How to Start and Turn Off Tesla Model 3?
2 Answers
Tesla Model 3 has a unique starting method. There is no keyhole or start button. The car powers on and starts as soon as the driver steps on the brake. After getting out of the car and locking it, the power will automatically turn off. Here are some relevant details: 1. Before starting, the door handles are retracted into the door and will pop out only after the car is started. To start the car, you need to press the Tesla logo on the key fob twice while being close to the car. Then, you can open the door and get in. 2. Tesla Model 3 is a new product in the Tesla Model X series. The Model 3 does not use an aluminum body, so the body size is reduced by 20% to offset the impact of increased weight on the range.
I've been driving a Tesla Model 3 for just a few months, and starting it is incredibly simple and convenient. When I get in the car with my phone or key card, the doors automatically unlock. Once I sit down and press the brake pedal, the screen lights up, and the car enters ready mode. Then, I just shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) to get going. Shutting it down is even easier—after parking, I shift into Park (P), make sure the car is stable, and simply step out and lock the doors. The car automatically powers down and enters standby mode. At first, I was a bit concerned about battery levels, but now I frequently use the Tesla App to check the remaining charge and set up remote features, like preheating the seats in winter. Overall, it feels much less cumbersome than traditional cars, though I've learned to always engage Park (P), especially on slopes, to prevent any accidental rolling. This small habit has noticeably improved safety in my daily driving and made the experience even more enjoyable.
