engaged, whereas -10 disables all stability systems
and the stability of the drive rests solely on the
driver. The default setting of 0 represents a balance
which provides some stability being automatically
controlled and leaving some control up to the driver.
•
Regenerative Braking - Choose how much
regenerative braking is available. You can choose
any value, in 5% increments, between 0 and 100%.
Tesla recommends the 100% setting to help avoid
overheating the brakes.
• Post-Drive Cooling - Set to ON if you want the
cooling systems to continue cooling the vehicle's
components even after you leave the vehicle.
Cooling stops automatically when the components
are
suciently cool, or when you power Model 3 o
and back on again. Post-Drive Cooling is useful if
you want to quickly cool the components between
driving sessions. If Post-Drive Cooling is set to OFF,
the components eventually cool, but it takes longer.
• Compressor Overclock - Set to ON if you want to
run the cooling system in overdrive. Doing so speeds
up the cooling process and is useful when
performing multiple aggressive driving sessions with
very little time in between.
CAUTION:
Extensive use of Compressor
Overclock can damage or shorten the life of
the compressor. Damage caused by using this
feature is not covered by the warranty.
•
Save Dashcam for Laps - Set to ON if you want to
save a video and data of the Track Mode driving
session on a USB flash drive. A USB flash drive must
be set up and inserted as described in
USB Flash
Drive Requirements for Videos and Recording on
page 143. The USB flash drive must contain a folder
named "TeslaTrackMode" (without the quotation
marks). When enabled, Track Mode stores a video of
each lap in a driving session when using the Lap
Timer. Track Mode also stores the car status and
telemetry data with details about the vehicle's
position, speed, acceleration, use of accelerator, etc.
You can then analyze this data, which is stored as
a .CSV
file on the USB flash drive, to determine
where time is being lost or gained (even on a per tire
level).
Track Mode allows you to save up to 20 Track Mode
profiles. To delete a chosen profile, touch Delete at the
bottom of the settings window.
NOTE: You can not change or delete a pre-defined
profile provided by Tesla.
Using the Lap Timer
When you enable Track Mode, the map displays a Lap
Timer. Follow the onscreen instructions to place a start/
finish pin on the map. Once the pins are placed, press
START to initiate the driving (lapping) session. When
you drive Model 3 through the start/finish location, the
Lap Timer automatically starts timing the duration of
the lap, resetting the timer whenever you pass the
start/finish location. The map highlights the track in
blue.
At the completion of each lap, the Lap Timer displays
the duration of the lap. It also displays the times
associated with the previous and best laps in the
driving session.
If Save Dashcam for Laps is on (see Customizing Track
Mode on page 69), and a properly formatted USB flash
drive is inserted in a front USB port, Track Mode saves a
video of the driving session (as recorded by the front
cameras), along with a .CSV
file that provides detailed
information about the lap.
NOTE: To stop the timer at the end of your driving
session, touch STOP on the Lap Timer popup window.
Monitoring Vehicle Health
You can easily monitor the health of Model 3 when
using Track Mode by glancing at the car status area of
the touchscreen. The colors indicate the status of the
various components, allowing you to determine the
current operating state and make decisions accordingly.
The components are displayed in green when operating
within their ideal temperature range. Colors change as
follows:
•
The Battery displays blue when cold and red when
hot.
•
A brake displays blue when cold and red when hot
(an early warning for overheating brakes).
•
A motor displays blue when it's cold or red when it's
hot.
•
A tire displays blue when under-used or red when
the peak grip is exceeded.
NOTE: A component displayed in red does not
necessarily indicate a concern.
CAUTION:
Any vehicle damage or injuries caused
by using Track Mode is the driver's responsibility.
The vehicle warranty does not cover damage
caused by excessive overuse of vehicle
components. It also does not cover racing,
autocross, or driving in competition.
G-Meter
In Track Mode, a real-time G-Meter displays on the
Cards area of the touchscreen (see Touchscreen
Overview on page 4). The G-Meter graphically displays
peak lateral, acceleration, and deceleration values in the
form of a circular meter. The history of your drive is
represented in the shaded area. The G-Meter resets at
the start of each driving session.
NOTE: You can swipe the G-Meter card to display a
dierent card. However, the G-Meter displays as the
default card whenever you engage Track Mode.
