2020–2026 Tesla Model Y FAQ
How do I use the high beam headlights?

Use the high beam button on the left side of the steering wheel: press and release to flash, or hold through the touchscreen timer to latch high beams on, then press again to turn them off.
Page 80 in the 2026 manual →What should I do if I suspect tire damage while driving?
2025–2026
If you feel sudden vibration or suspect tire damage, immediately slow down, avoid heavy braking or sharp steering, and stop when safe.
Arrange to have Model Y transported to Tesla Service or a nearby tire repair center, and do not drive with an unrepaired puncture.
Page 200 in the 2026 manual →Can I check or top up my Model Y's brake fluid myself?
2025–2026
No; have Tesla or a professional automotive repair shop check brake fluid levels, and do not top up the brake fluid.
Brake fluid is poisonous: do not inhale or swallow it, or let it touch open wounds; follow fluid-container instructions.
Page 197 in the 2026 manual →Why does my Model Y's displayed range decrease faster than I drive?
2025–2026
The displayed range is an estimate based on EPA-rated consumption, so your driving patterns and external conditions can make it decrease faster than actual distance driven.
Open the Energy app to view estimated range based on your recent energy consumption.
Page 191 in the 2026 manual →2021–2024
Displayed range is an estimate based on EPA-rated consumption and may not reflect your driving or external conditions; use the Energy app to view an estimate based on recent consumption.
Page 185 in the 2024 manual →2020
If you risk driving beyond known charging locations, use the touchscreen message to display charging locations within range, select one, and follow the provided navigation instructions.
The directions include the predicted amount of energy remaining when you arrive at the charging destination.
Page 77 in the 2020 manual →Can Model Y jump-start another vehicle?
2020–2026
No; Model Y cannot be used to jump-start another vehicle because doing so can cause damage.
Page 241 in the 2026 manual →What do the Model Y cabin air filters do?
2021–2026
Model Y has one or more cabin air filters that help prevent pollen, industrial fallout, road dust, and other particles from entering.
