Tesla MODEL Y - Autopilot

Driving
• Acceleration: Adjust the amount of acceleration. Chill limits acceleration for a slightly
smoother and gentler ride, whereas Standard or Sport (depending on vehicle
configuration) provides the normal level of acceleration.
Note: When Chill is selected, Chill displays on the touchscreen above the driving speed.
• Steering Mode: Adjust the amount of eort required to turn the steering wheel. Sport
feels more responsive whereas Comfort feels easier to drive and park (see Adjusting
Steering Eort on page 51).
• Regenerative Braking: When you release the accelerator when driving, regenerative
braking slows Model Y and feeds any surplus energy back to the Battery. If set to LOW,
Model Y does not slow down as quickly, but also feeds less energy back to the Battery
(see Regenerative Braking on page 69).
Note: Regardless of the setting selected, the energy gained by regenerative braking is
reduced if the Battery is full, or is extremely cold or hot (in which case, surplus energy is
used to heat or cool it).
• Stopping Mode: Choose how you want Model Y to behave once regenerative braking has
reduced the driving speed to a very low speed, a driving gear is still engaged, and both
the accelerator and brake pedals are released. See Stopping Mode on page 69. You can
adjust this setting only when Model Y is in Park.
• Slip Start: Turn Slip Start ON to disable traction control and allow wheels to spin to make
it easier to dislodge the vehicle when stuck in mud, snow, ice, etc. (see Traction Control on
page 72).
• O-Road Assist: Turn O-Road Assist ON to disable traction control and allow wheels to
spin when driving o-road (see Traction Control on page 72).
