Speed Limit Mode
Speed Limit Mode allows you to limit the acceleration and maximum speed – between 50 and
90 mph (80 and 145 km/h) – of your Model 3. This feature is protected by a 4-digit PIN that you
create when enabling it for the
first time, and which must be entered whenever you want to
disable and enable it.
If your Model 3 comes within approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) of the selected maximum speed, a
chime sounds and text appears on the touchscreen above the driving speed. Additionally, your
mobile app sends you a
notification.
To enable Speed Limit Mode:
1. Ensure the vehicle is in Park.
2. Touch Controls > Safety & Security > Speed Limit Mode on the touchscreen or CONTROLS
in your mobile app.
3. Select the maximum driving speed that you would like to limit the vehicle to.
4. Drag the slider to the ON position.
