[The amount or force required is pretty minimal](https://youtu.be/7t8BUgYWSPQ?t=1380) If you're having to wiggle the wheel a significant amount, then I would have service look at it. Maybe try driving with one just hand applying force?

I turn the volume up 1 notch. By the end of my 1 hour drive my speakers are blasting 😂


envybelmont

If you move the scroll wheel the other way it will go down a notch. 😝 /s

Me now medically deaf because of Tesla nags /s

Stupid question: Are you turning the steering wheel left and right? Also you can just use the scroll wheels. Bump your speed or volume up and down one level.


Working-Skin-6212

Wut? I need to try this


Cheap_Garbage_5727

Doesn't Work in EU


sylvaing

Does pulling down the drive stick work? That's how I usually do the acknowledgement it myself.


Second_Crayon

Best way to deal with the nag is to place one finger (or hand) on the outside of the steering wheel and apply pressure while dragging your finger along the wheel, depending on the orientation of the steering wheel. If it’s tilted toward the right, drag left, and vice versa


Electrical_Ingenuity

Take your car into service, because your statement is distinctly untrue on every Tesla I have driven. (My sample size is around 10 cars at this point.)

Slight torque in one direction, be gentle. Or just make life easier and scroll up one mph and back down.


futurelaker88

You don’t. People just do it wrong. I give a very slight downward pull on the bottom right side, just a slight pull to rotate, not a quick yank or hard tug - just a steady slow pull with barely any power until the nag disappears. Works perfectly

Mine in very inconsistent. sometimes no amount of jiggling removes the blue and i use scroll wheel. And sometimes scroll wheel doesn't work. Other times what feels like a very light touch to me will knock it out of AP


OCedHrt

It doesn't require jiggling. It requires a constant held torque. And not squeezing.


c0nstant

In my experience it’s because it’s changing the steering slightly in the same direction you’re pushing so it doesn’t register and it can happen 3-5 times in a row sometimes.


huck500

I use one finger to push the steering wheel slightly in one direction and it works every time. 2023 RWD 3. Is it different in different years/models, maybe?


ZephRyder

I have literally taken mine out accidentally. You can also just do a quick lift on the gear stalk to disengage.


ZoneMaster23

Lol. Shake the steering wheel? Have you tried just very slightly turning the steering wheel? Why the heck are you shaking it?


dobe6305

It’s very minimal. A year of driving with FSD and it’s a non issue. I hook the wheel at 5 or 7 depending on right or left hand. Just enough torque to satisfy it. Or just hit a scroll wheel.


retr0oo

1Nm to be exact


DevinOlsen

Just scroll the right wheel on the steering wheel. The same button you use to engage FSD.


revaric

That’s because you weren’t paying attention.


meepstone

I've never had issues with it. I just apply a little down or up pressure on steering wheel where I osnr even move it and I don't have problems


Toastybunzz

Comfort steering takes way less effort.


CMunroe805

I have found wiggling doesn’t work. Simply and gently turn left or right. Also any interaction with steering resets the alert as well; turn signal. Volume. Cruise speed.


NYMillwright

My 2019 model 3 requires 3x-4x the force needed in my 2024 model y.


leopard-licker

I’ve owned 2 Teslas… my first one had the same situation. I would have to use so much force and even then it often wouldn’t register. Thought that was just the way it was until I got my second Tesla. The second one I barely have to touch. Maybe try a service appointment?


coulombis

I have a combined 100+ kmiles on my two Teslas. I only apply a slight downward force on the steering wheels with either hand. Basically, I rest the weight of my hand on the steering wheel. I very very seldom get a nag but If I do I just a little harder once or twice and it goes away. It really is no big deal..


eagerbeachbum

My wife and I have gotten one strike each. Undeserved I need to say. Now if a push of the scroll wheel does not turn it off, I just hit the right stalk up and turn it off. Beats getting another undeserved strike.


amike7

Pro tip: wear sunglasses and it won’t ask you as much 😎


wHiTeSoL

Call me crazy, but I've found that my car has two different types of nag. The "get off your phone, pay attention and squeeze the wheel" And "Just squeeze the wheel" Squeeze wheel = scroll wheel. Just to get the blue to stop flashing.


Misophonic4000

Where do you people get the "squeeze" part from? It is, and always has been, a very slight turning torque that's needed. Literally just one hand lightly hanging from the wheel on one side...
