How to Wipe User Data from Tesla Model Y

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I am selling a Tesla and would like to wipe all personal data from the screen including username, home addresses, favorite stations, favorite navigation points and so on - please advise - thanks

@Tam gave the short version, but this scenario is covered specifically in the manual. For reference, here it is:

===================================


Service​

Owner's Manual: View the onscreen Owner's Manual. A new version of the onscreen owner's manual is typically provided with every software update and therefore contains more recent information that those provided by Tesla elsewhere (for example, via the web).

Car Wash Mode: Enable before using a car wash to ensure all doors and windows are closed, and all chimes are turned off. See Car Wash Mode.
Adjust Headlights: Make adjustments to the level of the headlights . See Headlight Adjustments
CAUTION Headlights should only be adjusted by Tesla Service.
Towing: Prepare Model Y to be transported by keeping it in Neutral (with the parking brake disengaged), when you exit. See Instructions for Transporters.

Notifications: Display a list of notifications that have recently appeared on your vehicle.
Camera Calibration (if equipped): Clear the existing calibration of Autopilot cameras to reset the stored camera positions and angles. Once calibration is cleared, you must drive to calibrate the cameras.
See Drive to Calibrate Cameras for more information.

Factory Reset: Erase all personal data (saved addresses, music favorites, HomeLink programming, etc.) and restore all settings to their factory defaults. This is useful when transferring ownership of Model Y. Before erasing, you must enter the credentials for your Tesla account.

Wiper Service Mode: Turn on to provide easy access to wiper blades (see Wiper Blades and Washer Jets).

==================================

(I find this response a bit nicer than "RTFM" but realize it is basically the same thing)
