climate control with the
mobile app. The snowflake
disappears when the Battery
is sufficiently warm.

Driving Status
When Model 3 is driving (or ready to drive),
the touchscreen shows your current driving
status and a real-time visualization of the

about the roadway and its surroundings
including road markings, stop lights, and
objects (such as trash cans and poles).
