About the former, just hold for approx 10-15 seconds the two wheels on the steering wheel, wait for the screen to go black, and release them as soon as the Tesla logo is visible again on the main screen.

you can try the hard reset procedure.

Updates

For some months now, Tesla has updated the manuals of its cars, pointing out that, by doing the hard reset, it is practically useless and will no longer have any impact on it.

If even this does not solve the problem, all you have to do is call Tesla Support and ask for a remote reboot, which will surely fix all the problems.
