distraction and ensure the safety of vehicle occupants as well as other road users, avoid using

Opening and Closing
Keys
Three Types of Keys
Model 3 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 the
Tesla Account, you must switch the mobile
app to the vehicle that you want to access
before you can use the phone as a key.
Key Card Tesla provides you with two Model 3 key
cards, designed to fit in your wallet. Tap your
Model 3 key card on one of its card readers,
located on the driver

1.Front trunk - Double-click to open the
front trunk.
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 open the rear
trunk. Hold down for one to two seconds to open the charge port door.
Once inside, power up Model 3 by pressing the
brake pedal within two minutes of pressing
the unlock button on the key fob (see Starting
and Powering Off on page 54). 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 3
carrying the key fob, you do not need to point the key fob at Model 3 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 (phone, laptop, etc.).
If the key fob does not work (for example, its
battery is dead), you can touch its

mobile app installed and connected to the
vehicle’s Tesla account.
1. While sitting in the vehicle, open the Tesla
mobile app and select the appropriate
vehicle (if there are multiple vehicles
associated with the account), then touch
Phone Key > Start .
2. Scan an already-authenticated key card or
key fob on the key reader behind the cup
holders on the top of the center console.
3. When the mobile app notifies you that the
pairing was successful, touch Done. The
key list on the touchscreen ( Controls >
Locks ) displays the new phone key. The
name of the phone key is determined by
the name used in the phone’s settings.
Removing a key:
When you no longer want a key to access your
vehicle (for example, you lost your phone or key card, etc.), you can remove the key.
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls >
Locks .
2. Find the key that you would like to delete
in the key list, then touch the key’s
associated trash icon.
3. When prompted, scan an already-
authenticated key card or key fob on the
key reader behind the cup holders on the
top of the center console to confirm the
deletion. When complete, the key list no
longer includes the deleted key.
Note: Your vehicle requires at least one
authenticated key card or key fob at all times.
If only one key card is included on the key list,
this key cannot be deleted.
Mobile App

as your Model 3 key, you can use the mobile
app to communicate with Model 3 remotely
using your iPhone
