Opening And Closing; Keys - Tesla CYBERTRUCK Owner's Manual

Types of Keys
NOTE: In the event you lose both key cards, schedule a
service appointment through the mobile app to replace
and pair them.
Cybertruck supports the following types of keys:
• Phone key - You can set up your personal phone as a
"phone key" that communicates with Cybertruck
using Bluetooth (BLE). A phone key supports
automatic locking and unlocking.
• Key card - Tesla provides key cards that
communicate with Cybertruck using short range
radio-frequency identification (RFID) signals. The key
card is used to "authenticate" phone keys to work
with Cybertruck and to add or remove other keys.
Unlike the phone key, the key card does not support
automatic locking and unlocking and must be
touched against a card reader. In situations where
your phone key has a dead battery, or is lost or
stolen, use your key card to unlock, drive, and lock
Cybertruck.
Cybertruck supports a total of 19 keys, which can include
phone keys and key cards.
CAUTION: Remember to bring a key (and a
backup key) with you when you drive. Although
you can drive Cybertruck away from a detected
key, you will be unable to power it back on after it
powers off.
Phone Key
CAUTION: Do not leave your paired phone in your
vehicle (for example, if you are hiking or at the
beach). If you must leave your phone in the
vehicle, disable Bluetooth and/or turn the phone
off and ensure that you keep a key card with you.
Using your phone as a key is a convenient way to access
your Cybertruck. As you approach your vehicle, the
smartphone's Bluetooth signal is detected and the doors
unlock when you press a door open button. Likewise,
when you exit and walk away with the phone key, doors
automatically lock (provided the Walk-Away Door Lock
feature is turned on; see Walk-Away Door Lock on page
33).
Before you can use a phone to access Cybertruck, follow
these steps to authenticate it:
1. Download the Tesla mobile app to your phone.
2. Log into the Tesla mobile app using your Tesla
account username and password.
NOTE: You must remain logged in to your Tesla
account to use your phone to access Cybertruck.

Opening and Closing

NOTE: If multiple vehicles are linked to your Tesla
account, Cybertruck opens the most recent vehicles
in the mobile app for easy accesss.
3. Confirm:
◦ Your phone's Bluetooth setting is turned on.
◦ The Tesla mobile app can access your phone's
Bluetooth. On your phone, navigate to Settings,
choose the Tesla mobile app, and ensure the
Bluetooth setting is turned on.
◦ Allow the Tesla mobile app to access your
location. For the best experience, keep the mobile
app running in the background.
◦ Mobile access is enabled for your vehicle. On the
touchscreen, touch Controls > Safety > Allow
Mobile Access.
NOTE: Cybertruck communicates with your phone
using Bluetooth. Keep in mind that your phone must
have enough battery power to support Bluetooth
(some phones disable Bluetooth when the battery is
low).
4. While inside or near the vehicle, open the Tesla
mobile app and touch Set Up Phone Key on the main
screen, or navigate to Security > Set Up Phone Key.
Follow the prompts on the mobile app and vehicle
touchscreen to set up your phone key.
NOTE: You must have your key card available in order
to set up a phone key.
To view a list of keys that can currently access
Cybertruck, or to remove a phone key, touch Controls >
Locks (see Managing Keys on page
Cybertruck can connect to three phone keys
simultaneously. Therefore, if more than three phone keys
are detected and you want to authenticate or pair a
different phone, move the other connected phone key(s)
out of range or turn off its Bluetooth setting.
Once a phone has been authenticated, it no longer
requires an internet connection to be used as a phone
key for Cybertruck. However, to use the phone hands-
free, access your phone's contacts, play media from it,
etc., you must also pair it and connect it as a Bluetooth
device (see Bluetooth on page
NOTE: Some Android smartphones with NFC capability
can be used to lock/unlock your vehicle, just like using a
key card. Ensure the Tesla mobile app is correctly paired
to your vehicle and enable the NFC function on your
phone. Once enabled, simply hold the phone to the
driver's side door pillar to lock or unlock the door. Refer
to your smartphone's instructions for specific
information on how to do this.
Key Card
Tesla provides you with two Cybertruck key cards,
designed to fit in your wallet.
