Tesla Model Y: Using the Phone App
When your phone is connected to
Model Y
using Bluetooth, and you have allowed
access to information on your phone (see
Importing Contacts and Recent Calls), you can use the phone app to
display and make a hands-free call to
anyone listed on your phone.
- Calls: Displays recent calls in chronological order with
the most recent call listed first.
- Messages: Displays message in chronological order
with the most recent message listed first. You can
view, send, and receive text messages. Instead of
typing a text message, touch the microphone button
on the right side of the steering wheel to enter text
using your voice.
WARNING: To minimize distraction and ensure the safety of occupants as well as other road
users, do not view or send text messages when the vehicle is in motion. Pay attention to road
and traffic conditions at all times when driving.
- Contacts: Contacts are listed in alphabetical order
and can be sorted by first name or last name. You can
also choose a letter on the right side of the list to
quickly scroll to the names that begin with the
selected character. When you touch a name on your
contacts list, the contact's available number(s)
displays on the right pane, along with other available
information (such as address). Touch the contact's
number to make a call.
- Favorites: Displays the contacts from your phone that
you have identified as Favorites.
- Calendar: Displays calendar entries from your phone
(see Calendar). If an entry includes a
phone number or an address, you can make a phone
call, or navigate to a destination, by touching the
corresponding information in the calendar entry.
Making a Phone Call
You can make a phone call by:
- Speaking a voice command (see Voice Commands). Voice commands are a convenient,
hands-free way to call or text your contacts.
- Touching a phone number shown in a list in the
phone app - Contacts, Calls, or Calendar.
- Using the Model Y on-screen dialer in the Phone
app's Calls list.
NOTE: If it is safe and legal to do so, you can also initiate
a call by dialing the number or selecting the contact
directly from your phone.
NOTE: You can also make a phone call by touching a pin
on the map and choosing the phone number (if
available) on the popup screen.
