Rear Trunk
Opening
To open the rear trunk, ensure the vehicle is in
Park, then do one of the following:
• 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 Y unlocked, press the switch
located under the rear trunk's exterior
handle.
When a door or the rear trunk
powered liftgate is open, the
touchscreen displays the Door Open
indicator light. The image of your
Model Y on the touchscreen also
displays the open trunk.
To stop a powered liftgate while it is moving,
single-click the rear trunk button on the key
fob. Then, when you double-click the rear
trunk button, it moves again, but in the
opposite direction (provided it was not almost
entirely open or closed when you stopped it).
For example, if you single-click to stop the
powered liftgate while it is opening, when you
double-click, it closes.
Note: In emergency situations, you can
override an Open or Close command by
grabbing hold of the powered liftgate to stop
it in place.
Warning:
Before opening or closing the
powered liftgate, it is important to check
that the area around the liftgate is free of
obstacles (people and objects). Although
the powered liftgate can detect obstacles,
it cannot detect all objects at all times. Do
not rely on the liftgate to sense an
obstruction when opening or closing. You
must proactively monitor the liftgate to
ensure that it does not come into contact
with a person or object. Failure to do so
may result in damage or serious injury.
Load Limits
Secure all cargo before moving Model Y, 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 lower trunk compartment.
Doing so can cause damage.
Closing
To close the powered liftgate, do one of the
following:
• Touch the associated CLOSE button on
the touchscreen.
• Double-click the rear trunk button on the
key fob.
• Press the switch located on the underside
of the liftgate (see Adjusting Liftgate
Opening Height on page 18).
If the powered liftgate senses an obstruction
when closing, it stops moving and sounds two
chimes. Remove the obstruction and try
closing it again.
Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height
You can adjust the opening height of the
powered liftgate to make it easier to reach or
to avoid low-hanging ceilings or objects (for
example, a garage door or light):
1. Open the trunk, then manually lower or
raise the liftgate to the desired opening
height.
