Congratulations on your new home! Updating your address in your Tesla is a straightforward process, primarily managed through the vehicle's touchscreen navigation system. This guide will walk you through the steps to ensure your Tesla always knows the way home.
Step 1: Let's Get Started – Your Tesla's Navigation System
So, you've moved, and your Tesla still thinks your old place is "home"? Don't worry, we'll fix that right away! The primary way to change your home address in your Tesla is directly through its in-car navigation system. This is where your car stores your most frequent destinations, including home and work.

Step 2: Accessing the Navigation Menu
To begin, you'll need to interact with your Tesla's large touchscreen display.
2.1 Locating the Navigation Area
From your main screen, look for the "Navigate" area. This is typically a prominent search bar or icon at the top of the display. Tap on it to open the navigation menu.
2.2 Finding Your Current Home Address
Once the navigation menu opens, you'll likely see your currently set home address (if you have one). It might be labeled as "Home" or show the address directly.
Step 3: Clearing Your Old Home Address
This is a crucial step to ensure you can set a new one.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
3.1 Long Press to Edit
To change your home address, you'll need to long-press (hold your finger down for a few seconds) on the "Home" option or the current home address displayed in the navigation menu.
3.2 Confirming the Clear Action
After the long press, a small menu or pop-up should appear. Look for an option that says "Clear Home" or something similar. Tap this to remove your old home address. Don't worry, this just clears the saved location, it doesn't delete your house!
Step 4: Setting Your New Home Address
Now for the exciting part – inputting your new address!
4.1 Tapping "Set Home"
Once the old address is cleared, the "Home" option in the navigation menu should now say "Set Home". Tap on this option.
4.2 Entering Your New Address
A keyboard will appear on the screen, allowing you to type in your new home address. You can either:
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
Manually type the full address.
Select it from a drop-down menu if your Tesla suggests it as you type.
4.3 Saving Your New Home
After you've entered the correct address and it appears on the screen, confirm that all the details are accurate. Then, tap on the "Save as Home" button.
Step 5: Verification and Enjoyment!
Your Tesla should now recognize your new home address!

5.1 Quick Check
To verify, you can simply tap the "Home" tab in the navigation again, and it should now route you to your newly saved location.
5.2 Driver Profiles (Advanced Tip!)
Did you know that your home and work addresses, along with your navigation history, can be tied to your driver profile? This is a handy feature, especially if multiple people drive your Tesla, as each driver can have their own personalized settings. If you haven't already, consider setting up a Tesla Profile for yourself to save your preferences to the cloud.
