  • Disconnect the vehicle from any charging sources.
2. Update Software
  • Connect the vehicle to Wi-Fi.
  • Navigate to the "Software" tab on the main display and check for updates.
  • If an update is available, follow the prompts to download and install it, then restart the vehicle.
3. Inspect and Repair Battery Health
  • Use the Tesla diagnostic tool to assess battery health.
  • If the battery’s state of health is below 80%, consider contacting Tesla for battery replacement options.
4. Check Brake System Components
  • Remove the wheel to access brake components.
  • Inspect brake pads for wear; replace if they are below the minimum thickness.
  • Check brake calipers and lines for leaks or damage and replace if necessary.
5. Adjust Regenerative Braking Settings
  • Access the vehicle's control panel.
  • Navigate to the "Driving" settings.
  • Ensure that the regenerative braking is set to the desired level (Standard or Low) and adjust as necessary.
6. Test and Replace Brake Pedal Sensor (if needed)
