Finding yourself fumbling with the radio in your Tesla and wanting a silent ride? Turning off the radio in a Tesla isn’t as straightforward as pressing an off button.
We start by exploring the touchscreen. Accessing the audio settings is key. Here, you can pause media or even mute the entire system using the left steering wheel button. This method isn’t perfect though, as it mutes everything, causing a fuss when you want just the radio off but still need beeps for navigation.
Imagine cruising peacefully until a radio station intrudes with loud advertisements. Annoying, right? Swipe down the music icon to lower or close the audio window entirely. We’ve found that once closed, the car remembers and won’t restart the radio next time. This quick swipe makes unwanted noise disappear, leaving us to appreciate the silent drive home. 🚗
