How do I put a Model 3 in neutral?

The other day, I wanted to take my Tesla Model 3 to the car wash but I couldn’t figure out how to put it in neutral. How do you change to neutral?

The
Tesla Model 3
is an affordable entry into the electric vehicle market, but you’d be surprised how many people can’t figure out how to put the vehicle in neutral! To put a Model 3 in neutral, hold down on the column shift lever for one second without pushing the lever into drive.
By putting the car in neutral, you can push it off the road if it breaks down or, as you mentioned, clean the vehicle in an automatic car wash.
