  2. Hop in and set up your Tesla controls. The car will remember your settings between uses based on your Tesla account.

Experiencing braking when you take your foot off the gas?

Tesla's version of one-pedal driving may be turned on. This mode engages regenerative braking anytime you release the gas pedal. To turn one-pedal driving off:

  1. Tap the menu button shaped like a car in the bottom left
  2. Tap "Pedals & Steering"
  3. Change the "Stoping mode"
    1. Creep: typical 2-pedal driving
    2. Roll: somewhere in between
    3. Hold: one-pedal driving; extended range because of increased regenerative braking
