To open the rear trunk, ensure Model Y is in Park, then do one of the following:

• 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.
• Press the switch located under the liftgate's exterior handle (a valid key must be detected).

Model Y must be unlocked or detect a key before you can use the switch to open the liftgate.

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.

A low voltage power outlet is located on the left side of the rear trunk.

Customize the opening height of your trunk and save it as the default or for a specific location, such as your garage.

1. To set a height, pause the trunk while it's moving, using the touchscreen. Alternatively, manually adjust to the preferred height by manually lowering or raising the liftgate.
2. To save the preferred height, follow the prompts on the touchscreen or press and hold the button on the underside of the liftgate until you hear a confirmation chime.

   

3. To reset your existing trunk opening to the factory default settings, or to clear any saved locations, go to Controls > Service > Remove Saved Locations.

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

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

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.

To access the cargo area inside the rear trunk, pull up 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.

Distribute the weight of cargo as evenly as possible between the front and rear trunks.

Model Y has four hooks located in the rear trunk (two toward the front and two toward the back). These hooks are designed to attach to the four corners of a lashing device, such as a cargo net, to secure objects to the rear trunk floor in normal highway and city driving. For more information, follow the instructions from a third-party lashing device manufacturer.

The cargo hooks are designed to secure loose objects in the cargo area. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the rear trunk (see Accessing the Cargo Area).
