Center Console
In addition to housing an RFID transmitter that reads key

To open the main storage compartment, squeeze the latch
under the front lip. Open the front storage compartment by
sliding its cover forward.

When opening the center console, always
keep your hands and fingers away from the opening
edge and hinge. Placing your hands and fingers near
the opening or hinge can lead to injury.

Your Model Y has a rear console integrated in the center of
the second row seat back. Pull the console down to access
the rear cup holders or use it as an armrest.
NOTE: The rear console is self-locking in certain situations
and cannot be lowered. For example, while driving on a steep
slope or during hard accelerations.
