Electrical Precautions
General
Avoid getting grease on electrical components and connectors. Grease collects
dirt, which can cause electrical tracking (short circuits) or high resistance.

Autopark
To Use Autopark
Autopark (if equipped) uses data from the
ultrasonic sensors and GPS to simplify parking
on public roads by maneuvering Model 3 into
parallel and perpendicular parking spaces.
Warning: Autopark's performance
depends on the ability of the ultrasonic
sensors to determine the
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
VIN Locations
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is visible in the following locations:
The bottom corner of the driver side of the windshield
The label on the driver door jamb
On the touchscreen after touching the Tesla "T"
The RH upper b-pillar; can be seen when the upper B-pilla
