Get Opening and Closing -> Rear Trunk Guide for Tesla Model-Y SUV 2023

Rear Trunk

Opening

NOTE: In emergency situations, you can override an

open or close command by grasping the liftgate to stop

it in place.

To open the rear trunk, ensure Model Y is in Park, then

do one of the following:

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.

• Touch the associated Open button on the

touchscreen.

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

• Touch the rear trunk button on the mobile app.

A low voltage power socket is located on the left side of

the rear trunk.

• Press the switch located under the liftgate's exterior

handle (a valid key must be detected).

CAUTION: Before opening the liftgate in an

enclosed area (such as a garage), ensure the

opening height of the liftgate is properly adjusted

to avoid low-hanging ceilings or objects (see

Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height on page 18).

Model Y must be unlocked or detect a key before you

can use the switch to open the liftgate.

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.

When 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.

3. Conﬁrm that you have set it to the desired height by

closing the liftgate, then reopening it.

Rear Trunk

CAUTION: Depending on conﬁguration (such as

suspension height or wheel selection), your

vehicle's liftgate can open up to approximately 7.5

feet (2.3 meters) high. Adjust the liftgate height to

prevent it from coming into contact with low

ceilings or other objects.

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.

The cargo weight should be distributed as evenly as

possible between the front and rear trunks.

• Press the switch located on the underside of the

liftgate

CAUTION: Never load more than 88 lbs (40 kg) in

the lower tub compartment of the rear trunk or

more than 287 lbs (130 kg) on the upper ﬂoor.

Doing so can cause damage.

If the liftgate senses an obstruction when closing, it

stops moving and chimes two times. Remove the

obstruction and try closing it again.

WARNING: When loading cargo, always consider

the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

(see Vehicle Loading on page 208). The GVWR is the

maximum allowable total mass of the vehicle

including all passengers, ﬂuids, and cargo.

Parcel Shelf (if equipped)

The parcel shelf covers the rear cargo and is useful when

you want to conceal valuables, keep the sun away from

groceries, or minimize noise from rustling objects. To

fold the shelf in, hold the circular panel and slide the

shelf back toward the rear seat. Fold the circular panel

on top of the folded parcel shelf. To unfold, ﬂip over the

circular panel and slide the shelf toward you until it

straightens out.

To remove, fold the back panel and lift the parcel shelf

upward with your hand underneath the bottom of the

shelf to disengage the tabs and magnets in the front

corners. Then slide the parcel shelf out.

CAUTION: Do not place heavy objects on top of

the parcel shelf.

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.
