How do you turn a Tesla Model S off?

How do you turn off a Tesla model S? I feel like it's always on and that doesn't seem energy efficient to me.

Teslas
are already efficient, but it makes sense you’d like to be as eco friendly as possible!
To turn off a
Tesla Model S
, all you need to do is put the car in park, exit the car, and close the door. That alone should turn off the car, but there’s also a manual option:
  • Put your car in park.
  • Tap Controls on the touchscreen.
  • In the next menu, press Safety and Security.
  • Finally, tap power off to turn off the car.
Teslas can seem complicated at first, but you’ll adjust after a little practice. But if the controls are too complex for you, try to take it slow for a bit. Insurance is already expensive for luxury cars and you don’t need a sudden
increase after a collision
.
