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
NOTE: If a tire has been replaced or repaired using a different tire sealant than the one available from Tesla
, and a
low tire pressure is detected, it is possible that the tire sensor has been damaged. Contact Tesla to have the fault
repaired as soon as possible.
Seasonal Tire Types
Understand Your Tire Type
The type of tires that your vehicle is originally equipped with depends on vehicle model and market region. It is
important to understand the capabilities of your vehicle's tires and whether they are suited for summer, all-season,
or winter driving. Check the information on the sidewall of a tire for information about a tire's performance
characteristics (see Understanding Tire Markings on page 287)
Summer and All-Season Tires
Summer tires and all season tires are designed for maximum dry and wet road performance but are not designed to
perform well in winter conditions. All-season tires are designed to provide adequate traction in most conditions
year-round, but may not provide the same level of traction as winter tires in snowy or icy conditions. All-season tires
can be identified by “ALL SEASON" and/or "M+S” (mud and snow) on the tire sidewall.
If driving in cold temperatures or on roads where snow or ice may be present, Tesla recommends using winter tires.
If not equipped with winter tires, contact Tesla for winter tire recommendations.
WARNING: In cold temperatures or on snow or ice, summer and all-season tires do not provide adequate
traction. Selecting and installing the appropriate tires for winter conditions is important to ensure the safety
and optimum performance of your Model 3.
Winter Tires
Use winter tires to increase traction in snowy or icy conditions. When installing winter tires, always install a complete
set of four tires at the same time. Winter tires must be the same diameter, brand, construction and tread pattern on
all four wheels. Contact Tesla for winter tire recommendations.
241
Owners Manual
Winter tires can be identified by a mountain/snowflake symbol on the tire's sidewall.
When driving with winter tires, you may experience more road noise, shorter tread life, and less traction on dry
roads.
NOTE: Installing winter tires with aggressive compound and tread design may result in temporarily-reduced
regenerative braking power. However, your vehicle is designed to recalibrate itself to restore regenerative braking
power after a short period of normal driving.
NOTE: If you install winter tires or replace your tires, reset the tire configuration by navigating to Controls > Service
> Wheel & Tire Configuration > Tires (see Tire Configuration on page 239). This resets the learned tire settings and
improves the driving experience on your new tires.
Driving in Low Temperatures
Tire performance is reduced in low ambient temperatures, resulting in reduced grip and an increased susceptibility
to damage from impacts. Performance tires (summer applications) have reduced traction in ambient temperatures
below 40° F (5° C), and are not recommended in snow/ice conditions. Performance tires can temporarily harden
when cold, causing you to hear rotational noise for the first few miles (kilometers) until the tires warm up.
Using Tire Chains
Tesla has tested and approved the following tire chains to increase traction in snowy conditions. Tire chains should
only be installed on the rear tires. The approved tire chains can be purchased from Tesla.
Tire Size
Recommended Chain
18"/19"
KONIG CG-9 103
20"
KONIG K-SUMMIT K34
CAUTION: If your Model 3 is equipped with aero covers, you must remove them before installing tire chains
(see Removing and Installing Aero Covers on page 237). Failure to do so can cause damage not covered by the
warranty.
When installing tire chains, follow the instructions and warnings provided by the tire chain manufacturer. Mount
them evenly and as tight as possible.
When using tire chains:
• Inspect the tire chains for loose fittings and damaged links before each use.
• Avoid heavily loading Model 3 (heavy loads can reduce the clearance between the tires and the body).
• Do not drive the vehicle without the chains properly installed.
• Drive slowly. Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
• Remove the tire chains as soon as conditions allow.
NOTE: Tire chains are prohibited in some jurisdictions. Check local laws before installing tire chains.
CAUTION: Using non-recommended tire chains, or using tire chains on other sized tires can damage the
suspension, body, wheels, and/or brake lines. Damage caused by using non-recommended tire chains, or
incorrectly installing tire chains, is not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION: Do not use tire chains on the front tires.
CAUTION: Never deflate your tires to put on tire chains. When re-inflated, the chains might fit too tightly and
cause tire damage.
CAUTION: Ensure that the tire chains cannot touch suspension components or brake lines. If you hear the
chains making unusual noises that would indicate contact with Model 3, stop and investigate immediately.

Owners Manual
Cleaning
Cleaning the Exterior
To prevent damage to the paint, immediately remove corrosive substances (bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects,
tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout, etc.). Do not wait until Model 3 is due for a complete wash. If necessary, use
denatured alcohol to remove tar spots and stubborn grease stains, then immediately wash the area with water and a
mild, non-detergent soap to remove the alcohol.
Keep the exterior cameras free of dirt, condensation, or obstructions. These substances can cause unclear pictures
or Autopilot and safety features to stop working (see Cleaning a Camera on page 244).
Follow these steps when washing the exterior of Model 3:
1. Rinse Thoroughly
Before washing, flush grime and grit from the vehicle using a hose. Flush away accumulations of mud in areas
where debris easily collects (such as wheel wells and panel seams). If salt has been used on the highways (such as
during winter months), thoroughly rinse all traces of road salt from the underside of the vehicle, wheel wells, and
brakes.
2. Hand Wash
Hand wash Model 3 using a clean soft cloth and cold or lukewarm water containing a mild, high-quality car
shampoo.
CAUTION: Some cleaners and car shampoos contain chemicals that can cause damage or discoloration,
especially to plastic trim pieces, lamps, or camera lenses. For example, some car cleaning formulas contain
hydroxide or other highly alkaline or caustic ingredients that can damage exterior components. Damage or
discoloration resulting from cleaning products is not covered by the warranty.
3. Rinse with Clean Water
After washing, rinse with clean water to prevent soap from drying on the surfaces.
4. Dry Thoroughly and Clean Exterior Glass
After washing and rinsing, dry thoroughly with a chamois. If necessary, dry the brakes by going on a short drive
and applying the brakes multiple times.
Window Cleaning and Treatments
Clean windows and mirrors using an automotive glass cleaner. Do not scrape or use any abrasive cleaning fluid on
glass or mirrored surfaces. Follow the directions in Cleaning the Exterior on page 243 for best practices in cleaning
the exterior glass.
To add a hydrophobic coating to your vehicle's windows, apply the coating only to the side and rear windows, not
the front windshield—doing so may affect the visibility of the autopilot cameras. Follow the hydrophobic coating
manufacturer’s instructions for application details.
NOTE: Tesla is not responsible for any damage associated with applying window treatments on your vehicle.
Car Wash Mode
When taking Model 3 to a car wash, Car Wash Mode closes all windows, locks the charge port, and disables
windshield wipers, Sentry Mode, walk-away door locking, and parking sensor chimes. To enable, touch Controls >
Service > Car Wash Mode. Your vehicle must be stationary and not actively charging.
If using an automatic car wash, Enable Free Roll keeps your vehicle in Neutral and activates free roll for the duration
of the wash, while preventing Model 3 from applying the Parking brake if you leave the driver's seat. To enable, press
on the brake pedal and touch Enable Free Roll; or shift into Neutral.
Car Wash Mode disables if the vehicle's speed exceeds 9 mph (15 km/h) or by touching Exit on the touchscreen.
243
Owners Manual
CAUTION: Failure to put Model 3 in Car Wash Mode may result in damage (for example, to the charge port or
windshield wipers). Damage caused by car washes is not covered by the warranty.
Cleaning a Camera
To ensure a clear picture, the camera lens must be clean and free of obstructions.
Remove any build-up of dirt or debris by spraying water onto the camera lens with a spray bottle. Do not attempt to
remove dirt or debris by wiping an exposed lens with your hands or a cloth. This debris can damage the surface of
the lens when rubbed against it during wiping.
CAUTION: Do not use chemical-based or abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage the surface of the lens.
CAUTION: Do not clean an ultrasonic sensor (if equipped) or camera lens with a sharp or abrasive object that
can scratch or damage its surface.
Cautions for Exterior Cleaning
CAUTION: Do not wash in direct sunlight.
CAUTION: Do not use windshield treatment fluids. Doing so can interfere with wiper friction and cause a
chattering sound.
CAUTION: Do not use hot water, detergents, or highly alkaline or caustic cleaning products, especially those
containing hydroxide.
CAUTION: If using a pressure washer, maintain a distance of at least 12" (30 cm) between the nozzle and the
surface of Model 3. Avoid aiming the water jet directly at parking sensors (if equipped). Keep the nozzle
moving and do not concentrate the water jet on any one area.
CAUTION: Do not aim water hoses directly at windows, door, or hood seals or at electronic modules or
exposed cabling.
CAUTION: To avoid corrosive damage that may not be covered by the warranty, rinse away any road salt from
the underside of the vehicle, wheel wells, and brakes. After cleaning the vehicle, dry the brakes by going on a
short drive and applying the brakes multiple times.
CAUTION: Avoid using tight-napped or rough cloths, such as washing mitts. A high-quality microfiber cleaning
cloth is recommended.
CAUTION: If washing in an automatic car wash, use touchless car washes only. These car washes have no parts
(brushes, etc.) that touch the surfaces of Model 3. Some touchless car washes use caustic solutions that, over
time, can cause discoloration of decorative exterior trim. Avoid exposure to soaps and chemicals above pH 13.
If unsure, check the product label or ask the staff at the car wash. Damage caused by improper washing is not
covered by the warranty.
CAUTION: If washing in an automatic car wash, make sure the vehicle is locked. In addition, avoid using
controls on the touchscreen that can result in accidentally opening doors or trunks while the vehicle is being
washed. Any damage caused is not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION: Ensure the wipers are off before washing Model 3 to avoid the risk of damaging the wipers.
CAUTION: Do not use chemical based wheel cleaners or pre-wash products. These can damage the finish on
the wheels.
WARNING: Never spray liquid at a high velocity (for example, if using a pressure washer) towards the charge
port while Model 3 is charging. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or damage to the
vehicle, charging equipment, or property.
Cleaning the Interior
Frequently inspect and clean the interior to maintain its appearance and to prevent premature wear. If possible,
immediately wipe up spills and remove marks. For general cleaning, wipe interior surfaces using a soft cloth (such as
microfiber) dampened with a mixture of warm water and mild non-detergent cleaner (test all cleaners on a
concealed area before use). To avoid streaks, dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.
244
Owners Manual
Interior Glass
Do not scrape, or use any abrasive cleaning fluid on glass or mirrored surfaces. This can damage the reflective
surface of the mirror and the heating elements in the rear window.
Airbags
Do not allow any substance to enter an airbag cover. This could affect correct operation.
Dashboard and Plastic Surfaces
Do not polish the upper surfaces of the dashboard. Polished surfaces are reflective and could interfere with your
driving view.
Seats
Wipe spills and chemical residues from interior surfaces as soon as possible using a soft cloth moistened with warm
water and non-detergent soap. Wipe gently in a circular motion. Then wipe dry using a soft, lint-free cloth.
Although seating surfaces are designed to repel stains, Tesla recommends regular cleaning to maintain performance
and an as-new appearance. Promptly treat dye transfer from clothing, such as indigo-dyed denim. Avoid contact
with harsh chemicals, including certain cosmetics. Never use cleaners containing alcohol or bleach. Spot-test
cleaners on an inconspicuous area before applying to visible surfaces.
Vacuum cloth seats as needed to remove any loose dirt.
CAUTION: Aftermarket, non-Tesla seat covers may inhibit the sensitivity of a seat's occupancy sensors and
may cause staining or damage.
Carpets
Avoid over-wetting carpets. For heavily soiled areas, use a diluted upholstery cleaner.
Seat Belts
Extend the belts to wipe. Do not use any type of detergent or chemical cleaning agent. Allow the belts to dry
naturally while extended, preferably away from direct sunlight.
Door Seals
Wipe door seals with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Excessive debris on the door seals can cause paint damage
when contacting surrounding surfaces. Avoid using alcohol wipes or any chemical products that can potentially
deteriorate the coating on the door seals.
Touchscreen
Clean the touchscreen using a soft lint-free cloth specifically designed to clean monitors and displays. Do not use
cleaners (such as a glass cleaner) or alcohol-based gel products (such as hand sanitizer) and do not use a wet wipe
or a dry statically-charged cloth (such as a recently washed microfiber). To wipe the touchscreen without activating
buttons and changing settings, you can enable Screen Clean Mode. Touch Controls > Display > Screen Clean Mode.
The display darkens to make it easy to see dust and smudges. To exit Screen Clean Mode, press and hold HOLD TO
EXIT.
Chrome and Metal Surfaces
Polish, abrasive cleaners, alcohol-based gel products (such as hand sanitizer), and hard cloths can damage the finish
on chrome and metal surfaces.

citrus, naphtha, or silicone-based products or additives on interior components can cause damage.
CAUTION: Statically-charged materials can cause damage to the touchscreen.
245
Owners Manual
WARNING: If you notice any damage on an airbag or seat belt, contact Tesla immediately.
WARNING: Do not allow any water, cleaners, or fabric to enter a seat belt mechanism.
WARNING: Exposure to chemical cleaners can be hazardous and can irritate eyes and skin. Read and observe
the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the chemical cleaner.
Polishing, Touch Up, and Body Repair
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the body, you can occasionally treat the paint surfaces with an approved
polish containing:
• Very mild abrasive to remove surface contamination without removing or damaging the paint.
• Filling compounds that fill scratches and reduce their visibility.
• Wax to provide a protective coating between the paint and environmental elements.
Regularly inspect the exterior paint for damage. Treat minor chips and scratches using a paint touch-up pen
(available for purchase from Tesla, depending on market region). Use the touch-up pen after washing but before
polishing or waxing.
Repair rock chips, fractures or scratches. Refer to https://www.tesla.com/support/body-shop-support for more
information on repair locations and available services.
CAUTION: Do not use cutting pastes, color restoration compounds, or polishes containing harsh abrasives.
These can scour the surface and permanently damage the paint.
CAUTION: Do not use chrome polish or other abrasive cleaners.
Using a Car Cover
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the body when Model 3 is not being used, use a genuine Tesla car cover. Car
covers can be purchased from Tesla. See Parts and Accessories on page 252.
CAUTION: Use only a Tesla-approved car cover when Model 3 is plugged in. Using a non-Tesla car cover can
prevent the Battery from being adequately cooled during charging.
Floor Mats
To extend the life of your carpet and make them easier to clean, use genuine Tesla floor mats (see Parts and
Accessories on page 252). Maintain floor mats by regularly cleaning them and checking that they are properly
attached. Replace floor mats if they become excessively worn.
246
Owners Manual

Windshield Wiper Blades, Jets and Fluid
Topping Up Windshield Washer Fluid
The only reservoir into which you can add fluid is the windshield washer fluid reservoir, which is located behind the
front trunk. When the level is low, a message displays on the touchscreen.
To top up the washer fluid:
1. Open the hood.
2. Clean around the filler cap before opening it to prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
3. Open the filler cap.
4. While avoiding spilling, fill the reservoir until the fluid level is visible just below the filler neck. The reservoir has a
capacity of 3.2 liters.
5. Wipe up any spills immediately and wash the affected area with water.
6. Reinstall the filler cap.
CAUTION: Use only windshield washer fluid meant for automotive vehicles. Using other substances, such as
untreated water, can result in bacterial growth within the climate control system resulting in odor or potential
damage that is not covered by warranty.
NOTE: Some national or local regulations restrict the use of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are
commonly used as antifreeze in washer fluid. Use a washer fluid with limited VOC content only if it provides
adequate freeze resistance for all climates in which you drive Model 3.
CAUTION: Do not add formulated washer fluids that contain water repellent or bug wash. These fluids can
cause streaking, smearing, and squeaking or other noises.
WARNING: In temperatures below 40° F (4° C), use a washer fluid with antifreeze. In cold weather, using a
washer fluid without antifreeze can impair visibility through the windshield.
WARNING: Windshield washer fluid can irritate eyes and skin. Read and observe the instructions provided by
the washer fluid manufacturer.
Checking and Cleaning Wiper Blades
Periodically clean the edge of the wiper blades and check the rubber for cracks, splits, and roughness. If damaged,
replace the blade immediately to prevent damage to the glass and improve visibility.
Contaminants on the windshield, or on the wiper blades, can reduce the effectiveness of the wipers. Contaminants
include ice, wax spray from car washes, washer fluid with bug and/or water repellent, bird droppings, tree sap, and
other organic substances.
Follow these guidelines for cleaning:
248
Owners Manual
• Clean the windshield and wiper blades using washer fluid, isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, or non-abrasive glass
cleaner approved for use on automotive glass and rubber. Inappropriate products can cause damage or smears,
and create glare on the windshield.
• Lift the wiper arm a short distance away from the windshield, just far enough to access the wiper blade. Do not
lift a wiper arm beyond its intended position.
If the wipers remain ineffective after cleaning, replace the wiper blades.
Replacing Wiper Blades
For optimum performance, replace the wiper blades at least once a year. Replacement blades must meet the
following criteria:
• The blade on the driver's side must be 26 inches (650 mm) long and 19 inches (475 mm) long for the blade on
the passenger's side.
• Ensure the connector on the replacement blade is the same as the original blade. Different connectors may
prevent the replacement blade from connecting to the wiper arm on the vehicle.
You can purchase replacement wiper blades on the Tesla Shop.
NOTE: Only install replacement blades that are identical to the original blades. Using inappropriate blades can
damage the wiper system and windshield.
To replace the wiper blades:
1. Shift into Park and turn off the wipers.
2. Touch Controls > Service > Wiper Service Mode to move the wipers to the service position.
3. Lift the wiper arm a short distance away from the windshield, just far enough to access the wiper blade.
