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.
