Tesla S - Touchscreen Overview

The main components of the touchscreen are
shown here. The touchscreen is used to
control many features that, in traditional cars,
are controlled using physical buttons (for
example, adjusting the heating and air
conditioning, headlights, etc.). You can also
use the touchscreen to customize Model S to
suit your preferences.
WARNING: Always pay attention to
road and trac conditions when
driving. To minimize driver distraction
and ensure the safety of vehicle
occupants as well as other road users,
avoid using the touchscreen to adjust
settings while the vehicle is in motion.
NOTE: The image below is provided for
demonstration purposes only. Depending on
vehicle options, software version and market
region, your touchscreen may appear slightly
