How do you reboot a Tesla?

My Tesla screen is totally black and I can't control anything. I read online that I need to reboot it, but I can't figure out how to do that!

Yikes! That’s frustrating. To reboot your
Tesla
, make sure your car is parked, then press and hold the two scroll buttons on your steering wheel until the display turns off. That should reboot your computer, and therefore turn your car display back on after a few moments.
If that doesn’t work, you should take your Tesla to a service center.
If you’re worried about mechanical problems in your car, you might want to see if you can get that kind of thing covered by your insurance policy. The
Jerry
 app can help you to be sure that your new car is protected for the best price.

What’s the best year for a used Porsche Boxster?
I’ve been in love with Porsches since childhood, and now I’m finally going to buy one. I’m looking at the Porsche Boxster, but shopping for one is confusing. What’s a 986? Why is the 718 newer but has a smaller number? And what’s the best year for a used Porsche Boxster?
