Opening
To open the rear trunk, ensure the vehicle is in
Park,
then pull the rear trunk open:
• Touch the associated OPEN button on the
touchscreen.
• Double-click the rear trunk button on the
key fob accessory.
• Touch the rear trunk button on the mobile
app.
• With Model 3 unlocked, press the switch
located under the rear trunk's exterior
handle.
When a door or the rear
trunk is open, the
touchscreen displays the
Door Open indicator light.
The image of your
Model
3 on the touchscreen also
displays the open trunk.
To open the rear trunk from inside Model 3 in
the unlikely situation that
Model 3 has no
power, see Interior Emergency Trunk Release
on page 21.
WARNING:
Before opening or closing
the rear trunk, it is important to check
that the area around the trunk is free
of obstacles (people and objects).
Load Limits
Secure all cargo before moving Model 3, and
place heavy cargo in the lower trunk
compartment.
CAUTION: To avoid damage, never
load more than 130 lbs (60 kg) on the
rear load floor (above the lower trunk
compartment), or more than 285 lbs
(130 kg) in the large lower trunk
compartment. Doing so can cause
damage.
Closing
To close the rear trunk, push it downward
until you hear the latch click into place.
NOTE: Model 3 is equipped with pull cups to
assist with lowering the rear trunk.
WARNING: Before driving, ensure that
the trunk is securely latched in the
fully-closed position by lifting up on
the bottom edge and confirming there
is no movement.
Accessing the Cargo Area
To access the cargo area inside the rear trunk,
pull up the strap at the rear of the cargo
cover. You can then fold the cargo cover
forward or remove it from
Model 3.
