When it comes to electric cars, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla brand. The American automobile company has made a real revolution in mass production electric cars. Of course, Tesla cars also have very different and interesting hidden features. In this news, we have included 8 hidden Tesla features for you. Here are the details…
Tesla secret features list!
1- Hidden Tesla blind spot feature
In fact, this feature is actively used thanks to the cameras at many points of the vehicle. However, what we will explain is how you can use the feature when changing lanes or signaling. We can say that this feature is a kind of “hidden setting”. To use the live blind spot system when changing lanes, you need to activate the “turn signal feature” from the vehicle’s settings menu.
2- Bioweapon Defense mode
We continue with an exciting feature such as “chemical weapons protection system” considering its name. Tesla cleans the air it puts into the car thanks to its “Bioweapon Defense” mode. The HEPA filter is activated to prevent harmful particles and fumes from reaching you. To use the feature, it is enough to touch the “Bioweapon Defense” icon, which symbolizes a radioactive virus, from the ventilation menu.
3- Adding PIN code to the glove box
There is no manual lock to open the glove compartment in Tesla models. Instead, there is a menu from which we can open the dashboard on the vehicle’s screen. Here, Tesla offers you the right to set a password to turn your glove compartment into a safe safe. You can use the feature by activating it from the vehicle’s settings menu.
4- Green light warning system
Tesla models with autonomous driving features can control the entire environment in traffic. What is meant by the entire environment here includes moving and immobile objects such as pedestrians, cars and buildings, as well as traffic signs. Tesla models can “warn you with sound” when the traffic light turns green, with an adjustment you make in Settings>Autonomous Driving features. This prevents problems such as distraction experienced by users at traffic lights.
5- Hidden door opening handle
The doors of many Tesla models are opened via an electrical button or application. This idea makes many users happy at first. However, in an emergency or a problem with the vehicle’s electrical system, users need a manual door opening handle. Although it is not very noticeable, this lever is located in vehicles. There is a manual door opening handle just behind the handles on the doors.
A simple mistake but one that will have huge consequences! Mercedes-Benz shared all its trade secrets and open source codes!
6- Joe Mode
This feature concerns the passengers sitting in the back rather than the vehicle user. There are many driver-oriented sound warning systems in the vehicle, such as signals, warnings and parking sensors. On short-distance journeys, these sounds do not disturb the passengers behind, but on long journeys they can be a bit annoying. You can make these sounds quieter by activating Joe Mode in your vehicle’s Settings>Security section.
7- Sending an address from the phone
We no longer have the old habits of writing addresses on a piece of paper or learning them by calling. Instead, words like “brother, give me a position” have settled into our lives. When you share the location information from any application on your phone with the Tesla application, the location is automatically sent to your vehicle.
8- Battery-range switch icon change
This is actually a feature based on habit. Some users want to see the remaining range in kilometers, while others want to see the remaining battery percentage. You can make this change from the Settings application, but there is also a more practical way. You can switch between the two icons by pressing the range/battery icon to the left of the battery sign.
