The Tesla Model Y does not use a traditional blade-and-transponder key. Instead, it relies on an RFID key card, an optional Bluetooth key fob, and phone key access. That makes a lost or missing key different from most cars, but it is still something you can sort out without towing the vehicle anywhere.

The exact key, hardware and setup depend on your trim and VIN. Before we supply or set up anything, we confirm the correct key for your vehicle by VIN, so you are not left with an accessory that does not match your car. Whether you need an additional spare or have lost every key you had, the starting point is the same: verifying that you own the vehicle.

Crenshaw Lock Company has served Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County since 1987 and is fully mobile. We have no shop, so we come to wherever the Model Y is parked, at home, at work, or on the street, day or night.

Tesla Model Y key systems by year

All model years

The Model Y has no traditional transponder key. Access is handled by an RFID key card, an optional Bluetooth key fob, and a phone key. The card is a flat, credit-card-style item tapped against the car, while the fob and phone connect wirelessly. Replacement generally involves provisioning the new key through the vehicle and your owner account, rather than cutting a blade. Because the exact key and setup depend on trim and VIN, we confirm the correct key by VIN first. If you still have a working key or phone key, adding a spare is typically simpler. If all keys are lost, we verify ownership and work through the vehicle and account process with you.

Exact key, chip and programming vary by trim and VIN — we confirm the right key for your car before cutting.

How we replace your key

    We come to the vehicle

    Our service is fully mobile. A technician travels to your Model Y anywhere in Greater Los Angeles or Ventura County.

    Test everything

    We confirm the new key works for access and driving, and that any remaining keys still function as expected.

What to have ready

Tesla Model Y keys — FAQs

What if I lost all my Tesla Model Y keys?
Call us at (323) 997-8867. We come to the vehicle, verify your ID and proof of ownership, confirm the car by VIN, and work through replacing access with you.
Can you make a spare key for my Model Y?
Yes. Adding a spare is generally more straightforward when you still have a working key or phone key. We confirm the correct key by VIN before setting it up.
I have no original key. Is that a problem?
No. We can help in an all-keys-lost situation. You will need proof of ownership, photo ID, and the VIN so we can verify the vehicle and its correct key.
Is the Model Y key push-button or bladed?
Neither in the traditional sense. The Model Y uses an RFID key card, an optional Bluetooth fob, and phone key, with no conventional cut blade or transponder. The exact setup depends on trim and VIN.
What do I need to have ready?
Proof of ownership, a photo ID, and your VIN. If you have your Tesla account details or any remaining key, have those handy too.
Do I need to bring the car to a shop?
No. We are fully mobile and have no shop. We come to your Model Y wherever it is parked in our service area.
How long does the process take?
It depends on your situation, such as spare versus all keys lost, and on your trim and VIN. We will explain what to expect once we know the details of your vehicle.
