Where is the gear shift located in a Tesla?
1 Answers
Tesla's gear shift is located behind the steering wheel, known as a column shifter. The operation of Tesla's column shifter is as follows: pulling up engages reverse gear, pushing down engages drive gear, a light tap in the middle puts it in neutral, and there is a chrome button on the right side of the shifter—pressing it to the left engages park (P) gear. Additionally, holding down the P gear button activates the electronic parking brake, which is recommended when parking on inclined surfaces.
