Autopilot includes two features: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC) and Autosteer. TACC matches the speed of your car to that of the surrounding traffic while Autosteer assists with steering within a clearly marked lane while TACC is engaged.

When TACC is available, a grey circle with a speed-limit number in it appears to the right of the speedometer. To engage, push down once on the gear selector stalk. The associated circle will turn blue when TACC is engaged. Adjust your speed via the touchscreen or right-hand scroll on the steering wheel. Push the stalk up once or lightly touch the brake pedal to disengage TACC.

When Autosteer is available, a grey steering wheel icon will appear next to the TACC circle on the touchscreen. To engage, push down twice on the gear selector stick. The steering wheel icon will turn blue when Autosteer is engaged. Push the stick up once or lightly touch the brake pedal to disengage Autosteer. However, the driver remains responsible for steering at all times.

Yes. While TACC is engaged, push the right-hand scroll on the steering wheel to the right or left to set your preferred following distance. As traffic slows, TACC will maintain the programmed following distance between the Tesla and the car in front of you, helping prevent rear-end collisions.
