Notably, there’s more on the DRNP stalk than DRNP. The site not a tesla app writes that Chris “has ties with the Tesla supply chain in China.” I’m not familiar with Chris Zheng or how reliable he is, so I can’t say with confidence that this is a leak, rather than simply a rumor, but we should all find out soon enough. The 2023 Model 3/Y will also remove the left and right paddles, sliding gearshift, and touch turn signals. Rumor has it that the Model Y and Model 3 will soon be adopting the change. It seems logical: try out the new tech on limited production models and then, if things are going well and any potential bugs have been worked out, roll it out to mass-market models (the Model Y and Model 3). When Tesla Technoking Elon Musk announced the removal of the DRNP stalk in the middle of 2021, he added that the stalk would eventually be removed from the Model Y and Model 3 as well.
TESLA GEAR SHIFT DRIVERS
BUT … this change is already in play for thousands of Tesla Model S and X drivers and I haven’t seen any complaints, so I assume my concerns are little more than fear of change. On the other hand, if you’re paying attention every time, that seems like more mental work than instinctively using the stalk and relying on muscle memory. I’m concerned that the car would not have the right idea of which direction to go in, and that once you get used to not using the stalk, you won’t pay attention and notice which direction the car wants to go in. And, frankly, I’ll admit that I’m not a fan of the idea on the surface. “ But how will your car know what to do?” … “ It’ll be so annoying pressing D, R, N, or P on the touchscreen!” That’s what the naysayers said.

I’ll be scheduling a service appointment soon to have the ultrasonic sensor checked on one of our Falcon Wing Doors and will discuss this error as well, if anything further needs to be done.Back when Tesla introduced the fact that the refreshed Model S and Model X would not have a stalk for changing between drive, reverse, neutral, and park (a “DRNP stalk”), some of us freaked out. There’s a chance our WiFi in the garage is getting worse.
TESLA GEAR SHIFT UPDATE
We don’t have the greatest internet service, but have never had a software update failure before. Talking to Roadside Assistance, they confirmed that may be the issue and mentioned the error message was likely a WiFI issue.
TESLA GEAR SHIFT INSTALL
We had a failed install, 2 days later a prompt to install the update again, which also failed. The fact our Tesla would not shift into gear may have been a result of a failed over-the-air firmware update. Once the screen reboots this time, the vehicle should now allow you to shift into reverse or drive. This time you change back to your actual wheel size and once again tap Confirm. After the screen boots back up, again, go into the Controls menu and Service. From here, change to a different wheel size and tap “Confirm”. Go into the Controls menu of the touchscreen and Service. The resetting of the wheel configuration did though. You may not think to change your wheel size setting to correct a vehicle that won’t shift into gear, but that’s exactly what they suggested – and it worked! Also worth noting, attempting multiple resets by holding down the scroll wheels on the steering wheel did not fix the solution. This was their response, be aware, they did warn me it may seem a bit unorthodox. On the second occurrence, I decided to call Tesla Roadside Assistance since nothing I did would allow the vehicle to shift into gear. The Instrument Panel screen said “Car Off”. But what do you do if nothing happens? This scenario happened to me twice in three days. Typically when everything is working as intended, you’ll simply press your foot on the brake pedal and push down or up on you shifter stalk in a Tesla to shift into Drive or Reverse.
