Tesla takes a modern approach to providing owner's manual information for its vehicles, including the 2021-2023 Tesla Model 3. Unlike traditional vehicles that come with a physical book, Tesla integrates all relevant owner's manual content directly into the vehicle's software.
How Tesla Delivers Owner's Manuals
Tesla does not provide physical owner's manual copies. Instead, the complete owner's manual content is embedded within the vehicle's software and displayed on the car's touchscreen. This system ensures that the information presented is always the most current and relevant for your specific Tesla Model 3 owner's manual, based on its unique configuration and the software version installed.
This means that what you see on your car's screen is precisely the content applicable to your vehicle's features and functionalities. The infotainment system acts as your primary source for all operational and maintenance information.
Accessing Your Model 3 Owner's Manual
To access your Tesla Model 3 owner's manual, simply navigate through the menus on your vehicle's central touchscreen. The system is designed to intuitively present the information you need, when you need it, directly within the car. This integrated approach ensures that the manual is always available and up-to-date.
Why a PDF is Provided to NHTSA
While owners access the manual via their vehicle's touchscreen, Tesla provides a comprehensive PDF version of the owner's manual content to NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) for submission requirements. This PDF, identified as manufacturer communication 10253666, represents all available owner's manual content for Model 3 vehicles.
It is important to note that a customer accessing the owner's manual through their vehicle's touchscreen would only see the specific parts of this PDF file that are relevant to their particular vehicle's configuration. The PDF serves as a complete reference, whereas the in-car version is personalized.
