Driver Profiles
When you first adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel
position, or exterior side mirrors, the touchscreen
prompts you to create a driver profile to save these
adjustments. Your profile also saves various preferences
you make while customizing Model Y. See Using Tesla
settings to the cloud for easy access across multiple
Tesla vehicles.
Using Tesla Profiles
Driver profile settings, such as seat adjustments,
temperature preferences, navigation Recents and
Favorites, media settings, and data sharing preferences
can be saved into a Tesla Profile that is synced to every
supported vehicle under your Tesla Account. This
provides convenient access to your profile settings and
preferences across all your Tesla supported vehicles.
To add a new driver profile, touch the
driver profile icon at the top of the
touchscreen. Then touch Driver Profile
Settings > Add New Driver, type the
driver's name and touch Create Profile.
Follow the onscreen instructions to save
mirror and steering wheel position to the
driver profile. Check the Use Easy Entry
checkbox if you want to save (or use
existing) Easy Entry settings in which the
driver's seat and the steering wheel are
automatically adjusted to make it easy to
enter and exit Model Y.
To set up your Tesla Profile, navigate to Driver Profile
Settings and select your Tesla Account name. You can
choose to set it up as a New Profile or copy the settings
from an existing driver profile that you were previously
using.
To set up a Tesla Profile for additional drivers, share your
vehicle with them from the mobile app and navigate to
Security > Add Driver. Their Tesla Profile will appear in
the Driver Profile settings after accepting the invitation
from their Tesla Account. For more information on
granting mobile app access, see Granting Access to a
Second Driver on page 152. In addition, you can change
your profile picture from your Tesla Mobile App.
If you change the position of the driver’s seat, steering
wheel, or exterior side mirrors after you have saved or
chosen a driver profile, the touchscreen prompts you to
Save the new position or Restore the previously saved
position (other settings are automatically saved). To
change a setting without saving or restoring, just ignore
the prompt.
NOTE: Some vehicle settings, such as seat, mirror,
steering wheel, and air vent positions are only synced
between the same vehicle models. If the seat or steering
positions do not restore as expected, touch Controls >
Service > Seat & Steering Calibration on the affected
vehicles.
To delete a driver profile, touch the driver profile icon at
the top of the touchscreen, touch Driver Profile Settings
and select the driver profile you would like the remove.
Once selected, there is an option to Delete the driver
profile.
NOTE: Tesla Profiles are supported on vehicles with
software versions 2022.24 or higher.
Your Tesla Profile will be removed from any vehicle not
associated with your Tesla Account.
NOTE: Valet mode is a built-in driver profile that limits
speed and restricts access to some Model Y features
Saved Settings
A subset of the settings that you choose to customize
your Model Y are automatically saved to your driver's
profile. Once saved, a green check mark appears next to
the driver profile icon on the touchscreen. Examples of
automatically saved driver profile settings are:
NOTE: To stop automatic adjustments that are in
process based on a driver's profile, touch Stop on the
Driver Profile dropdown menu. Automatic adjustments
also stop if you manually adjust a seat, mirror, or the
steering wheel.
• Navigation, temperature, lights and display settings.
• Autopilot and driving preferences.
Selecting Between Driver Profiles
To adjust Model Y based on a driver’s
profile, touch the driver profile icon at the
top of the Controls screen. Then choose
the driver, and Model Y is adjusted based
on the settings that have been saved to the
saving profile settings to the cloud for easy
access across multiple Tesla vehicles.
Linking a Driver Profile to a Key
You can link a driver profile to a key (or keys) to allow
Model Y to automatically select the correct driver profile
when the linked key is detected as you approach the
vehicle and open the driver's door. To link a driver profile
to a key, first ensure you are using your desired driver
profile, then touch Controls > Locks > Keys. You can
toggle the driver icon to link or delete a key to the
desired driver profile. The name of the driver profile
appears under the key to show that it is linked.
