  • Double-click the rear trunk button on the key fob.

2021 Tesla Model Y Doors 5When a door or trunk 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 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 liftgate while opening, when you double-click, it closes.

Note
In emergency situations, you can override an open or close command by grasping the liftgate to stop it in place.
Warning
Before opening or closing the liftgate, check the surrounding area (for people and objects). 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 injury.

Closing

To close the 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).

If the liftgate senses an obstruction when closing, it stops moving and chimes two times. Remove the obstruction and try closing it again.

Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height

You can adjust the opening height of the 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.
  2. Press and hold the button on the underside of the liftgate for three seconds until you hear a confirmation chime.2021 Tesla Model Y Rear Trunk (2)
  3. Confirm that you have set it to the desired height by closing the liftgate, then reopening it.

Accessing the Cargo Area

To access the cargo area inside the rear trunk, pull up the strap at the rear of the cargo cover. You can then fold the cargo cover forward or remove it from Model Y.

Secure all cargo before moving Model Y, and place heavy cargo in the lower trunk compartment.2021 Tesla Model Y Rear Trunk (3)

CAUTION
Never load more than 130 lbs (60 kg) in the upper compartment of the rear trunk or more than 285 lbs (130 kg) in the lower compartment. Doing so can cause damage.
