5. Test that the key fob works by unlocking and locking
Model Y.
WARNING: Key fob batteries contain a chemical
burn hazard and should not be ingested. The key
fob contains a coin cell battery. If the coin cell
battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal
burns within two hours and can lead to death.
Keep new and used batteries away from children. If
the battery compartment does not close securely,
stop using the product and keep it away from
children. If you think batteries might have been
swallowed or placed inside any part of the body,
seek immediate medical attention.
Managing Keys
To display a list of all keys (phone keys, key cards, and key fobs) that can access your
Model Y, touch Controls
> Locks. An icon displays next to each key to indicate
whether the key is a phone key, key card, or key fob. Use
this list to manage keys that have access to your
Model
Y. To add or delete keys, see Adding and Removing Keys
on page 13.
Model Y supports up to 19 keys. When you reach this
limit, you must delete a key before adding a new one.
NOTE: You can use the same key for more than one
Model Y. This prevents you from having to deal with
multiple keys when you switch vehicles. If you customize the name of an authenticated key card or key fob on one
Model Y (by touching the pencil icon), any other Model
Y to which the key card or key fob is authenticated also
displays the changed name.
Adding and Removing Keys
To add a new key card or key fob:
NOTE: When adding a key fob, ensure it is at room
temperature. Pairing a key fob that is very cold can be unsuccessful.
1.
On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Locks > Keys >
Add Key.
2.
Scan your new key card or key fob on the card reader located behind the cup holders on the top of the center console. After the new key card or key fob is recognized, remove it from the card reader.
3.
Scan a key card or key fob that has already been paired to the vehicle to
confirm new key pairing.
4.
When complete, the key list includes the new key.
Touch the associated pencil icon to customize the name of the key.
Removing a key:
When you no longer want a key to access Model Y (for
example, you lost your phone or key card, etc.), follow these steps to remove it.1.
On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Locks.
2.
In the key list, find the key that you would like to
delete and touch its associated trash icon.
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 Y requires at least one authenticated key
card or key fob at all times. If only one key card remains on the key list, you cannot delete it.

13Opening and Closing
NOTE: To prevent unauthorized unplugging of the
charge cable, the charge cable latch remains locked and
Model Y must be unlocked or able to recognize your
authenticated phone before you can disconnect the
charge cable.
To disconnect the charge cable:
1.
Press and hold the button on the connector handle to release the latch.
NOTE: You can also release the latch using the
lightning icon on the car status overview on the
touchscreen or mobile app, or by pressing and holding the rear trunk button on the key fob.
2.
Pull the connector from the charge port. The charge
port door automatically closes.
To disconnect the charge cable when using an adapter at a public charge station:
1.
Unlock Model Y.
2.
While holding the public charging handle in one hand and the adapter in the other hand, press and hold the button on the public charging handle and pull both
outwards, removing the handle and adapter at the same time.
NOTE: If the charging station handle separates from
the adapter, leaving the adapter in
Model Y, use the
touchscreen to unlock the charge port.
3.
Press and hold the button on the charging handle
again to release the adapter from the public charging handle.
NOTE: The charge port door automatically closes within
approximately 10 seconds of removing the connector from the charge port.
CAUTION: Tesla strongly recommends leaving
Model Y plugged in when not in use. This
maintains the Battery at the optimum level of
charge.
CAUTION: Model Y does not shift out of Park if the
charge port is unable to determine whether a
charging cable is plugged in. Ensure the charging
cable is unplugged and follow the instructions on
the touchscreen to proceed (see Park on page 56).
Charge Settings
Access charge settings by touching Controls > Charging
when Model Y is in Park. You can also touch the battery
icon on the touchscreen to access charge settings.
1.
Driving distance: Displays the total estimated driving
distance available.
2.
Set limit: Adjust the charge limit by dragging the
arrow below the battery to indicate the level of charging you want. The setting you choose applies to immediate and scheduled charging sessions.
NOTE: For vehicles with Lithium Iron Phosphate
(LFP) high voltage Batteries, Tesla recommends you keep your charge limit to 100%, even for daily use,
and that you also fully charge your vehicle to 100% at
least once per week. To determine if your vehicle is
equipped with an LFP battery, navigate to
Controls >
Software > Additional Vehicle Information. If your
vehicle has an LFP Battery, "High Voltage Battery type: Lithium Iron Phosphate" is listed. If your vehicle
does not have an LFP Battery, the high voltage Battery type is not
specified. See Lithium Iron
Phosphate Batteries on page 167 for more
information.
NOTE: A portion of the battery image may appear
blue. This indicates that a small portion of the energy
stored in the battery is not available because the battery is cold. This is normal and no reason for concern. When the battery warms up, the blue portion no longer displays.
You can further adjust charge settings:
