Exterior Overview

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 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 3 key cards, designed
to
fit in your wallet.
To use a key card to unlock or lock Model 3, position the
card as shown and tap it against the card reader located
just below the Autopilot camera on 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 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
48). 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 (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

3. When prompted, scan an authenticated key card or key fob on the card reader to
confirm the deletion.
When complete, the key list no longer includes the deleted key.
NOTE: Model 3 requires at least one authenticated key
card or key fob at all times. If only one key card remains on the key list, you can not delete it.

Interior Locking and Unlocking
While sitting inside Model 3, you can lock and unlock all
doors and trunks by touching the lock icon
on the
touchscreen.
The icon changes to indicate whether
doors are locked or unlocked.
You can also unlock the doors by pressing the Park
button on the end of the drive stalk a second time.
Pressing this button once engages the Park gear and pressing it again unlocks the doors.
Walk-Away Door Lock
Doors and trunks can automatically lock when you walk away carrying your phone key or paired key fob
(if
ordered after approximately October 1, 2019). To turn
this feature on or
off, touch Controls > Locks > Walk-
Away Door Lock.
When the doors lock, the exterior lights flash once and
the mirrors fold (if
Fold Mirrors is on). To also hear a
confirmation sound when Model 3 locks, touch Controls
> Locks > Lock Confirmation Sound > ON.
Model 3 does not automatically lock if:

Press the interior release button to open the front trunk, then push up on the hood.
NOTE: The interior release button glows following a brief
exposure to ambient light.
WARNING: People should never climb inside the
front trunk. Never shut the front trunk when a
person is inside.
WARNING: Care should be taken to ensure that
objects inside the front trunk do not bump against
the release button, causing the hood to
accidentally open.
Opening Hood with No Power
In the unlikely event that Model 3 has no 12V power, you
will be unable to open the front trunk using the touchscreen, key fob, or mobile app. To open the front
trunk in this situation:
NOTE: The following steps do not open the front trunk if
Model 3 is locked and has 12V power.
1.
Locate an external 12V power supply (such as a
portable jump starter).
2.
Release the tow eye cover by pressing firmly on the
top right perimeter of the cover until it pivots inward, then gently pulling the raised section toward you.
NOTE: Depending on production date, either the
positive or negative terminal may be attached to the tow eye cover.
3.
Pull the two wires out of the tow eye opening to
expose both terminals.
4.
Connect the 12V power supply
