Replacing the Key Fob Battery
Under normal use, the accessory key fob
(available at https://shop.tesla.com) has a
battery that lasts for up to five years,
depending on key fob version and selected
vehicle settings. When the battery is low, a
message displays on the touchscreen.
To replace the key fob battery:
1. With the key fob placed button side down
on a soft surface, release the bottom
cover.
2. Remove the battery by lifting it away from
the retaining clips.
3. While avoiding touching the battery's flat
surfaces, insert the new battery (type
CR2032) with the ‘+’ side facing up.
Note: CR2032 batteries can be purchased
through online retailers, local
supermarkets, and drug stores.
4. Holding the bottom cover at an angle,
align the tabs on the cover with the
corresponding slots on the key fob, then
press the cover firmly onto the key fob
until it snaps into place.
5. Test that the key fob works by unlocking
and locking your vehicle.
Attaching a Lanyard
To attach a lanyard, release the bottom cover
as described above. Place the lanyard over the
pin located between the slots on the widest
side of the key fob. Re-align the cover and
snap into place.
Managing Keys
To display a list of all keys (phones, 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 card, or key fob. Use this list to
manage keys that have access to your vehicle.
To add or delete keys, see Adding and
Removing Keys on page 12.
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 same
customized name.
Note: Model Y supports up to 19 keys. When
you reach this limit, you must delete a key
before adding a new one.
Adding and Removing Keys
Adding a new key card or key fob:
Note: If adding a key fob, ensure the key fob is
at room temperature. Pairing may be
unsuccessful if the key fob is cold.
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls >
Locks then touch + in the Keys section.
2. Scan your new key card or key fob on the
key reader 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 key reader.
3. Scan an already-authenticated (i.e. already
has access to the vehicle) key card or key
fob on the key reader behind the cup
holders on the top of the center console.
4. When complete, the key list on the
touchscreen displays the newly-
authenticated key. You can customize its
name by touching the associated pencil
icon.
Adding a new phone key:
Note: To add a new phone key, Bluetooth must
be enabled and the phone must have the Tesla
Keys
