How to Turn Off the Screen on a Tesla?
2 Answers
Tesla can turn off the screen by clicking Controls, then selecting Safety & Security, and clicking Power Off. Here is some information about Tesla: 1. Operation Introduction: Currently, Tesla's large screen does not support a standalone screen-off function, but you can use Tesla's Screen Clean Mode to temporarily turn off the screen. Click Maintenance - Screen Clean Mode, and the screen will automatically turn off. To turn it back on, press and hold the restore button for 3 seconds to relight the screen. 2. Central Console Configuration: The central console is equipped with traditional USB wired connections and also supports simple and quick Bluetooth connections. Once the central console is connected to a phone, it can share contacts, music, and other information.
When driving my Tesla, I often think about turning off the screen to avoid distractions at night. The method is quite simple: first, pull down the menu bar at the top of the screen, which works on all new models, like the Model 3 and Y. There's a brightness slider icon—drag it all the way to the left or simply tap 'Off,' and the screen dims, though it doesn't go completely black since basic navigation prompts remain visible. Tesla's design is really smart; the screen integrates too many functions like climate control and navigation, so I only recommend briefly turning off auxiliary displays without affecting daily use. Additionally, this setting is saved automatically, so the screen stays dim the next time you drive—convenient and safe. Remember, completely turning it off isn't possible, but dimming achieves a similar effect, reducing glare effectively. Highly recommend trying it!
