Where to Check the Mileage on a Tesla?

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.

When I first got the car, I didn't know how to check the mileage, but I figured it out after some exploration: Sit in the driver's seat, turn on the screen, find the car icon in the lower left corner and click it, then select the 'Trip' option on the pop-up page to display the total kilometers. There are two types of data—the total mileage records the vehicle's overall usage, while the single trip shows the distance traveled since the current departure. After setting up a personal profile, the data syncs to the cloud. Beginners will get the hang of it after trying a few times. The official website tutorial provides detailed instructions on the path. Check the range before driving to avoid running out of power midway; it can also be combined with tire pressure monitoring to prevent accidents.

Tesla's mileage display is intuitively designed in the vehicle UI: tap the "Vehicle" icon on the central touchscreen, then access the "Trips" tab to view the data. Technically speaking, it includes both the Odometer and Trip Meters, with real-time synchronization to the mobile app; exporting data to USB for energy consumption trend analysis is quite interesting. Software updates may optimize the location, but the logic remains unchanged. By the way, understanding the energy consumption ratio significantly impacts range; long-term tracking can reveal battery health changes.

As someone who pays close attention to vehicle condition, I always check the mileage. For Tesla: turn on the screen, tap the vehicle icon, and select the trip reading in the service section. Mileage is crucial for maintenance plans—high mileage may require tire wear or brake system inspections; regular monitoring can extend component lifespan. Operate safely after parking, avoid distractions while driving; high mileage also indicates reduced range, so planning charging stops in advance is advisable.
