Two Types of KeysInstead of a traditional key or key fob, Model 3supports two types of keys:•Key card - communicates with Model 3using short range radio-frequencyidentification (RFID) signals. Allows you tounlock, drive, and lock Model 3 by tappingthe key card against a Model 3 RFIDtransmitter.Note: The key card is necessary to allow,or "authenticate", a smart phone to workwith Model 3. It is also considered abackup key in case your authenticatedsmart phone runs out of battery power, oris lost or stolen.•Authenticated smart phone -communicates with Model 3 usingBluetooth. Supports automatic lockingand unlocking, driving, as well as multipleother functions using the Model 3 mobileapp. An authenticated smart phone is thepreferred key because you never need toremove it from your pocket or purse.Each type of key is detailed below.Caution: Remember to bring both yourkey card and authenticated smart phonewith you whenever you drive Model 3.Key CardTesla provides you with two Model 3 keycards, designed to fit in your wallet. The keycard identifies you as a vehicle owner andcommunicates with Model 3 using RFIDtransmitters located under the driverassistance camera on the driver's side doorpillar and behind the cup holders on thecenter console. The key card communicateswith the transmitters within a short range ofapproximately one or two inches. Keep this inmind when expecting Model 3 to recognize it.You will also need your key card toauthenticate a smart phone (see Authenticating your Smart Phone on page7).To use the key card to unlock Model 3, brieflytap it against the hidden RFID transmitterlocated below the driver assistance camera onthe driver's side door pillar. When Model 3detects the key card, exterior lights flashtwice, mirrors unfold (if Mirror Auto Fold ison), and doors unlock.Once inside Model 3, you can drive away if youpower up within 15 seconds by pressing thebrake pedal (see Starting and Powering O onpage 37). If you wait more than 15 secondsbefore powering up, your authenticationperiod expires. To re-authenticate yourself,place the key card near the hidden RFIDtransmitter behind the cup holders on thecenter console so that Model 3 can detect it.Once your key card is detected, your 15-second authentication period restarts.Note: It is important that you position the keycard within an inch or two of an RFIDtransmitter to allow Model 3 to read it. Youmay need to physically touch the centerconsole or driver's side door pillar with the keycard for the RFID transmitter to detect it andyou may need to hold it against thetransmitter for one or two seconds.Note: The Walk Away Lock and Walk UpUnlock features operate only when using anauthenticated smart phone. When you walk upto/away from Model 3 carrying only your keycard, Model 3 does not automatically unlock/lock even if these features are turned on (see Model 3 Keys6 Model 3 Owner's Manual
