Interior Storage

Center Console

In addition to housing an RFID transmitter that reads key fobs and key cards (see Keys), the center console includes cup holders, two storage compartments, and a wireless phone charger (see Interior Electronics).

To open the main storage compartment, pull its cover upward. Open the front storage compartment by sliding its cover forward.

Warning
When opening the center console, always keep your hands and fingers away from the opening edge and hinge. Placing your hands and fingers near the opening or hinge can lead to injury.

Rear Console

Your Model Y has a rear console integrated in the center of the second row seat back. Pull the console down to access the rear cup holders, or use it as an armrest.

Coat Hangers

Your Model Y has a coat hanger on each side of the vehicle in the second row next to the reading light. Push the coat hanger to release it. Push it again to retract it.

Glovebox

To open the glovebox, touch Controls > Glovebox. The glovebox automatically opens and its light turns on.

To close the glovebox, push it upward until it clicks into its closed position.

For additional glovebox security, touch Controls > Safety > Glovebox PIN to set a 4-digit PIN (see Glovebox PIN).

Note
If you leave the glovebox open, its light eventually turns off.
Note
The glovebox locks whenever closed and you lock Model Y using the mobile app, key card, you leave Model Y carrying your phone key (if Walk-Away Door Lock is turned on), or if Valet mode is active (see Valet Mode). It does not lock when Model Y is locked by touching the lock icon on the touchscreen.
Warning
When driving, keep the glovebox closed to prevent injury to a passenger if a collision or sudden stop occurs.
