Car Status
Parking lights are on (side marker
lights, tail lights, and license plate
lights) . See Lights on page 58.
A blue snowflake appears when some
of the energy stored in the Battery may
not be available due to cold weather
conditions. During these cold weather
conditions, charging rates may also be
limited. If Model Y is plugged in, you
can heat your Battery by turning on
climate control with the mobile app.
The snowflake disappears when the
Battery is sufficiently warm.
Low beam headlights are on.
High beam headlights are on and Auto
High Beam is disabled or currently
unavailable.
Appears when regenerative braking is
limited. See Regenerative Braking on
page 66 for more information.
Auto High Beam is enabled and high
beams are on. Model Y is ready to turn
off the high beams if light is detected.
See High Beam Headlights on page 59.
Vehicle power is currently being limited
because the energy remaining in the
Battery is low, the vehicle's systems are
being heated or cooled, or an error is
detected by the drive inverter .
Auto High Beam is enabled but high
beams are not on because light is
detected in front of Model Y. When
light is no longer detected, high beams
automatically turn back on. See High
Beam Headlights on page 59.
See Popup Messages and Vehicle Alerts on page 7 for
more information about alert popups on your vehicle's
touchscreen.
Driving Status
This indicator flashes amber when the
electronic stability control systems are
actively minimizing wheel spin by
controlling brake pressure and motor
power. See Traction Control on page
69. If this indicator remains on, a fault is
detected and you should immediately
contact Tesla.
When Model Y is driving (or ready to drive), the
touchscreen shows your current driving status and a
real-time visualization of the road as detected by the
Autopilot components (see About Autopilot on page
88). The visualization automatically zooms in and out to
better utilize touchscreen space and inform you when a
vehicle is detected in your blind spot.
Electronic stability control systems are
no longer minimizing wheel spin. On a
Rear Wheel Drive vehicle, the traction
control system has been turned off, or
on an All-Wheel Drive vehicle, Slip Start
has been enabled. See Traction Control
on page 69.
