If Save Dashcam for Laps is on (see
Customizing Track Mode on page 79), 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 3
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.
• 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 G-Meter resets at the
start of each driving session.
NOTE:
You can swipe the G-Meter card to
display a dierent card. However, the G-Meter
displays as the default card whenever you
engage Track Mode.
