Touch Screen displayFull screenTouching an app icon (along top
row) for an app thats already displayed causes that app go full
screen. Also accomplished using the smallexpand the window button

As I mentioned earlier in this sequence of courses, the Model S
has been jokingly called a computer on 4 wheels. Thats especially
true when tips and tricks for the touch screen and telematics are
considered. Lets begin with the 17 display, by far, the largest of
any car in the world.
>> There are times when its convenient to have a single
app display full screen on your 17 touch screen. This is
particularly useful when youd like to see a larger portion of a map
while in nav.A quick way to get a full screen image is to:>>
Touch an app icon along top row for an app thats already displayed
in the top window. This causes that app go full screen. >>
This can also accomplished using the small expand the window button
in the lower left corner of the display.
Organizing appsYou can drag an app icon to either the upper or
lower display to place it appropriatelyYou can also drag it to the
miniature top-half and bottom-half icons that appear at the top of
the screen when you begin dragging an app icon. [@JoshG via

There are times when you want to place an app window in upper
area of the 17 display. To do this quickly,>> You can drag an
app icon from the top row to either the upper or lower display
window to place it appropriately.>> Alternatively, you can
also drag it to the miniature top-half and bottom-half icons that
appear at the top of the screen when you begin dragging an app
icon. These are shown in the photo on your screen.

Your carPress the Tesla logo at the top of the touch
screenbrings up an image of your car, showing your VIN#, firmware
version, and most recent firmware release notes. The image of the
car on screen should match your actual cars color, roof type, and
display the status of headlights/fog lights, along with left turn
signal or flashers, and brake lights. [Teslarati]
Model S software maintains an image of your car, along with all
pertinent identification and status information. This is
particularly useful when you need to know the software version for
your car or your vehicle identification number. To access this
information:>> Press the Tesla logo at the top of the touch
screen>> this brings up an image of your car, showing your
VIN#, software version, and most recent release notes. >> The
image of the car on screen should match your cars actual color and
roof type, and display the status of all lights and flashers.
