When driving, the touchscreen displays driving-related information such as speed, range, warnings, etc. You also use the touchscreen to control many of the features that, in traditional cars, are controlled using physical buttons (for example, adjusting mirrors). You can also use the touchscreen to customize Model 3 to suit your preferences. Warning: Paying attention to road and traffic conditions must always be your highest priority when driving. To ensure the safety of vehicle occupants as well as other road users, using the touchscreen to adjust settings should be done only when road and traffic conditions permit. The main areas of the touchscreen are summarized here: Note: The following image is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle options, software version and market region, your touchscreen may appear slightly different. 1. Car Status. This area dynamically displays the current status of Model 3 as you drive, park, open doors, turn lights on, etc. Some of this information is typically displayed on a vehicle's instrument cluster. Pay attention to this area when driving as it displays critical information such as driving speed, warning messages, etc. (see Car Status on page 39). When the car is off, you can open the trunks or charge port door. 2.

Always follow the child safety seat manufacturer's instructions when installing. Warning: Ensure that all seat belts are worn correctly. An improperly worn seat belt increases the risk of injury or death if a collision occurs. Warning: Do not wear seat belts over hard, fragile or sharp items in clothing, such as pens, keys, eyeglasses, etc. The pressure from the seat belt on such items can cause injury. Warning: Seat belts should not be worn with any part of the strap twisted. Warning: Each seat belt assembly must be used by one occupant only. It is dangerous to put a seat belt around a child being carried on an occupant†s lap. Warning: Seat belts that have been worn in a collision must be inspected or replaced by Tesla, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

Airbags Location of Airbags Airbags are located in the approximate areas shown here. Airbag warning information is printed on the sun visors. Model 3 is equipped with an airbag and lap/shoulder belt at both front outboard seating positions. The airbag is a supplemental restraint at those seating positions. All occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat belts whether or not an airbag is also provided at their seating position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. 1.

Seat-mounted side airbags protect the thorax region of the torso and the pelvis. They inflate in the event of severe side impact or severe offset frontal impact. The seat-mounted side airbags on both the impacted and non-impacted side of the vehicle will inflate. When the backrest of an outboard seat is fully folded in the forward position, its associated side airbag does not inflate. • Curtain airbags: Curtain airbags help protect the head and typically inflate only if a severe side impact occurs, or if the vehicle rolls over. Curtain airbags on both the impacted and non-impacted side of the vehicle will inflate. Seating and Safety Restraints 31

Under normal conditions, it should remain on to ensure maximum safety. This indicator flashes on the touchscreen whenever the traction control system is actively controlling brake pressure and motor power to minimize wheel spin. If the indicator stays on, a fault is detected with the traction control system. Contact Tesla Service. Warning: Traction control cannot prevent collisions caused by driving dangerously or turning too sharply at high speeds. Warning: If the above indicator remains illuminated in situations in which you have not enabled Slip Start (described next), the traction control system may not be operating correctly. Contact Tesla Service immediately. Allowing Wheel Slip To allow the wheels to spin at a limited speed, you can enable Slip Start. Slip Start can be enabled only when Model 3 is moving 30 mph (48 km/h) or slower. Slip Start automatically disables when the speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h). Under normal conditions, Slip Start should not be enabled. Enable it only in circumstances where you deliberately want the wheels to spin, such as: • Starting on a loose surface, such as gravel or snow. • Driving in deep snow, sand or mud. • Rocking out of a hole or deep rut. To allow the wheels to spin, touch Controls > Driving > Traction Control > Slip Start. The touchscreen displays an alert message when Slip Start is enabled. 48 Model 3 Owner's Manual

Please use this feature with caution, staying prepared to take immediate action at any time. Warning: Autopark's performance depends on the ability of the ultrasonic sensors to determine the vehicle's proximity to curbs, objects, and other vehicles. Note: The parking icon appears only if the vehicle's position and/or the circumstances of the surrounding area are such that Autopark can determine an appropriate driving path. If Autopark cannot determine an appropriate path (for example, when driving on a narrow street where moving into the parking space causes the front of the vehicle to extend into the adjacent lane), you can either reposition the vehicle, find a different parking space, or park manually. 2. Check to determine if the detected parking space is appropriate and safe.

Autopark Using Summon Note: Summon is a BETA feature. Summon is designed and intended for use only on a private residential property where the surrounding area is familiar and predictable. When using Summon, you must continually monitor the vehicle. It is the driver's responsibility to use this feature safely, responsibly, and as intended. With Summon, you can move Model 3 in and out of a parking space from outside the vehicle using the mobile app. You can also customize Summon to park or retrieve Model 3 with a single touch of a button and to initiate parking automatically after you double-press the Park gear and exit the vehicle. Using data from the ultrasonic sensors, Summon maneuvers Model 3 forward or reverse into a parking space. When parking is complete Summon shifts Model 3 into Park. Parking is complete when: • Model 3 detects an obstacle in its driving path (within a chosen distance) • Summon has moved Model 3 the maximum distance of 39 feet (12 meters) OR • In the case of reversing, Summon has reached the maximum Summon Distance. To use Summon: • FIRST TIME ONLY: Enable Summon and customize how it works (see Customizing Summon on page 70). • Position Model 3 for parking (see Position the Vehicle for Parking on page 71). • Initiate the parking maneuver using the mobile app or by double-pressing the Park gear. Detailed instructions for each method are provided later. You can summon Model 3 back to its original position if you previously auto parked it and the vehicle has remained in the Park gear. Then, using the mobile app, simply specify the opposite direction. Summon moves the vehicle along the original path provided the environment has not changed (i.e. no obstructions have been introduced). If obstacles are detected, Summon attempts to avoid the obstacles while staying as close as possible to its original path. To cancel Summon and stop Model 3 at any time during a parking maneuver, use the mobile app or (if sitting in the vehicle) interact with the steering wheel, brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or gear stalk. Note: If you want Summon to move multiple times in the same direction, up to the maximum of 39 feet (12 meters), cancel Summon and then re-initiate the parking process, choosing the same direction. Note: Summon can move Model 3 a short distance laterally to avoid an obstacle but in doing so, does not return the vehicle to its driving path (i.e. Summon does not attempt to move Model 3 around an obstacle). Warning: Summon is unable to operate as intended if the ultrasonic sensors are obstructed by a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive products (such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.). Warning: Model 3 cannot detect obstacles that are located lower than the bumper, very narrow (i.e. bicycles), or hanging from a ceiling. In addition, many unforeseen circumstances can impair Summon's ability to move in or out of a parking space and as a result, Summon may not appropriately steer Model 3. Therefore, you must continually monitor the vehicle's movement and surroundings and remain prepared to stop Model 3 at any time. Customizing Summon Before operating Summon, use the touchscreen to enable it. Touch Controls > Autopilot > Summon > ON. Then touch Customize to specify how Summon operates whenever it parks or retrieves your vehicle: 70 Model 3 Owner's Manual

Autopark • Bumper Clearance: Set the distance that you want Summon to stop from a detected object. For example, you may want Summon to stop within just a few inches of the garage wall. This distance applies only to objects detected directly in front of (when moving forward) or behind (when reversing) Model 3. • Summon Distance: Specify the distance Model 3 travels when backing out of a parking space. • Side Clearance: Allow Model 3 to enter and exit very narrow parking spaces. Warning: Parking in a narrow space limits the ability of the sensors to accurately detect the location of obstacles, increasing the risk of damage to Model 3 and/or surrounding objects. • Require Continuous Press (U.S. Only): By default, Summon requires that you press and hold a button on the mobile app to move the vehicle during the parking process. When you set Require Continuous Press to NO, you can: • Park Model 3 by simply double pressing the Park gear, specifying the direction on the touchscreen (if reversing), then exiting the vehicle. • Park or retrieve Model 3 with a single touch of a button on the mobile app. • Use Auto HomeLink (if equipped): Set to ON if you want to activate HomeLink to open/close a programmed garage door that meets safety standards during the parking process. If enabled, the garage door automatically opens and closes when Model 3 enters or exits. Note: This setting automatically opens and closes the garage door only when using Summon. To automate HomeLink in other situations (such as when driving), you must access the ® HomeLink device's main settings by touching Controls > HomeLink (see HomeLink Universal Transceiver on page 99). Warning: Do not use this setting with gates or with a garage door that does not meet safety standards. A garage door opener that does not have safety stop and reverse features (cannot detect an object in its path and then automatically stop and reverse) does not meet these standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of injury or death. Note: All settings associated with Summon are retained until you manually change them. Position the Vehicle for Parking Before operating Summon, align Model 3 laterally with the parking space so Model 3 can move straight into the space in either Drive or Reverse. You must also position Model 3 within 39 feet (12 meters) of the parking space (the maximum distance that Summon can move Model 3). If applicable, open your garage door. As described earlier, this can be automated using Auto HomeLink (if equipped). Note: Use Summon on flat driveways only where a raised concrete edge does not exceed approximately 1 in (2.5 cm). Operating Summon with the Mobile App On the mobile app, start Summon and hold down the forward or reverse button to move Model 3 into the parking space. (U.S. Only): If Require Continuous Press is set to NO (see Customizing Summon on page 70), you do not need to hold down the button, just touch and release. Summon shifts Model 3 into Drive or Reverse (based on the direction you specified) and drives into the parking space. Note: Summon cancels if your phone enters sleep mode or is turned off. Initiate Automatic Parking Before Exiting the Vehicle (U.S. Only) If Require Continuous Press is set to NO, you can initiate the parking maneuver from inside Model 3 before exiting: Driver Assistance 71

Autopark 1. While sitting in Model 3 with the vehicle powered on, double press the Park gear. The touchscreen displays a message indicating that Summon is engaged, and the touchscreen displays a popup window. 2. On the touchscreen, choose the direction of travel. 3. Exit Model 3 and close the door. Note: All doors and trunks must be closed. Note: To cancel the parking maneuver before exiting the vehicle, touch Cancel on the popup window. Note: If no direction of travel was selected on the touchscreen, Model 3 will not attempt the parking maneuver after you exit the vehicle. Summon now drives Model 3 into the parking space according to the direction you specified on the touchscreen. Stopping or Canceling Summon You can stop Model 3 at any time while Summon is active by using the mobile app. Summon also cancels when: • A door handle is pressed or a door is opened. • You interact with the steering wheel, brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or gear stalk. • Model 3 detects an obstacle and cannot move forward for more than approximately two seconds. • Summon has moved Model 3 the maximum distance of approximately 39 feet (12 meters). Limitations Summon is unlikely to operate as intended in the following types of situations: • The road is sloped. Summon is designed to operate on flat roads only. • Summon has detected a raised concrete edge when moving forward into the parking location. Summon does not drive forward over an edge that is higher than approximately 1 in (2.5 cm). • One or more of the ultrasonic sensors is damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by mud, ice, or snow). • Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, or extremely hot or cold temperatures) are interfering with sensor operation. • The sensors are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves. Warning: The list above does not represent an exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with proper operation of Autopark's Summon feature. It is the driver's responsibility to remain in control of Model 3 at all times. Pay close attention whenever Summon is actively moving Model 3 and stay prepared to take immediate action. Failure to do so can result in serious property damage, injury or death. 72 Model 3 Owner's Manual

Climate Controls • To ensure the climate control system operates efficiently, close all windows and ensure that the exterior grill in front of the windshield is free of ice, snow, leaves, and other debris. • In very humid conditions, it is normal for the windshield to fog slightly when you first turn on the air conditioning. • It is normal for a small pool of water to form under Model 3 when parked. Extra water produced by the dehumidifying process is drained underneath. • To reduce the cabin temperature in hot weather conditions, the fan may turn on to vent the cabin when the vehicle is parked (this occurs only if the battery's charge level is above 20%.) Cabin Air Filter Model 3 has an air filter that prevents pollen, industrial fallout, road dust and other particles from entering through the vents. The air filter should be replaced when necessary.

Charging Instructions Opening the Charge Port The charge port is located on the left side of Model 3, behind a door that is part of the rear tail light assembly. Park so that the charge cable easily reaches the charge port. With Model 3 unlocked (or an authenticated phone is within range) and in Park, press and release the button on the Tesla charge cable to open the charge port door. You can also open the charge port door using any of these methods: • On the touchscreen's image of Model 3, touch the charging icon. • On the touchscreen, touch the charging icon, and then press OPEN CHARGE PORT. • Press the bottom of the charge port door when Model 3 is unlocked or an authenticated phone is nearby. Note: The Tesla "T" lights up white when you open the charge port door. If you do not insert a charge cable into the charge port within a few minutes after opening the charge port door, the charge port door closes. If this happens, use the touchscreen to open the charge port door again Caution: Do not try to force the charge port door open. Charging 107

Charging Instructions Plugging In If desired, use the touchscreen to change the charge limit and the charging current (see Charging Status and Settings on page 109). To charge at a public charging station, attach an adapter to the station†s charging connector. The most commonly used adapter(s) for each market region are supplied with Model 3. Depending on the charging equipment you are using, you may need to start and stop charging using a control on the charging equipment. If you are using the Mobile Connector, plug it into the power outlet before plugging it into Model 3. Align the connector to the charge port and insert fully. When the connector is properly inserted, charging begins automatically after Model 3: • Engages a latch that holds the connector in place; • Shifts into Park (if it was in any other gear); • Heats or cools the Battery, if needed. If the Battery requires heating or cooling, you may notice a delay before charging begins. Note: Whenever Model 3 is plugged in but not actively charging, it draws energy from the wall instead of using energy stored in the Battery. For example, if you are sitting in Model 3 and using the touchscreen while parked and plugged in, Model 3 draws energy from the wall outlet instead of the Battery. Caution: The connector end of the charge cable can damage the paint if dropped onto the vehicle. During Charging During charging, the charge port light (the Tesla "T" logo) pulses green and the touchscreen displays charging status. The frequency at which the charge port light pulses slows down as the charge level approaches full. When charging is complete, the light stops pulsing and is solid green. Note: If Model 3 is locked, the light around the charge port does not light up. If the light around the charge port lights up red while charging, a fault is detected. Check the touchscreen for a message describing the fault. A fault can occur due to something as common as a power outage. If a power outage occurs, charging resumes automatically when power is restored. Note: When charging, particularly at high currents, the refrigerant compressor and the fan operate as needed to keep the Battery cool. Therefore, it is normal to hear sounds during charging. Note: Air conditioning performance is generally not affected by charging. However, under certain circumstances (for example, you are charging at high currents during a particularly warm day), the air coming from the vents may not be as cool as expected and a message displays on the touchscreen. This is normal behavior and ensures that the Battery stays within an optimum temperature range while charging to support longevity and optimum performance. Warning: Never spray liquid at a high velocity (for example, if using a pressure washer) towards the charge port while charging. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or damage to the vehicle, charging equipment, or property. Stopping Charging Stop charging at any time by disconnecting the charge cable or touching Stop Charging on the touchscreen. Note: To prevent unauthorized unplugging of the charge cable, Model 3 must be unlocked or able to recognize your authenticated phone before you can disconnect the charge cable. To disconnect the charge cable: 108 Model 3 Owner's Manual

Charging Instructions 1. Press and hold the button on a Tesla connector to release the latch. You can also touch Stop Charging on the charging screen (see Charging Status and Settings on page 109). 2. Pull the connector from the charge port. Note: The charge port automatically closes within approximately 10 seconds of removing the connector from the charge port. Caution: Tesla strongly recommends leaving Model 3 plugged in when not in use. This maintains the Battery at the optimum level of charge. Charge Port Light • WHITE: The charge port door is open. Model 3 is ready to charge and the connector is not inserted, or the latch is released and the connector is ready to be removed. • BLUE: Model 3 detects that a connector has been plugged in, but charging has not started. Either Model 3 is preparing to charge, or a charging session is scheduled to begin at a specified future time. • BLINKING GREEN: Charging is in progress. As Model 3 approaches a full charge, the frequency of the blinking slows. • SOLID GREEN: Charging is complete. • SOLID AMBER: The connector is not fully plugged in. Realign the connector to the charge port and insert fully. • BLINKING AMBER: Model 3 is charging at a reduced current (AC charging only). • RED: A fault is detected and charging has stopped. Check the touchscreen for a fault message. Charging Status and Settings The charging screen displays on the touchscreen whenever the charge port door is open. To display charge settings at any time, touch the charging icon on the left side of the touchscreen. Note: The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only and may vary slightly depending on software version and market region. The charging screen displays a representative image of your Model 3's Battery and information about your charging session including: • Charging rate (in kilowatt hours, miles per hour, or kilometers per hour, depending on your Display setting). • Added energy or estimated increase in driving distance achieved so far in this charging session (in kilowatt hours, miles per hour, or kilometers per hour, depending on your Display setting). • Current being supplied/available from the connected power supply. • Voltage being supplied by the charge cable. Note: To access the setting to change how energy units are displayed, touch Controls > Display. Charging 109

Charging Instructions 1. Charge status messages (such as Charging, Charging Scheduled) display here. 2. Adjust the charge limit by touching Set Charge Limit, and drag the arrow to move the charge limit setting. The setting you choose applies to immediate and scheduled charging sessions. 3. Set a recurring charging schedule for the location. When you set a scheduled charging time, Model 3 displays the set time when you are parked at the scheduled location. If, at the scheduled time, Model 3 is not plugged in at the location, charging starts as soon as you plug it in, provided you plug it in within six hours of the scheduled time. If plugged in after six hours, charging does not start until the scheduled time on the next day. To override this setting, touch Start Charging or Stop Charging (see next item in this list). 4. Touch to open the charge port door or to start (or stop) charging. 5. The current automatically sets to the maximum current available from the attached charge cable, unless it was previously reduced to a lower level. If needed, touch the up/down arrows to change the current (for example, you may want to reduce the current if you are concerned about overloading a domestic wiring circuit shared by other equipment). It is not possible to set the charging current to a level that exceeds the maximum available from the attached charge cable. When you change the current, Model 3 remembers the location. If you charge at the same location, you do not need to change it again. Note: If Model 3 is charging and detects unexpected fluctuations in input power, the charging current is automatically reduced by 25%. For example, a 40 amp current is reduced to 30 amps. This automatic current reduction increases robustness and safety in situations when an external problem exists (for example, a home wiring system, receptacle, adapter or cord is unable to meet its rated current capacity). As a precaution, when Model 3 automatically reduces current, it saves the reduced current at the charging location. Although you can manually increase it, Tesla recommends charging at the lower current until the underlying problem is resolved and the charging location can provide consistent power. 110 Model 3 Owner's Manual

Charging Instructions Note: If charging at a Tesla Supercharger, the charging screen also displays information about your previous or current Supercharger session (see Supercharger Usage Fees and Idle Fees on page 111). Supercharger Usage Fees and Idle Fees When charging using a Tesla supercharger, PAID SUPERCHARGING information displays at the bottom of the charging screen. This information includes the location, the time that charging started, and an estimate of how much the session will cost. When you stop charging, the final cost displays until a new Supercharging session begins. If free charging is applicable, the cost displays as zero. Regardless of whether or not you are eligible for free charging, you are subject to idle fees. Idle fees are designed to encourage drivers to move their vehicle from the Supercharger when charging is complete and are in effect whenever at least half of the Superchargers at a site are occupied. The Tesla mobile app notifies you when charging nears completion, and again when charging is complete. Additional notifications are sent if idle fees are incurred. Idle fees are waived if you move your vehicle within five minutes. Log into MY TESLA to view fees and details about Supercharger sessions, track the remaining balance of free credits, set up a payment method, and make payments. Once a payment method is saved, fees are automatically paid from your account. Charging 111

Wheels and Tires Understanding Tire Markings Laws require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire. It also provides the tire identification number (TIN) for certification of safety standards, and in case of a recall. 1 Tire category. P indicates that the tire is for passenger vehicles. 2 Tire width. This 3-digit number is the width (in millimeters) of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. 3 Aspect ratio. This 2-digit number is the sidewall height as a percentage of the tread width. So, if the tread width is 205 mm, and the aspect ratio is 50, the sidewall height is 102 mm. 4 Tire construction. R indicates that the tire is of Radial ply construction. 5 Wheel diameter. This 2-digit number is the diameter of the wheel rim in inches. 6 Load index. This 2 or 3-digit number is the weight each tire can support. This number is not always shown. 7 Speed rating. When stated, indicates the maximum speed (in mph) at which the tire can be used for extended periods. Q=99 mph (160 km/h), R=106 mph (170 km/h), S=112 mph (180 km/h), T=118 mph (190 km/h), U=124 mph (200 km/h), H=130 mph (210 km/h), V=149 mph (240 km/h), W=168 mph (270 km/h), Y=186 mph (300 km/h). 8 Tire composition and materials. The number of plies in both the tread area and the sidewall area indicates how many layers of rubber coated material make up the structure of the tire. Information is also provided on the type of materials used. 9 Maximum tire load. The maximum load which can be carried by the tire. 10 Maximum permissible inflation pressure. This pressure should not be used for normal driving. Specifications 139

Wheels and Tires 11 U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN). Begins with the letters DOT and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next 2 digits/letters represent the plant code where it was manufactured, and the last 4 digits represent the week and year of manufacture. For example, the number 1712 is used to represent the 17th week of 2012. The other numbers are marketing codes used at the manufacturer†s discretion. This information can be used to contact consumers if a tire defect requires a recall. 12 Treadwear grade. This number indicates the tire†s wear rate. The higher the treadwear number is, the longer it should take for the tread to wear down. A tire rated at 400, for example, lasts twice as long as a tire rated at 200. 13 Traction grade. Indicates a tire†s ability to stop on wet roads. A higher graded tire should allow you to stop your vehicle in a shorter distance than a tire with a lower grade. Traction is graded from highest to lowest as AA, A, B, and C. 14 Temperature grade. The tire†s resistance to heat is grade A, B, or C, with A indicating the greatest resistance. This grading is provided for a correctly inflated tire, which is being used within its speed and loading limits. 140 Model 3 Owner's Manual

Wheels and Tires Uniform Tire Quality Grading acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics. The following information relates to the tire grading system developed by the National Temperature Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which grades tires by tread wear, The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, traction and temperature performance. Tires and C, representing the tire†s resistance to the that have deep tread, and winter tires, are generation of heat and its ability to dissipate exempt from these marking requirements. heat when tested under controlled conditions Where applicable, quality grades are found on on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. the tire†s sidewall between the tread shoulder Sustained high temperature can cause the tire and maximum section width.

Grades B and A Note: In addition to the marking requirements, represent levels of performance on the passenger car tires must conform to Federal laboratory test wheel that exceed the Safety Requirements. minimum requirements. Treadwear Warning: A tire†s temperature grade is established for a tire that is properly The treadwear grade is a comparative rating inflated and not overloaded. Excessive based on the wear rate of the tire when tested speed, under-inflation, or excessive under controlled conditions on a specified loading, either separately or in government test course. combination, can cause heat buildup and For example, a tire graded 150 wears one and possible tire failure. a half times better on a government test course than a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends on the actual conditions of their use, however, and can depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, road characteristics, and climate. Traction The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are: AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent a tire†s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C might have poor traction performance. Warning: Defective tires are dangerous. Do not drive if a tire is damaged, excessively worn, or is inflated to an incorrect pressure. The safety of the vehicle and occupants can be adversely affected. Check tires regularly for wear and to ensure there are no cuts, bulges or exposure of the ply/cord structure. Warning: The traction grade assigned to the tire is based on straight-ahead braking tests, and does not include: Specifications 141
