Interior Overview
3Overview

The features and information you need to drive Model Y
are displayed on the touchscreen. When driving, the
touchscreen displays driving-related information such as driving speed, vehicle range, warnings, etc. The touchscreen is used to control many features that, in traditional cars, are controlled using physical buttons (for example, adjusting mirrors). You can also use the touchscreen to customize
Model Y to suit your
preferences.
WARNING: Always pay attention to road and
traffic conditions when driving. To minimize driver
distraction and ensure the safety of vehicle
occupants as well as other road users, avoid using
the touchscreen to adjust settings while the
vehicle is in motion.
NOTE: The image below is provided for demonstration
purposes only. Depending on vehicle options, software
version and market region, your touchscreen may appear
slightly different.
1.
This area on the top of the touchscreen displays useful information and provides shortcuts to various
features. In addition to the time of day
and the
outside temperature, this area displays the following
icons:
Touch to lock/unlock all doors and
trunks.Displays when Dashcam is ready to be used (you have inserted a supported
flash drive into the USB
port). Touch to operate Dashcam
.
When in Park, touch the Dashcam
icon and select "Launch Viewer" to
watch your saved Dashcam and
Sentry Mode clips (see Dashcam on
page 70).
Add, configure, or quickly switch
driver
profiles (including Valet Mode
and Easy Entry). See
Driver Profiles
on page 45.
Displays when a notification is in
effect. Touch to display information
about the
notification. To display a list
of the most recent
notifications, with
the most recent listed
first, you can
also touch
Service > Notifications.
Displays when a software update is
available (see
Software Updates on
page 153).
Touch to enable or disable Sentry
Mode to actively monitor the vehicle



Three Types of Keys
Model Y supports three types of keys:

NOTE: Although Bluetooth typically communicates over
distances of up to approximately
30 feet (9 meters),
performance can vary based on the phone you are
using, environmental interference, etc.
NOTE: If multiple vehicles are linked to your Tesla
account, you must ensure that the vehicle you want the
mobile app to access is currently selected on the mobile app.
Key Card
Tesla provides you with two Model Y key cards, designed
to
fit in your wallet.
To use a key card to unlock or lock Model Y, position the
card as shown and tap it against the card reader located
approximately one third the way up of the driver

2. Lock/Unlock All - Single-click to lock doors and trunks (all doors and trunks must be closed). Double-
click to unlock doors and trunks.3.
Rear trunk - Double-click to unlatch the rear trunk. Hold down for one to two seconds to open the
charge port door.
Once inside, power up Model Y by pressing the brake
pedal within two minutes of pressing the unlock button
on the key fob (see
Starting and Powering Off on page
50). If you wait longer than two minutes, you must
press the unlock button again, or place the key fob near
the card reader located
behind the cup holders on the
center console. When your key fob is detected, the two
minute authentication period restarts.
When approaching or leaving Model Y carrying the key
fob, you do not need to point the key fob at
Model Y as
you press a button, but you must be within operating range.
Radio equipment on a similar frequency can affect the
key. If this happens, move the key at least
one foot
(30 cm) away from other electronic devices (phones,
laptops, etc.).
If the key fob does not work (for example, its battery is dead), you can touch its
flat side against the card reader
on the driver
