Tesla Model Y: Canceling and Resuming
To manually cancel Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, press the brake pedal or briefly move the drive stalk up once. The cruising speed icon on the touchscreen turns gray to indicate that Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is no longer active.
WARNING: Do not hold the drive stalk up for more than one second. Doing so cancels Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and shifts Model Y into Neutral.

To resume cruising, move the drive stalk fully down once then release.

NOTE: When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control cancels, Model Y does not coast. Instead, regenerative braking slows down Model Y in the same way as when you move your foot off the accelerator when driving without Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (see Regenerative Braking).
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control cancels, or may not be available, in the following situations:
- You press the brake pedal.
- Your driving speed exceeds the maximum cruising speed of 90 mph (150 km/h).
- You shift Model Y.
- A door is opened.
- A camera or sensor is obstructed. This could be caused by dirt, mud, ice, snow, fog, etc.
- The traction control setting is manually disabled or is repeatedly engaging to prevent wheels from slipping.
- The wheels are spinning while at a standstill.
- The Traffic-Aware Cruise Control system is failing or requires service.
When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is unavailable or cancels, Model Y no longer drives consistently at a set speed and no longer maintains a specified distance from the vehicle ahead.
WARNING: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control can cancel unexpectedly at any time for unforeseen reasons. Always watch the road in front of you and stay prepared to take appropriate action. It is the driver's responsibility to be in control of Model Y at all times.

Traction Control
How It Works
The traction control system constantly monitors the
speed of the front and rear wheels. If Model Y
experiences a loss of traction, the system minimizes
wheel spin by controlling brake pressure and motor
power. By default, the traction control system is on.
Under normal conditions,
Range Assurance
The driving range displayed in Model Y is an estimate of
the remaining battery energy based on EPA-rated
consumption. It may not account for your personal
driving patterns or external conditions. The displayed
range on the instrument panel may decrease faster than
the actual distance driven.
