Mastering Tesla Door Handles: A Guide to Effortless Access
by AutoExpert | 15 July, 2024
Tesla's all about pushing boundaries, and that includes how you open the doors! Forget clunky handles, these things are electric and sleek, and might leave you scratching your head at first. But fear not, fellow human! This guide will have you opening those Tesla doors like a pro in no time.
Let's break it down by model:
Model 3 & Model Y:
These two share the same hidden handle trick. Looks fancy, right? Here's how it works:
- Unlock the cаr with your phone key, key cаrd, or fob (depending on your model).
- Find the wide part of the door handle. Give it a push with your thumb and watch it magically pop out.
- Now that it's sticking out, grab it like a normal handle and pull to open the door.
Getting out from the inside is even easier. Just find the button on the inside handle, press it, and push the door open. Easy peasy!
Model S:
This one's got a slightly different handle, but the concept is similar.
- Unlock your Model S like before.
- Give the door handle a push inwards. It should pop out for you to grab.
- Once it's out, pull the handle towards you to open the door.
- From the inside, it's the same button press and push situation as the Model 3 and Y. You can also use the touchscreen to open or close all the doors. Fancy!
Model X:
The Model X gets the "coolest doors" award with its Falcon Wing doors that open upwards. Here's how to handle these beauties:
Manually:
- Outside: Push the handle like the other models.
- Inside: Press the button on the inside handle and push the door open.
Electronically:
- Use the key fob, phone key, or Tesla app to open or close the doors.
- You can also set the car to automatically open the doors when you get close with your key.
Cybertruck:
This futuristic truck ditches the handle altogether. Here's what you do:
- Unlock the Cybertruck (which happens automatically with your phone key, not the key card).
- Find the door release button on the door pillar and press it.
- The door will pop open, ready for you to grab and pull shut.
- From the inside, there's a button on the handle you press to open or close the door.
There you have it! Now you can open those Tesla doors with confidence, no matter the model. No more awkward fumbling or confusion – you've got this!
