Tesla Model Y: Using Exterior Door Handles

Use your thumb to push the wide part of the door handle. The handle pivots toward you, and you can open the door by pulling the handle or pulling the edge of the door.

Using Exterior Door Handles

The handle retracts automatically.

When a door or trunk is open, the touchscreen displays the Door Open indicator light.

You can specify that you want to unlock only the driver's door when you shift into Park by turning on Controls > Locks > Driver Door Unlock Mode. If off, all doors unlock when you shift into Park.

NOTE: See Cold Weather Best Practices to ensure door handles function properly in cold weather.

WARNING: While using the door handle, take care to avoid allowing fingers, jewelry, acrylic nails, etc. from being pinched by the door or door handle mechanism. Failure to do so may result in damage or injury.
