off, all settings return to their previous

operating state.
Customizing Track Mode
To customize Track Mode, touch Track Mode
Settings on the Track Mode popup window
that appears on the map when you enable
Track Mode. You can also access the Track
Mode settings by touching Controls > Driving,
then touching Customize next to the Track
Mode setting. Choose an existing Track Mode
setting from the list of pre-defined profiles
provided by Tesla. Or create a new settings
profile by touching Add New Settings,
entering a name for the settings profile, then
adjusting these settings to suit your
preferences or driving scenario, or customize
for a specific track:
• Handling Balance - Customize the
balance of Model 3 in a turn. If Model 3 is
too loose, you can choose a front-biased
under-steering setup. Difficult to get the
vehicle through a turn? Try a rear-biased
setup to increase rotation. You can select
any value, in 5% increments, between
100/0 (for 100% front biased used for
under-steering) and 0/100 (for 100% rear
biased used for over-steering).
• Stability Assist - Choose the level at
which the stability control systems are
helping to control the vehicle. You can
choose any level from -10 to +10. Choosing
+10 engages all stability assist systems for
controllable driving in which stability
systems remain 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

sufficiently cool, or when you power Model
3 off 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
Requirements for Videos and Recording on
page 177. 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
