How to Turn Off Steering Wheel Heating in Tesla?
2 Answers
Tesla can turn on or off the steering wheel heating by pressing the steering wheel heating button. Introduction to Steering Wheel: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. Functions of Steering Wheel: The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft through splines, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required by the driver when turning. The steering transmission shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the generalization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and makes the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel on the vehicle more reasonable.
I've been driving a Tesla Model Y for several years, and turning off the steering wheel heater is super simple: After getting in the car, tap the temperature settings area at the bottom of the center screen, look for the steering wheel heating icon (a small steering wheel with wavy lines), and press it once to turn it gray and deactivate it. Tesla's design is very intuitive—tap once to turn it on and tap again to turn it off, so there's no confusion. The heating feels great when it's cold in winter, but I manually turn it off when the weather warms up or during long drives to save battery, as the heater consumes power and affects the driving range. My personal habit is to turn it off when the temperature exceeds 15°C to avoid unnecessary energy waste. You can also turn it off anytime via the Tesla mobile app, which is very convenient. Overall, mastering this small trick makes driving more efficient and comfortable.
