Where to Check the Mileage on a Tesla?
2 Answers
Tesla mileage can be viewed on the central control screen. Method to reset mileage: There is a protruding small round button on the dashboard. Press and hold this button for a while to reset the dial to zero. Remove the dashboard, take off the dashboard cover, and remove the pointers for speed, fuel gauge, water temperature, RPM, etc. Use a flathead screwdriver to adjust the mileage gear, which can roll back or reset to zero. Mileage limits: Exceeding 50,000 kilometers, 100,000 kilometers, 150,000 kilometers—generally in stages of 50,000 kilometers—each stage requires significant maintenance and repairs. When purchasing a used vehicle, for those with higher mileage (over 100,000 kilometers), it's advisable to check the maintenance records (if the owner has continuous and uninterrupted regular maintenance records from a 4S store).
I've been driving a Tesla for several years and have developed a habit of checking the odometer every time I get in the car, especially when planning long trips. The operation is straightforward: tap the car icon at the bottom of the main screen, then select the "Trip" or "Journey" menu, which displays the total mileage and segmented data, such as how many kilometers have been driven during the current trip. The mobile app is even more convenient—just open the Tesla App homepage to see everything at a glance, complete with historical energy consumption graphs. Checking this helps alleviate range anxiety by estimating how much farther you can drive; it's also useful to monitor during charging to watch for battery degradation. The location might slightly adjust after system updates, but the basics remain the same. Remember, regularly checking your mileage can help optimize driving habits, such as feeling more at ease on long trips in energy-saving mode.
