Today, Tesla gathers virtually all functions in the car's infotainment screen. But it is actually possible to get the car in gear if the screen dies.
It may be a bit far-fetched to talk about gear changes in an electric car. Because such a one has enormously only a forward gear, neutral gear and reverse gear. But what if the screen goes black?
If the large touch screen in the center of the cabin does not respond, most people will think that it is impossible to move forward. But no – at least not in the latest Model 3.
Because Tesla knows well that the screen risks breaking down. For the same reason, the gear selector appears above you. Yes, that is indeed the case.
"In situations where the touch screen is not available (for example, due to a technical problem) or if Model 3 is in Valet mode or Transport mode, the chorus mode selector on the overhead console is automatically activated and there is no need to press it," Tesla states in Denmark.

There is also a beta function called 'Automatic shift from position P', where your Tesla itself chooses D or R. As a driver, however, you can intervene at any time and cancel the car's choice of gear.
You can tell your optician that the first time your Tesla Model 3 goes for an inspection. By then, you can hope that Tesla has gotten a better handle on the technology in the model.

On the other hand, it is now the second year in a row that the Tesla Model 3 is the worst car to roll through the viewing halls. Read more about it here .
Speaking of German conditions, sales in Europe's largest car market are lagging tremendously for Tesla. So much so, in fact, that the car brand is now drastically reducing the price of Denmark's most popular car, the Model Y, to entice customers.
