To adjust the steering yoke, touch Controls and touch the Steering icon. Use the left scroll button on the steering yoke to move the steering yoke to the desired position: – To adjust the height/tilt angle of the steering yoke, roll the left scroll button up or down. – To move the steering yoke closer to you, or further away from you, press the left scroll button to the left or right.
Warning: Do not make steering yoke adjustments while driving.
Adjusting Steering Effort
You can adjust the feel and sensitivity of the steering system to suit your personal preference:
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Pedals & Steering > Steering Mode. 2. Choose a steering option: Comfort – Reduces the effort required to turn the steering yoke. In town, Model S feels easier to drive and park. Standard – Tesla believes that this setting offers the best handling and response in most conditions. Sport – Increases the effort required to turn the steering yoke. When driving at higher speeds, Model S feels more responsive.
Steering Yoke Buttons
Model S features stalkless driving in which all controls you need when driving are accessible on the steering yoke:
Right turn signal. High beam headlights*. Left turn signal. Left scroll button. Horn. Identifier that is always illuminated to indicate that the right scroll wheel can be used with cruise control. Wipers*. Right scroll button. Voice commands.
*The behaviors associated with the buttons for headlight high beams and wipers vary depending on whether you press or press and hold the button.
Note: Simultaneously holding down both the left and right scroll buttons while Model S is parked causes the touchscreen to restart.
Left Scroll Button
Use the scroll button on the left side of the steering yoke to adjust the position of the mirrors and steering yoke. It also controls the wipers and media player.
When using media player, push the button to the left to go back to the previous song or station or push it to the right to skip to the next song or station. To increase/decrease the volume of the sound system, roll the button up/down.
Note: The scroll button adjusts the volume for media and phone calls based on what is currently in use. As you adjust the volume, the touchscreen displays the volume level and whether you are adjusting volume for media or phone.
To mute the media volume, or to pause/play an audio file, push the scroll button.
When adjusting mirrors, push the button to the left/right to move the associated mirror inward/outward and up/down to position the mirror upward or downward.
When adjusting the position of the steering yoke, roll the button up/down to adjust the tilt/angle and press the button to the left or right to move the steering yoke closer or further.
When a menu displays on the instrument panel from which you can choose options (for example, wipers), use the scroll button to choose an option (up, down, left, or right).
Right Scroll Button
Use the scroll button on the right side of the steering yoke to control Autopilot features such as Autosteer and Traffic-Aware Cruise Control:
When driving, push and release the button to engage Autosteer or Traffic-Aware Cruise Control. If Autosteer Activation is set to Double Click (touch Controls > Autopilot Activation > Autosteer Activation), a single push engages Traffic-Aware Cruise Control only and you must push and release twice to engage Autosteer. Once engaged, pushing the button cancels Autosteer and/or Traffic-Aware Cruise Control.
When Model S is in Park, push the button twice to automatically engage Summon (if equipped) before exiting the vehicle.
When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is engaged, rolling the scroll button up/down increase/decreases the set cruising speed respectively.
Note: There is currently no action associated with pushing the right scroll button to the left and right.
Heated Steering Yoke
To warm up the steering yoke, touch the temperature icon on the touchscreen to display climate controls, then touch the steering yoke icon. When turned on, radiant heat keeps the steering yoke at a comfortable temperature.
Horn
To sound the horn, press and hold the horn button on the right side of the steering yoke.

Performance
Three independent motors provide instant torque and unmatched power at any speed so drivers can merge safely and keep pace with traffic. Accelerate from 0-60 mph in 20 seconds, fully loaded, and maintain highway-level speeds even up steep grades.
Safety
Semi comes standard with active safety features that pair with advanced motor and brake controls to deliver traction and stability in all conditions. A central seating position gives the driver better visibility, while an all-electric architecture reduces both rollover risk and cabin intrusion in case of an accident.
Range
Combination trucks account for about 18 percent of U.S. vehicle emissions—Semi will help change that. With less than 2 kWh per mile of energy consumption, Semi can travel up to 500 miles on a single charge. Recover up to 70 percent of range in 30 minutes using Tesla’s Semi Chargers.
Cost of Ownership
Charging with electricity is approximately 2.5 times cheaper per mile than refueling with diesel.* Operators can see estimated fuel savings of up to $200,000 within their first three years of ownership. With remote diagnostics, over-the-air software updates and fewer moving parts to maintain, operators will spend less time at service centers and more time on the road.

• Phone key – You can set up your personal phone as a “phone key” that communicates with Model Y using Bluetooth. A phone key supports automatic locking and unlocking.
• Key card – Tesla provides a key card that communicates with Model Y using short range radio-frequency identification (RFID) signals. The key card is used to “authenticate” phone keys to work with Model Y and to add or remove other key cards, phone keys, or key fobs. Unlike the phone key and key fob, the key card does not support automatic locking and unlocking. In situations where your phone key has a dead battery, or is lost or stolen, use your key card to unlock, drive, and lock Model Y.
• Key fob – The key fob allows you to press buttons to open the front and rear trunks, and unlock, lock, and drive Model Y. The key fob also supports automatic locking and unlocking, if available in your region and can be used as a backup to your phone key. The key fob is an accessory sold separately.
CAUTION: Remember to bring a key with you when you drive. Although you can drive Model Y away from its key, you will be unable to power it back on after it powers off.
Managing Keys
To display a list of all keys (phone keys, key cards, and key fobs) that can access your Model Y, touch Controls > Locks. An icon displays next to each key to indicate whether the key is a phone key, key card, or key fob. Use this list to manage keys that have access to your Model Y.
Model Y supports up to 19 keys. When you reach this limit, you must delete a key before adding a new one.
NOTE: You can use the same key for more than one Model Y. This prevents you from having to deal with multiple keys when you switch vehicles. If you customize the name of an authenticated key card or key fob on one Model Y (by touching the pencil icon), any other Model Y to which the key card or key fob is authenticated also displays the changed name.
Adding and Removing Keys
To add a new key card or key fob:
NOTE: When adding a key fob, ensure it is at room temperature. Pairing a key fob that is very cold can be unsuccessful.
On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Locks then touch + in the Keys section.
Scan your new key card or key fob on the card reader located behind the cup holders on the top of the center console. After the new key card or key fob is recognized, remove it from the card reader.
Scan a key card or key fob that has already been paired to the vehicle to confirm new key pairing.
When complete, the key list includes the new key. Touch the associated pencil icon to customize the name of the key.
To add a new phone key:
NOTE: You must enable Bluetooth on the phone and have the Tesla mobile app installed and connected to your Tesla account.
While sitting in Model Y, open the Tesla mobile app (if you have multiple Tesla vehicles, select the appropriate vehicle), then touch Set Up Phone Key on the main screen, or navigate to Security > Set Up Phone Key.
Scan an authenticated key card or key fob on the card reader located behind the cup holders on the top of the center console.
When the mobile app notifies you that pairing was successful, touch Done. The key list on the touchscreen (touch Controls > Locks) includes the newly authenticated phone key. The name of the phone key is determined by the name used in the phone’s settings.
Removing a key:
When you no longer want a key to access Model Y (for example, you lost your phone or key card, etc.), follow these steps to remove it.
On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Locks.
In the key list, find the key that you would like to delete and touch its associated trash icon.
When prompted, scan an authenticated key card or key fob on the card reader to confirm the deletion. When complete, the key list no longer includes the deleted key.
NOTE: Model Y requires at least one authenticated key card or key fob at all times. If only one key card remains on the key list, you cannot delete it.
Tesla provides you with two Model Y key cards, designed to fit in your wallet.
To use a key card to unlock or lock Model Y, position the card as shown and tap it against the card reader located approximately one third the way up of the driver’s side door pillar. When Model Y detects the key card, the exterior lights flash, the mirrors unfold or fold (if Fold Mirrors is on), the horn sounds (if Lock Confirmation Sound is on), and the doors unlock or lock.
NOTE: You may need to physically touch the wireless phone charger or driver’s side door pillar with the key card, and you may need to hold it against the transmitter for one or two seconds.
Once inside, power up Model Y by pressing the brake pedal within two minutes of scanning the key card. If you wait longer than two minutes, you must re-authenticate by placing the key card near the card reader located behind the cup holders on the center console. When your key card is detected, your two minute authentication period restarts.
NOTE: If enabled, Walk-Away Door Lock operates only when you walk away using a phone key or passive key fob. When you walk away carrying your key card, Model Y does not automatically unlock/lock.
CAUTION: Always carry your key card with you in your purse or wallet to use as a backup in case your authenticated phone has a dead battery, or is lost or stolen.
Key Fob
If you have purchased the key fob accessory (available for purchase from Tesla), you can quickly familiarize yourself with this key by thinking of it as a miniature version of Model Y, with the Tesla badge representing the front. The key has three buttons that feel like softer areas on the surface.
Front trunk – Double-click to unlatch the front trunk.
Lock/Unlock All – Single-click to lock doors and trunks (all doors and trunks must be closed). Double-click to unlock doors and trunks.
Rear trunk – Double-click to unlatch the rear trunk. Hold down for one to two seconds to open the charge port door.
Once inside, power up Model Y by pressing the brake pedal within two minutes of pressing the unlock button on the key fob (see Starting and Powering Off on page 50). If you wait longer than two minutes, you must press the unlock button again, or place the key fob near the card reader located behind the cup holders on the center console. When your key fob is detected, the two minute authentication period restarts.
When approaching or leaving Model Y carrying the key fob, you do not need to point the key fob at Model Y as you press a button, but you must be within operating range.
Radio equipment on a similar frequency can affect the key. If this happens, move the key at least one foot (30 cm) away from other electronic devices (phones, laptops, etc.).
In the event that the key fob’s battery is dead, you can still use it to drive the vehicle by scanning the key fob on the card reader located on the driver’s side door pillar (like the key card) .
NOTE: You can use the same key fob with multiple Model Y vehicles provided you authenticate it. However, key fob works with only one Model Y at a time. Therefore, to use a key fob for a different Model Y, touch its flat side against the card reader on the driver’s side door pillar.
NOTE: Model Y supports up to four different key fobs.
CAUTION: Protect the key from impact, high temperatures, and damage from liquids. Avoid contact with solvents, waxes, and abrasive cleaners.
Passive Locking and Unlocking
NOTE: Only key fobs with the TESLA logo printed on the flat side support the passive locking and unlocking feature.
Locking and unlocking Model Y with your key fob is conveniently hands-free. Although you must be carrying a paired key fob, there is no need to use it. Model Y has sensors around the vehicle that can recognize the presence of a key fob within a range of approximately six feet (two meters). Therefore, you can keep your key fob in your pocket or purse and simply pull on the door handle to unlock. When carrying your key fob with you, you can also open the trunk without having to use the key by pressing the powered liftgate’s exterior door handle. If Walk-Away Door Lock is enabled, Model Y automatically locks when you exit and the key fob is no longer in range. Passive locking and unlocking is automatically enabled when you pair your key fob to Model Y.
Although you can use the same key fob with multiple vehicles, it can only be paired to one vehicle at a time. To activate a paired key fob to a different vehicle, touch the flat side onto the driver’s side door pillar and click any button on the key fob to confirm.
NOTE: For increased security, passive locking and unlocking disables after being stationary for five minutes while within vehicle range when the vehicle is not in use (for example, you are standing outside your vehicle). In this situation, you must shake or press a button on the key fob to re-enable passive locking and unlocking.
Replacing the Key Fob Battery
Under normal use, the key fob has a battery that lasts for up to one year, depending on key fob version and selected vehicle settings. When the battery is low, a message displays on the touchscreen.
To replace the key fob battery:
With the key fob placed button side down on a soft surface, release the bottom cover, using a small flat-bladed tool.
Remove the battery by lifting it away from the retaining clips.
While avoiding touching the battery’s flat surfaces, insert the new battery (type CR2032 ) with the ‘+’ side facing up.
Holding the bottom cover at an angle, align the tabs on the cover with the corresponding slots on the key fob, then press the cover firmly onto the key fob until it snaps into place.
Test that the key fob works by unlocking and locking Model Y.
WARNING: Key fob batteries contain a chemical burn hazard and should not be ingested. The key fob contains a coin cell battery. If the coin cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns within two hours and can lead to death. Keep new and used batteries away from children. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
You can set up your personal phone as a “phone key” that communicates with Model Y using Bluetooth. A phone key supports automatic locking and unlocking.
Using your phone as a key is a convenient way to access your Model Y. As you approach, your phone’s Bluetooth signal is detected and doors unlock when you press a door handle. Likewise, when you exit and walk away with the phone key, doors automatically lock (provided the Walk-Away Door Lock feature is turned on).
Before you can use a phone to access Model Y, follow these steps to authenticate it:
Download the Tesla mobile app to your phone.
Log into the Tesla mobile app using your Tesla Account user name and password. NOTE: You must remain logged in to your Tesla Account to use your phone to access Model Y.
Ensure that your phone’s Bluetooth settings are turned on.
You must have your phone’s Bluetooth setting turned on AND you must also ensure that Bluetooth is turned on within your phone’s global settings for the Tesla mobile app. For example, on your phone, navigate to Settings, choose the Tesla mobile app, and ensure the Bluetooth setting is enabled.
NOTE: Model Y communicates with your phone using Bluetooth. To authenticate your phone to use it as a key, the phone must be powered on and Bluetooth must be enabled. Keep in mind that your phone must have enough battery power to run Bluetooth and that many phones disable Bluetooth when the battery is low.
Ensure location access is enabled by viewing the mobile app in your phone’s settings and selecting Location > Always. For the best experience, keep the mobile app running in the background.
Ensure that Allow Mobile Access is enabled (Controls > Safety & Security > Allow Mobile Access).
In the Tesla mobile app, touch PHONE KEY then touch START to search for your Model Y. When your Model Y is detected, the mobile app asks you to tap your key card.
Tap the key card against the Model Y card reader on the door pillar or center console.
When Model Y detects your key card, the mobile app confirms that your phone key has been successfully authenticated. Touch DONE.
If the key card is not successfully scanned within approximately thirty seconds, the mobile app displays an error message. To retry, touch PHONE KEY again in the Tesla mobile app.
To view a list of keys that can currently access Model Y, or to remove a phone key, touch Controls > Locks
Authenticating your phone allows you to use it as a key to access Model Y.
Model Y can connect to three phone keys simultaneously. Therefore, if more than one phone key is detected and you want to use, or authenticate, a different phone, move the other connected phone key(s) out of range or turn off its Bluetooth setting.
Unlike the mobile app, once a phone has been authenticated, it no longer requires an internet connection to be used as a phone key for Model Y. Authenticated phone keys communicate with Model Y using Bluetooth. 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.
NOTE: Although Bluetooth typically communicates over distances of up to approximately 30 feet (9 meters), performance can vary based on the phone you are using, environmental interference, etc.
NOTE: If multiple vehicles are linked to your Tesla account, you must ensure that the vehicle you want the mobile app to access is currently selected on the mobile app.
