Solution
1. Preparation
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked safely and is in a well-ventilated area.
  • Check that the battery has at least a 20% charge to avoid any interruptions during the reset process.
2. Soft Reset of the Touchscreen
  1. Press and hold both scroll wheels on the steering wheel until the touchscreen turns off.
  2. Release the scroll wheels and wait for the Tesla logo to appear on the screen.
  3. Allow a few moments for the system to reboot and restore functionality.
3. Hard Reset (if necessary)
  1. If the soft reset does not resolve the issue, perform a hard reset by disconnecting the 12V battery.
  2. Open the front trunk and locate the 12V battery (typically on the right side).
  3. Using a socket set, carefully disconnect the negative terminal of the battery first, then the positive terminal.
  4. Wait for at least 10 minutes to allow the system to reset.
  5. Reconnect the positive terminal first, followed by the negative terminal.
  6. Close the front trunk and ensure all systems are functioning correctly upon restart.
4. Check Software Version
  1. After the reset, navigate to the vehicle settings.
  2. Select “Software” to confirm that the latest version is installed.
  3. If an update is available, ensure the vehicle is connected to Wi-Fi and proceed with the update.
