Anyone who often passes on their car and lets others drive it knows the problem. You often pass the car on with a bad conscience and always with a little fear that something might happen. That's why Tesla has Valet Mode . Since this was added with an update, it has provided extra trust and a better conscience for the Tesla owner. You can find out what Tesla Valet Mode can do and how to activate and deactivate it in this article.

Tesla Valet Mode is a mode that allows you to restrict or disable certain driving settings in the vehicle. Valet Mode is particularly useful for protecting privacy and reducing the risk of damage or misuse of the vehicle when it is placed in the hands of another person.

This could be, for example, a parking service at a hotel or a parking service in large cities abroad. The security functions in the vehicle, which can be activated with a four-digit PIN, have become very popular since their release a few years ago via an update.

You can activate Tesla Valet Mode in two different ways:

1. About the Tesla itself

   When selecting the profile on the main display of the Tesla, you can select Tesla Valet mode as the profile. The selected driving settings will then be adopted.

2. Via the Tesla app on your smartphone

   In the Tesla app, with a logged-in Tesla account, you can switch on Valet Mode under Security -> Valet Mode. This can also be done remotely when the driver is not at the vehicle.

When you activate Valet Mode in your car for the first time, the driver is instructed to set a 4-digit PIN.

When the Tesla is in Valet mode, various functions are restricted for the driver. The functions are explained below:

• The maximum speed is limited to 113 km h

• The glove compartment can be protected with a pin

• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Homelink are deactivated

• The glove compartment and the frunk are locked

• Personal information such as home address is hidden

• Acceleration is limited to 25% of power

• Voice input is blocked

Tesla Valet Mode is a great, simple way to secure your Tesla Model 3 , Model S , Model X or Model Y using a driver profile on the vehicle or in the app, even if you entrust the car to another driver to find a parking space or something similar. The key card itself can remain with the owner.

Therefore, the option to use the Valet mode when needed only offers advantages. Since this function was added as a free update, you are free to use the mode.

As is often the case, Tesla is expanding its range of diverse software options that ultimately distinguish the cars.
