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 the vehicle 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.
NOTE: You can improve the efficiency of the cabin heating by reducing your selected acceleration mode. This allows the heat
pump system to take more heat from the Battery to efficiently heat the cabin, instead of maintaining the Battery's ability to
provide peak acceleration performance. This helps to maximize driving efficiency in colder weather. Note that when
subsequently increasing the acceleration mode, the Battery requires time to warm up before the increased level of
acceleration is available.
In addition, Model SModel XModel 3Model Y features Drag Strip Mode. Using Drag Strip Mode to precondition your
Model SModel XModel 3Model Y is useful before a short distance race.
Drag Strip Mode
Drag Strip Mode preconditions the Battery and drive unit to ideal operating temperatures for timed acceleration.
Model SModel XModel 3Model Y stays in Drag Strip Mode for three hours, even if you leave the vehicle. After three hours, the
feature times out to prevent unnecessary energy consumption (for example, you leave the vehicle and forget to cancel Drag
Strip Mode).
When using Drag Strip Mode, Model SModel XModel 3Model Y consumes more energy to keep the Battery within an optimal
temperature range.
Cancel Drag Strip Mode at any time by toggling Drag Strip Mode off.
NOTE: Drag Strip Mode automatically disables Slip Start when enabled.
WARNING: Drag Strip Mode is designed for use on closed circuit driving courses only. It is the driver’s responsibility to
ensure that driving style and acceleration do not endanger or inconvenience other road users.
How to Launch the Vehicle
The touchscreen provides visual instructions on how to launch:
1. Touch Controls > Pedals & Steering > Drag Strip Mode.
2. Wait for the instrument panel to indicate that the vehicle is Peak Performance Ready.
3. With Model SModel XModel 3Model Y shifted into Drive and at a complete stop, firmly hold the brake pedal with your left
foot, then fully press the accelerator pedal.
4. Once step 3 is complete, the front suspension begins lowering into a "cheetah stance".
NOTE: Suspension lowering for "cheetah stance" significantly reduces ground clearance.
5. Wait for the instrument panel to indicate that Drag Strip Mode is Ready to Launch.
6. Once you see "Cheetah Stance Enabled" and "Ready to launch" on the instrument panel, release the brake pedal to launch
the vehicle.

Suspension
Available on Performance vehicles only, touch Controls > Dynamics > Ride & Handling for settings that provide real-time
adjustments to the suspension system to optimize both ride and handling. Choose from:
• Standard- Adjusts to a wide range of roads and driving styles, providing a fluid yet well controlled ride.
• Sport- Provides a firmer, more controlled ride that increases driver engagement and connection to the road.
NOTE: Settings for Ride & Handling are disabled when Track Mode (if equipped) is engaged. Track Mode automatically
optimizes adaptive damping settings to support aggressive driving on a closed circuit driving course (see Track Mode on page
496).
Track Mode
Track Mode, available only on Performance Model SModel XModel 3Model Y vehicles, is designed to modify the stability
control, traction control, regenerative braking, and cooling systems to increase performance and handling while driving on
closed circuit courses. Track Mode improves cornering ability by intelligently using the motors, and regenerative and
traditional braking systems. When enabled, the cooling system runs at an increased level before, during, and after aggressive
driving sessions to allow your vehicle’s systems to withstand the surplus heat.
NOTE: Track Mode is designed and calibrated for a Performance Model SModel XModel 3Model Y equipped with performance
brakes and tires. Vehicles without performance brakes and tires may experience comparatively lower performance and
endurance.
WARNING: Track Mode is designed for use on closed circuit driving courses only. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive
safely and ensure others are not endangered.
WARNING: Track Mode is designed for use by experienced track drivers familiar with the course. Do not use on public
roads. It is the driver’s responsibility to be in control of the vehicle at all times, including on the track. Because vehicle

• Post-Drive Cooling - Enable if you want the cooling systems to continue cooling the vehicle's components even after you
leave the vehicle. Cooling stops automatically when the components are sufficiently cool, or when you power
Model SModel XModel 3Model Y off and back on again. Post-Drive Cooling is useful if you want to quickly cool the
components between driving sessions. If Post-Drive Cooling is set to OFF, the components eventually cool, but it takes
longer.
• Compressor Overclock - Enable if you want to run the cooling compressor beyond its normal operating rate. Doing so
speeds up the cooling process and is useful when performing multiple aggressive driving sessions with very little time in
between
CAUTION: Extensive use of Compressor Overclock can damage or shorten the life of the compressor. Damage
caused by using this feature is not covered by the warranty.
• Save Dashcam for Laps - Enable if you want to save a video and data on a USB flash drive when using the Lap Timer. A USB
flash drive must be set up and inserted as described (see USB Drive Requirements for Recording Videos on page 657). The
USB flash drive must contain a folder named TeslaTrackMode. When enabled, Track Mode stores a video and associated
data for each lap. Track Mode also stores the car status and telemetry data with details about the vehicle's position, speed,
acceleration, use of accelerator, etc. You can then view the video recordings and analyze this data, which is saved as
a .CSV file on the USB flash drive, to determine where time is being lost or gained.
NOTE: For some vehicles manufactured after approximately November 1, 2021, the center console USB ports may only
support charging devices. Use the USB port inside the glove box for all other functions.
Track Mode allows you to save up to 20 settings profiles. To delete a chosen profile, touch Delete at the bottom of the settings
screen.

map. Once the pins are placed, press START to initiate the driving (lapping) session. When you drive Model SModel XModel
3Model Y through the start/finish location, the Lap Timer automatically starts timing the duration of the lap, resetting the timer
whenever you pass the start/finish location, and displaying the real-time delta between the current lap and the fastest lap so
far in the driving session. The map highlights the track in blue.
At the completion of each lap, the Lap Timer displays the duration of the lap. It also displays the times associated with the
previous and best laps in the driving session.
If Save Dashcam for Laps is on (see Customizing Track Mode on page 497), and a properly formatted USB flash drive is
inserted in a front USB port, Track Mode saves a video of the driving session (as recorded by the front cameras), along with
a .CSV file that provides detailed information about the lap.
NOTE: To stop the timer at the end of your driving session, touch STOP on the Lap Timer popup window.
Monitoring Vehicle Health
You can easily monitor the health of Model SModel XModel 3Model Y when using Track Mode by glancing at the car status
area of the touchscreen. The colors indicate the status of the various components, allowing you to determine the current
operating state and make decisions accordingly. The components are displayed in green when operating within their ideal
temperature range. Colors change as follows:
• The Battery displays blue when cold and red when hot.
• A brake displays blue when cold and red when hot (an early warning for overheating brakes).
• A motor displays blue when it's cold or red when it's hot.
• Dynamic readings of the tire pressures displays on the touchscreen. A tire displays blue when under-used or red when the
peak grip is exceeded.
NOTE: A component displayed in red may indicate a need to stop driving and allow the component to cool.

Y, less stability control intervention will be applied and the vehicle may not stabilize itself. Use only if you have
advance experience driving beyond grip limits.
◦ Reduced: Provides the maximum amount of stability control intervention while in track mode. Stability control is
reduced compared to on-road mode.
◦ Minimal: Provides minimal amount of stability control intervention.
◦ Off: Oversteer support is completely disabled and traction control is limited to allow wheel spin.
• Regenerative Braking - Drag the slider to choose how much regenerative braking is available. You can choose any value, in
5% increments, between 0 and 100%. Tesla recommends the 100% setting to prevent overheating the brakes.
• Post-Drive Cooling - Enable if you want the cooling systems to continue cooling the vehicle's components even after you
leave the vehicle. Cooling stops automatically when the components are sufficiently cool, or when you power
Model SModel XModel 3Model Y off and back on again. Post-Drive Cooling is useful if you want to quickly cool the
components between driving sessions. If Post-Drive Cooling is set to OFF, the components eventually cool, but it takes
longer.
• Compressor Overclock - Enable if you want to run the cooling compressor beyond its normal operating rate. Doing so
speeds up the cooling process and is useful when performing multiple aggressive driving sessions with very little time in
between

CAUTION: Extensive use of Compressor Overclock can damage or shorten the life of the compressor. Damage
caused by using this feature is not covered by the warranty.
• Save Dashcam for Laps - Enable if you want to save a video and data on a USB flash drive when using the Lap Timer. A USB
flash drive must be set up and inserted as described (see USB Drive Requirements for Recording Videos on page 657). The
USB flash drive must contain a folder named TeslaTrackMode. When enabled, Track Mode stores a video and associated
data for each lap. Track Mode also stores the car status and telemetry data with details about the vehicle's position, speed,
acceleration, use of accelerator, etc. You can then view the video recordings and analyze this data, which is saved as
a .CSV file on the USB flash drive, to determine where time is being lost or gained.
NOTE: For some vehicles manufactured after approximately November 1, 2021, the center console USB ports may only
support charging devices. Use the USB port inside the glove box for all other functions.
Track Mode allows you to save up to 20 settings profiles. To delete a chosen profile, touch Delete at the bottom of the settings
screen.
NOTE: You can not change or delete a pre-defined profile provided by Tesla.
Using the Lap Timer
When you enable Track Mode, the map displays a Lap Timer. Follow the onscreen instructions to place a start/finish pin on the
map. Once the pins are placed, press START to initiate the driving (lapping) session. When you drive Model SModel XModel
3Model Y through the start/finish location, the Lap Timer automatically starts timing the duration of the lap, resetting the timer
whenever you pass the start/finish location, and displaying the real-time delta between the current lap and the fastest lap so
far in the driving session. The map highlights the track in blue.
At the completion of each lap, the Lap Timer displays the duration of the lap. It also displays the times associated with the
previous and best laps in the driving session.
If Save Dashcam for Laps is on (see Customizing Track Mode on page 497), and a properly formatted USB flash drive is
inserted in a front USB port, Track Mode saves a video of the driving session (as recorded by the front cameras), along with
a .CSV file that provides detailed information about the lap.
NOTE: To stop the timer at the end of your driving session, touch STOP on the Lap Timer popup window.
Monitoring Vehicle Health
You can easily monitor the health of Model SModel XModel 3Model Y when using Track Mode by glancing at the car status
area of the touchscreen. The colors indicate the status of the various components, allowing you to determine the current
operating state and make decisions accordingly. The components are displayed in green when operating within their ideal
temperature range. Colors change as follows:
• The Battery displays blue when cold and red when hot.
• A brake displays blue when cold and red when hot (an early warning for overheating brakes).
• A motor displays blue when it's cold or red when it's hot.
• Dynamic readings of the tire pressures displays on the touchscreen. A tire displays blue when under-used or red when the
peak grip is exceeded.
NOTE: A component displayed in red may indicate a need to stop driving and allow the component to cool.
CAUTION: Any vehicle damage or injuries caused by using Track Mode is the driver's responsibility. The vehicle warranty
does not cover damage caused by excessive overuse of vehicle components. It also does not cover racing, autocross, or
driving in competition.
G-Meter
In Track Mode, a real-time G-Meter displays on the touchscreen. The G-Meter graphically displays peak lateral, acceleration,
and deceleration values in the form of a circular meter. The history of your drive is represented in the shaded area. The GMeter resets at the start of each driving session.
NOTE: You can swipe the G-Meter card to display a different card. However, the G-Meter displays as the default card
whenever you engage Track Mode.

Owners Manual
Track Mode
Track Mode, available only on Plaid Model SModel XModel 3Model Y vehicles, is designed to modify the stability control,
traction control, regenerative braking, and cooling systems to increase performance and handling while driving on closed
circuit courses. Track Mode improves cornering ability by intelligently using the motors, and regenerative and traditional
braking systems. When enabled, the cooling system runs at an increased level before, during, and after aggressive driving
sessions to allow your vehicle’s systems to withstand the surplus heat.
In Track Mode, adaptive suspension damping is optimized for handling and vehicle body control to promote driver confidence
in dynamic maneuvers. Ride height is automatically set to Low and the suspension no longer automatically raises for comfort
over rough surfaces.
WARNING: Track Mode is designed for use only by experienced drivers familiar with closed circuit driving courses. Do
not use on public roads. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive safely and be in control of the vehicle and all times to
ensure safety to self and others. Vehicle behavior (including traction and stability control) differs when using Track
Mode and driver must exercise caution at all times.
WARNING: For speeds above 158 mph (255 km/h), GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and GAWR (Gross Axle Weight
Ratings) must not exceed the maximums stated on the Vehicle Certification label (see Vehicle Loading on page 830).
Using Track Mode
Track Mode is always disabled when you start Model SModel XModel 3Model Y. To enable Track Mode for your current drive,
shift into Park and follow these steps:
1. Touch Controls > Pedals & Steering > Track Mode.
When enabled, TRACK displays on the instrument panel above the driving speed, and a Track Mode pane appears on the
map. The Track Mode pane displays important at-a-glance status information about the Battery and the motors (see
Monitoring Vehicle Health on page 507) and a real-time accelerometer (see G-Meter on page 507).
2. If desired, customize the Track Mode settings by touching Customize on the Track Mode pane of the touchscreen (see
Customizing Track Mode on page 506). You can also customize the Track Mode settings by touching Pedals & Steering >
Driving, then touching Customize next to the Track Mode setting.
NOTE: For optimum performance, wait for the battery and motor temperatures to reduce if highlighted in yellow or red.
3. If desired, start the Lap Timer (see Using the Lap Timer on page 507).
4. Shift into gear and GO!
If you started the Lap Timer, each time you pass the start/finish location, the timer resets for the next lap. See Using the
Lap Timer on page 507.
When Track Mode is on:
◦ Autopilot features are unavailable.
◦ The Slip Start setting is overridden.
◦ Energy usage increases.
◦ Entertainment features are unavailable.
◦ Auto Shift (Beta) is disabled (see Auto Shift (Beta) on page 404 for more information).
◦ Settings for Adaptive Suspension Damping are disabled (Track Mode automatically optimizes adaptive damping to
support aggressive driving).
Use the touchscreen setting to turn Track Mode off at any time. Powering off Model SModel XModel 3Model Y also turns
off Track Mode (although it may still appear on the touchscreen if Post-Drive cooling is in progress). When Track Mode is
off, all settings return to their previous state and all features return to their normal operating state.
NOTE: If Model SModel XModel 3Model Y powers off while Track Mode is still enabled for Post-Drive cooling, the
touchscreen displays a popup that provides quick access to re-enabling it when you power Model SModel XModel 3Model
Y back on.

CAUTION: Driver assistance features are automatically disabled when Track Mode is On. It is the driver’s responsibility
to drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times. Driver Assistance features automatically re-enable when
Track Mode is turned Off.
Top Speed, Tires, and Tire Pressures
A Model SModel XModel 3Model Y equipped with Tesla Carbon Ceramic brakes is capable of achieving a top speed of 200
mph (322 km/h).
To support this top speed, Model S must be equipped with the following tires at the recommended pressures:
Goodyear Supercar 3R
Cold - 32 psi*
Hot - 36 psi*
Hot on high load/banked tracks - 40 psi*
Michelin PS4S
Cold - 32 psi*
Hot - 40 psi*
* For both axles at curb loading conditions.
WARNING: Never attempt to drive at 200 mph (322 km/h) unless Model SModel XModel 3Model Y is equipped with the
Tesla Carbon Ceramic brake kit and the appropriate tires described above.
Customizing Track Mode
To customize Track Mode, touch Customize on the Track Mode pane that appears on the map when you enable Track Mode.
You can also access the Track Mode settings by touching Controls > Pedals & Steering, then touching Customize next to the
Track Mode setting. Choose an existing Track Mode setting from the list of pre-defined profiles provided by Tesla. Or create a
new settings profile by touching Add New Settings, entering a name for the settings profile, then adjusting these settings to
suit your preferences or driving scenario, or customize for a specific track:
• Handling Balance - Drag the slider to customize the balance of Model SModel XModel 3Model Y in a turn. If
Model SModel XModel 3Model Y is too loose, you can choose a front-biased under-steering setup. Difficult to get the
vehicle through a turn? Try a rear-biased setup to increase rotation. You can select any value, in 5% increments, between
100/0 (for 100% front biased used for under-steering) and 0/100 (for 100% rear biased used for over-steering).
• Stability Assist - Drag the slider to choose the level at which the stability control systems assist in controlling the vehicle.
You can choose any level from -10 to +10. Choosing +10 engages all stability assist systems and is similar to driving without
track mode engaged. Choosing -10 disables all stability systems and the stability of the drive rests solely on the driver. The
default setting of 0 represents a balance which provides some stability being automatically controlled and leaving some
control up to the driver.
• Regenerative Braking - Drag the slider to choose how much regenerative braking is available. You can choose any value, in
5% increments, between 0 and 100%. When using base brakes, Tesla recommends the 100% setting to prevent
overheating. Overheating is not a concern on a Model SModel XModel 3Model Y equipped with Carbon Ceramic brakes.
