Customizing Track Mode
To customize Track Mode, touch Track Mode
Settings on the Track Mode popup window
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 3 in a
turn. If
Model 3 is too loose, you can
choose a front-biased under-steering
setup. Dicult 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 for controllable driving in which
stability systems remain engaged,
whereas -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%. 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
suciently cool, or when you power
Model 3 o 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.
• 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 23). 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 3 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.
