When it comes to electric cars, the Tesla brand comes to mind first. The American car company has made a real revolution in mass production electric cars. Of course, Tesla cars also have very different and interesting hidden features. In this news, we have included 8 hidden Tesla features for you. Here are the details…
Tesla hidden features list!
1- Secret Tesla blind spot feature
In fact, this feature is actively used thanks to the cameras at many points of the vehicle. However, we will explain how you can use the feature when changing lanes or signalling. We can say that this feature is a kind of “hidden setting”. To use the live blind spot system when changing lanes, you need to activate the “turn signal feature” from the vehicle’s settings menu.
2- Bioweapon Defence mode
Looking at the name, we continue with an exciting feature such as “chemical weapons protection system”. Tesla cleans the air it gives into the car thanks to the “Bioweapon Defence” mode. The hepa filter is activated to prevent harmful particles and fumes from reaching you. To use the feature, just tap the “Bioweapon Defence” icon, which symbolises a radioactive virus, from the ventilation menu.
3- Adding a PIN code to the torpedo
Tesla models do not have a manual lock to open the glove box. Instead, there is a menu where we can open the glove box via the vehicle’s screen. Here, Tesla offers you the right to set a password to make your glove box a secure safe. You can use the feature by activating it from the vehicle’s settings menu.
4- Green light warning system
Tesla models with autonomous driving features can control the entire environment in traffic. Here, the whole environment includes moving and immobile objects such as pedestrians, cars and structures, as well as traffic signs. Tesla models can “warn you with sound” when the green light turns on in traffic with a setting you can make in Settings>Autonomous Driving features. This prevents problems such as distraction experienced by users at traffic lights.
5- Hidden door opening handle
The doors of many Tesla models open via an electrical button or app. This idea makes many users happy at first. However, in case of an emergency or a problem with the vehicle’s electrical system, users need a manual door opening handle. Although it is not very noticeable, this lever is located in vehicles. There is a manual door opening lever just behind the handles on the doors.
6- Joe Mode
This feature concerns the passengers sitting in the back rather than the vehicle user. There are many driver-oriented sound warning systems such as signal, warning, parking sensor in the vehicle. On short-distance journeys, these sounds do not disturb the passengers in the back, but they can be a bit annoying on the long road. By activating Joe Mode in Settings>Safety section of your vehicle, you can make these sounds more muted.
7- Sending address from the phone
We no longer have habits such as writing addresses on a piece of paper or learning them by calling. Instead, words like “Abi, send me a location” have settled in our lives. When you share the location information from any application on your phone with the Tesla application, the location automatically comes to your vehicle.
8- Battery-range transition icon change
This is actually a feature based on habit. Some users want to see the remaining range in kilometres, while others want to see the remaining battery percentage. You can make this change from the Settings app, but there is a more practical way. You can switch between the two icons by pressing the range/battery icon to the left of the battery sign.
