What I Found
Tesla Service Mode is a built-in diagnostic area on the Model Y that shows service-focused tools, camera views.
Tesla hides a lot of information behind its normal touchscreen menus. Most owners spend their time in the regular Controls, Software, Charging, and Autopilot screens, but there is another area built into the car that is meant mainly for diagnostics and service work.
On the 2023 Tesla Model Y shown in the video, Service Mode is accessed from the Software screen by pressing and holding on the vehicle model name for a few seconds. In this case, the car was running software version 11.1 with Full Self-Driving installed.
