How to Reboot a Tesla with a Black Screen?
2 Answers
Tesla black screen can be rebooted by pressing and holding both scroll wheels on the steering wheel simultaneously. Additionally, pressing and holding the buttons above the two scroll wheels on the steering wheel can reboot the instrument panel. Taking the 2021 Model X as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large SUV category, with body dimensions of 5037mm in length, 2070mm in width, and 1684mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2965mm. The curb weight is 2352kg. The 2021 Model X features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a front permanent magnet synchronous motor and a rear AC asynchronous motor, with a combined motor power of 493kW, paired with a single-speed fixed gear ratio transmission.
Last time I drove a Model 3, I also encountered a black screen. Don't panic. After parking and shifting to P, simply press and hold both scroll wheels on the steering wheel for 15 seconds, just like force restarting a phone. Press firmly until you feel a slight vibration, then release when the screen goes completely black. The Tesla logo should reappear in about 30 seconds. Note that the turn signal sound may become muffled during reboot - this is normal. If unresponsive, lock the car and walk away for 10 minutes to let it enter deep sleep mode. Upon return, it should work fine. Regular system updates help prevent such issues. Also, always connect to home WiFi before upgrading - don't use vehicle data for updates.
