Step 2: Accessing the Navigation Menu ️
The first real step is to get into the navigation interface.
Tapping the Map Icon
-
On your Tesla's large touchscreen display, you'll see a map icon. It usually looks like a stylized compass or a globe. Tap on this icon to bring up the full navigation screen.
-
Once the navigation screen is open, you'll typically see your current location and potentially some saved destinations.
Step 3: Finding Your Saved Locations
Now that you're in the navigation interface, we need to find where your saved locations are stored.
Looking for "Saved" or "Favorites"
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
-
On the navigation screen, look for an option that says "Saved", "Favorites", or sometimes just an icon that looks like a star or a pin. The exact wording or icon might vary slightly depending on your Tesla's software version, but it's usually quite intuitive.
-
Tap on this option to reveal a list of all your saved destinations, including your "Home" and "Work" locations.
Step 4: Identifying and Selecting "Work"
In your list of saved locations, you'll need to pinpoint "Work."
Locating "Work" on the List
-
Scroll through the list of saved locations until you find the entry labeled "Work." It should be clearly identifiable.
-
Do not tap directly on "Work" to navigate to it. Instead, you're looking for an edit or information icon next to it. This icon often looks like a small 'i' in a circle or three dots (...).
Step 5: Editing or Deleting the "Work" Location ❌
This is the crucial step where you'll remove the "Work" entry.
Accessing Edit Options
-
Tap on the edit/information icon (the 'i' or three dots) next to "Work." This action will open up a detailed view of the "Work" location.
-
Within this detailed view, you should see options like "Edit," "Rename," or most importantly, "Delete" or a trash can icon.
Confirming Deletion
-
Tap on "Delete" or the trash can icon.
-
The system will likely ask for confirmation to ensure you genuinely want to remove the location. This is a safeguard against accidental deletions.
-
Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
Step 6: Verifying the Removal ✅
It's always a good idea to double-check that the "Work" location has been successfully removed.
Rechecking Saved Locations
-
Go back to your "Saved" or "Favorites" list.
-
Scroll through it again. "Work" should no longer be present in the list of saved locations.
-
If it's gone, you've successfully removed it!
Step 7: What If You Want to Add a New "Work" Location? ➕
After removing the old "Work" location, you might want to add a new one.
Setting a New "Work" Location
-
You can easily set a new "Work" location by navigating to your new workplace and then tapping the location on the map.
-
Look for an option to "Save" or "Add to Favorites."
-
When prompted, you should have the option to label it as "Work."
-
Alternatively, you can go to your vehicle's "Controls" > "Navigation" settings and look for the option to set "Home" and "Work" addresses directly. This is often the quickest way to establish new default locations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
Removing "Home" is similar to "Work." Go to "Saved" or "Favorites," tap the edit/info icon next to "Home," and then select "Delete."
How to clear all saved locations in Tesla navigation?
Tesla usually doesn't have a "clear all" button for saved locations. You'll need to delete them one by one from the "Saved" or "Favorites" list.
How to reset Tesla navigation settings?
You can perform a soft reset of the navigation system by holding down both scroll wheels on the steering wheel until the touchscreen goes black and the Tesla logo appears. This often resolves minor glitches but won't delete saved locations.
How to stop Tesla from auto-navigating to Work?
Once "Work" is deleted from your saved locations, Tesla will no longer auto-navigate to it.
How to manage multiple saved locations in Tesla?
You can access and manage all saved locations under the "Saved" or "Favorites" section of the navigation menu. From there, you can edit or delete individual entries.
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
How to add a new Work location after deleting the old one?

Try restarting your Tesla's touchscreen (hold both scroll wheels). If the issue persists, contact Tesla service, as it might be a software bug.
How to prevent accidental deletion of saved locations in Tesla?
Tesla requires a confirmation step before deleting saved locations, which helps prevent accidental removal. Always read prompts carefully before confirming.

While you can often navigate to saved locations using voice commands (e.g., "Navigate to Work"), directly deleting saved locations via voice commands is generally not supported. You'll need to use the touchscreen interface.
