The Tesla mobile app allows you to communicate with Model
Y remotely using your iPhone® or Android™ phone.
NOTE: The information below may not represent an
exhaustive list of the functions available on the Tesla mobile
app. To ensure access to new and improved features,
download updated versions of the mobile app as they
become available.
To Use the Mobile App
To set up the Tesla mobile app to communicate with your
Model Y:
1.
Download the Tesla mobile app to your phone.
2.
Log in to the Tesla mobile app by entering your Tesla
account credentials.
3.
Enable mobile access to your Model Y by touching
Controls > Safety > Allow Mobile Access.
4.
Turn your phone's Bluetooth setting ON and ensure that
Bluetooth is turned on within your phone's global settings
for the Tesla mobile app. For example, on your phone,
navigate to Settings, choose the Tesla mobile app, and
ensure the Bluetooth setting is enabled.
Your phone and vehicle must both be actively connected to
cellular service or Wi-Fi for the mobile app to communicate
with your vehicle. Tesla recommends that you always have a
functional physical key readily available if parking in an area
with limited or absent cellular service, such as an indoor
parking garage.
NOTE: In the event that you require lockout assistance from
Tesla due to a non-warranty issue, such as having limited
cellular connectivity and having no secondary key available,
your expenses are not covered under the Roadside
Assistance policy.
NOTE: Tesla does not support the use of third party
applications to contact Model Y.
Mobile App for Apple Watch
You can also use the mobile app on your Apple Watch.
The Tesla mobile app for Apple Watch requires:
•
An Apple Watch Series 6, Apple Watch SE 2, or Apple
Watch Ultra 1 or newer with watchOS 11.0 or newer.
•
Vehicle firmware version 2024.44.25 or newer.
•
Tesla Mobile app version 4.39.5 or newer.
Before using the Tesla mobile app on your Apple Watch,
ensure that your iPhone and Apple Watch are updated to the
latest available software version. To add the Tesla mobile app
to your Apple Watch, use the Watch app on your iPhone.
You can use the Tesla Apple Watch app to lock and unlock
Model Y, open and close the trunk, and open the frunk.
In addition, you can use your Apple Watch as a key the same
way you would use your phone as a key. For more
information, see Keys on page 21.
Overview
When both your phone and the vehicle have internet service,
the Tesla mobile app's home screen allows you to:
• Lock or unlock your vehicle.
• Enable or disable the heating or air conditioning and
monitor the cabin climate.
•
Check your vehicle's charging information. Charging
details also appear when a charging cable is plugged in.
•
Open or close the charge port.
NOTE: Twisting red lines next to the Battery icon indicate
that the Battery is actively heating up (including while
charging or preparing to charge).
•
See where your vehicle is located.
•
View your vehicle’s estimated range.
• Open the front trunk.
• View your vehicle’s odometer, VIN, and current software
version.
Media settings appear on the mobile app to pause, play,
rewind, fast forward, and adjust the volume of the media
currently playing in the vehicle. You may need to enable
Media settings by touching Audio Settings > Options > Allow
Mobile Control.
For supported video sources, send videos to Tesla Theater by
sharing the link through the mobile app. Navigate to the
movie, show, or video you want to play on your phone and
touch the share button. Share the video with the Tesla app
and it appears on the touchscreen if
Model Y is in Park.
CAUTION: If you want to lock the doors while inside
Model Y so that they cannot be opened from the
outside, close the doors and use the lock icon on the
touchscreen. This temporarily overrides any phone
lock settings, such as Walk-Away Door Lock.
Otherwise, because your phone is enabled as a key, the
doors will unlock when the exterior door handles are
pulled even if you press the lock icon on your mobile
app. If you open the door from the inside, that will once
again allow the doors to be opened from the outside so
long as the phone key is detected. (see Phone Key on
page 21 for more information).
Profile
In the Profile tab located at the top corner, you can:
•
Switch to a different vehicle associated with your Tesla
account, if you have access to more than one.
•
Navigate the Tesla Shop.
