How Tesla Access Works
Across the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X lineup, access usually relies on three methods: the Tesla phone app as a phone key, an RFID key card, and an optional Bluetooth key fob. There is no traditional ignition or cut key to copy, so service focuses on pairing approved devices and regaining entry.
