How to Turn Off a Tesla?
3 Answers
Tesla's shutdown method is: 1. Step on the brake to prevent the car from moving; 2. Shift the gear to P position and press the button on the door handle. 3. Open the door, and after exiting the car, press the Tesla logo on the key once to cut off the power and shut down. Additional information: 1. Tesla's models include Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model 3 (imported), and Model X. 2. The Tesla Model 3 has a length, width, and height of 4694mm, 1850mm, and 1443mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2875mm. The body type is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan, equipped with a fixed gear ratio transmission.
The biggest takeaway from driving a Tesla is how incredibly smart it is—no need to manually turn it off like with gas cars. Every time I reach my destination, I just press the brake, shift into Park, engage the electronic parking brake, close the door, and the car enters sleep mode on its own. Especially when locking it with my phone, seeing the side mirrors automatically fold always reminds me of scenes from sci-fi movies. I remember the first time I drove a Model 3—I sat inside for five minutes before my friend told me electric cars power down automatically when you leave. Back when I drove my dad’s Passat, I still had to turn the key. This seamless operation is just perfect for a lazy person like me.
As a car mechanic with ten years of experience, Tesla's power logic really impressed me. It doesn't have the traditional ignition coil structure. After parking, you just need to shift the gear lever to park, unbuckle the seat belt, and get out directly. Once, when helping a customer move a Model Y, I saw the dashboard automatically dim after I left. In fact, the background system was still managing the battery pack's temperature, but the drive system had already powered down. I remember the dashboard lighting up when opening the door, which is called 'powering up,' while 'powering down' requires no operation at all. This is much more convenient than dealing with blown fuses in an old Volkswagen Bora.
