Thank you!!!! The missing piece for me was clicking on the icon with the profile of my wife selected. She would unlock the door and it would go to my profile and then she would select her profile. That was really bad because it's her car. I swear I read the manual multiple times. But your video made it crystal clear.
Thank you!!!!!! I’m here if you have questions when the time comes! Comment in any video and I can direct you or answer your questions whether it’s related to the video or not! Happy to help!
Thank you , this is an issue with my family also. We just got a new X (Wow!!!) but key card, key fob,key phone ???? I will need to play your video a couple of times until I get it. You are Awesome.! A big help!
Ahhhh! Congratulations! 🍾🎈🎉🎊 🤩🥳I’m so jealous of your model X!!! Welcome to the family!!! Yes, just play the video on your spouses phone while you set up on one phone, then play it again on the other phone while you set up next one. 😉
First I like to say thank you. I thought I know a lot about my car, and your topic sounds too basic, but after watching it, I realized “you learn something new everyday,” which I did from your clear narration. Thank you, you’re AWESOME!
Well, THANK YOU!!!!! That’s exactly how I feel when I’m making them! I’m like, is this stupid? Does everyone know this already? But then I remember there was a point where I didn’t know it either, so if I can help just one person.. then it’s worth my effort. Maybe I should work on my titles? To let people know it’s not as basic as they think? Idk. Also, every time I teach y’all something, y’all teach me right back in the comments! That’s why I love this community so much!!!!!!!! And my car too! Every time we think we know it all, or get bored.. bam! Here’s something new and amazing! Right?! Thank you so much for this comment, it is a huge compliment. 💚 YOU are awesome 🤩
Thanks for the tip Sara. I have been trying to figure out the seat adjustment part ever since we bought out model Y. You definitely saved our marriage.
Oh my God 😂 Well, that’s good your marriage is intact! But there’s definitely something not working right with it not detecting her phone and changing the profile. It should work. What are your settings for her?
@@SaraJAwesome just some default settings, nothing other than mirrors and steering wheel preferences. One more thing, I do see the profile show her phone next to it. That should considered correct setup right?
Yes, it just because the phone is next to her doesn’t mean you have her set as the primary driver where it will set things up for her when her phone is detected. I’ll try to look and see what the main setting for that is when I go out to my car today. I can’t remember.
@@SaraJAwesome don’t worry about it, I think I will try to detach her and re enrolled her and see if that makes any difference. She isn’t a preferred driver profile. But, Tesla should still recognize that setting. A software car will have glitches…look at Microsoft, still patches and updates. Thank you so much for answering back thou! Really appreciate your content and deliverance.
We just got our Model 3 a few weeks ago and I was expecting the profile to automatically associate itself with the phone keys. Now I know there's an extra little button press to make this happen. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this tutorial. I’m a recent Tesla owner and I have to say I have been frustrated with some of the technology and getting everything set up properly. After watching your tutorial I think I have the profiles of me and my wife set up correctly. Finally! Thanks for all you do. Your videos are appreciated
Jeez, I've had my car over a year and did not know this, but the wife has only driven it like twice. We're doing a roadtrip this month so it'll come in handy. Thank you Sara
Yay!!!!!! So happy I taught you something else new!!! It makes me so excited when I teach someone something they don’t know, ESPECIALLY if they’ve already had the car a while! You make my effort and hard work worth it! Thank you!!!!!!!!! Yes, so this before the road trip! Where y’all goin?!
Thank you Sara. I have picked up yesterday my car and I did not had at all clear these kind of configurations. Your explanation and guidance were very useful to me. Great Video!. Regards.
Sara, thank you for taking the time to explain this crucial piece! I have just followed your directions (almost) to set up my wife's iPhone. Very educational and practical advice! The "almost" part is due to the Tesla app sending a text message invite (if one chooses a text message delivery method within the Tesla app of the primary driver). Once my wife has clicked on the invitation link in her Text Messages, and installed the Tesla app she was prompted to create a username and set up a password. Having successfully logged into the Tesla app using the newly created username the iPhone was fully functional and was able to open the Tesla seemingly without needing the keycard. With this out of the way I followed your instructions :)
Thanks for the video. You explained all of the options very clearly. Now I can double check if my keys are properly set up with the profiles. Keep up the good work.
So this is where I did wrong! I was setting up 2 seperate tesla accounts on both mine and my wife’s phone and we just simply could not get it set up. Thanks Sara for pointing out the trick on setting up both phones with the same account!
Thanks Sara. It has been driving my husband crazy that the seat profile stayed in mine when he used his key card to open the car. I watched another video, and it wasn't nearly as clear as yours. Now I have his key card synced with his driver profile and it is perfect. Will do the same for his phone key in the morning. Thanks a million!
Fab video Sara. Thank you for helping us across the world. Big day today here in the UK. First Model Y’s were delivered. Mine arriving (from Shanghai) in March. Best Simon
Oh wow!!!!!!!!! I didn’t know that! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I’m so excited for you! Congratulations and welcome to the TESLA family! Keep me posted on delivery!
Thank you Sara, I love watching your videos and thought I knew enough about the key cards and profiles, but I thought I would watch anyway. You showed me somethings I didn’t know on how to associate an existing profile with a phone. Thank you.
Oh! That makes me so happy!!!! If at least one person learns something new, I call that a win! Thank you for taking the time to watch it and tell me it was helpful to you. Have a great weekend!
Great job again! You do such a good job showing step by step so that there’s no confusion! One other point to make is that if each spouse has their own tesla account (due to having more than 1 Tesla or whatever) they can still add your car under their account. Have a great day!
Correct! You can invite another person’s Tesla account to be a driver under Security, Manage Drivers, Add Driver. This is how I invited my wife to have access to my car.
Barry- is there any advantage to creating 2 Tesla accounts for a single Tesla family or would you recommend just using the same Tesla Account login on both phones? It sounds like either get the job done, but I can see a day where we may have two Tesla's... any pros/cons to consider? Thanks for the great video and comments! Edit: Our Tesla should come next month so I am getting ready to nail the setup process ;)
Just picked up my Model Y this week and your video was exactly what I was looking for. Learned something I didn't know I needed to know as well (me and my wife both walking towards the car and having priority device setting). Thank you for putting this video together! Look forward to watching other videos on your channel.
Nice job Sara, thanks for doing this video. You say the things you do are easy, but everything is easy once you know how to do it! I am going to spend some time in the Model Y and get mine and my wife's phones sorted out as you did! Cheers!
@@SaraJAwesome ps - So, when you gonna visit Giga Austin! It would be neat for you to meet up with other Tesla youtubers when the Eco Paradise is ready!
Hey Sara J, Still luvin your video's and thanks for doing the 'associated' fob/keycard one that I was lucky enough that my rep DID explain that to me when I picked up my car. I was a little suprised you didn't mention our "BUTT" (back pocket of jeans) problem that the door handles don't extend LOL !!!! Also I remember seeing one of your video's about CHARGING and I"m not sure if you'll know this since you don't have a super-charger at your house but I"m asking anyway as you seem to know "Everything Tesla" . No one can seem to give me a consistent answer to these simple charging questions ? Is it best to charge your Tesla a "Little" (more often, every day?) or is it better to charge "A LOT" (LESS often, but charging more (from like 30-40% to 95%) ? Lastly, I heard you state you had a video on ALL (or most) of the VOICE COMMANDS, can you please direct to me to that video as I"m so new at all this, I can't find it ? Thanks again and I"m LOVIN my "S" Refresh more every day ! (which didnt' think was possible) Gary BTW- Mother of 6? are you kidding me ! you are amazing !!!
I actually have been meaning to make a video about the phone in back pocket not opening the door problem. And I have some solutions for it thatd I’ve share sun comments but not in a video. I think ultimately you are still going to be supercharging the same amount technically whether you do it all at once or in small increments. But I don’t really know. I don’t know EVERYTHING that’s for sure. I never will. 😂 I don’t have very many voice commands. I haven’t made that video yet. But I have a few voice commands in one of my last videos and I’ll give you the link. And in the comments to it lots of other people shared additional voice commands. So In that linked video look for my replies with these emojis ✅👆 and then read the comments that I replied to. They all have additional voice commands people shared. I do know that people told me Kim Java did a video with a lot of voice commands . But I haven’t looked for it yet. And yes, I have 4 stepsons but they are my babies and I raise them. ;) I think I answered everything but not sure. Thanks for your support! I’ll give the link below in separate comment!
Thanks so much for the great reply.. you are right, now that I remember, it was Kim Java's video about the voice commands, thanks for clarifying. Listen, I spoke to a rep at Tesla and "he' said that currently, the EXTEND DOOR HANDLES when approaching are ONLY available with the Key Fob, not with the phone ? Yes. this was confusing to me as well, but maybe if it is true, it will come in an "UPDATE" ? HOpefully, ? Anyway, just wanted to share that tidbit So, I gather this is the best way of communicating with you, so I'm going to keep the conversation and questions coming ! hope you don't mind ? Gary *** PS so are you a family of 6 or a family of 8 w/6 kids ? ***
Sara you really are awesome! This has been bugging my wife and I since we purchased last July. I’m 6’ she is 5’ and the struggle was real! Thanks so much for posting this! I might have to do some more testing but I think it’s even sensitive enough that if you are both by the car and one unlocks by opening a door and the other doesn’t it triggers off that. Not 100% sure but will do some more checking
Oh good!!!!! So I found that when I walk up with both phones in my hand, it leaves the seat and profile in whatever profile was pulled up the last time you excited the car. I’ll have experiment more with that particular circumstance but I’m glad that if it’s in my profile and me and my husband both walk up it does not switch to his profile. It just keeps it in mine. So if you had been driving the car for example and then you wife wants to drive, let he approach the car first a little ahead you by like 15 feet then it should actually change the seat and profile to hers. I hope this makes sense and still helps. Let me know!
Thanks for the information and this will be helpful as my first Tesla will be delivered within the next few weeks and I will be pairing it with three drivers.
Ahhhhh! How exciting! Congratulations and welcome to the TESLA family! Yes, you will DEFINITELY need this then! Make sure you Save this video to your watch later list;) if you have any questions about anything, I’m here! Also, if you have 3 drivers you should get an extra keycard. I think they are like $25 on the Tesla website. But I can’t remember. That way if a phone dies or disconnects they can still use the car. Or there’s another trick where if someone gets locked out, another one of y’all can go into your app and hit start and that will give the person a couple minutes to get in and drive away with no key even if they are in another state away from you.
Good information Sara, i did not know when used your cell phone to adjust for each person. I am only driver, i have to used easy entries to get in. Being short i have harder time to get in if my seat already afjusted.
Yup! It’s pretty cool! Well I just learned last night that you can program the easy entry to whatever you need ! I thought it was only a generic preset! I’m such an idiot! 😂 But I love that we all learn from each other! It makes our community great! ❤️
Hi Sara, i want to do a video on to program your music on USB, there is a nice hidden Feature for USB. This help if did not subscribe to Tesla connectivity.
Hey Francesca!! You mean you want to do a video on it? Or you want me to? I don’t know anything about that. You should do one!!! And I’ll send people to your video!
@@SaraJAwesome i give it a try. My digit camera is not as sharp as my galaxy 10. I have mount for the car glass roof. And i do have a video editor. If the video is poor. You can give a go for USB audio music.
I have exactly the same problem so this was perfect. Although it’s me (the husband) that is always driving! My issue isn’t getting in, since the car pushes the seat right back on exit, but if I press the brake pedal forgetting she was in last I get pinned! Again great video, so glad the algorithm highlighted your channel, you have a great combination - great content, your cheeky mannerisms are appealing to watch and you have the face and voice of an angel. 10 out of 10!
Thank you!!!! Thank you so so much! Yeah, that’s weird about you needing to push the brake to stop it on exit? Are you saying when you put the car in park and unbuckle your seat belt it starts moving the seat forward to a shorter position? Is that because y’all share a profile or because you have easy exit box checked? What is happening? Definitely set up y’all’s own profiles and your own key cards. Set yours to priority. And you can either just not use the easy entry and I check the box by your profile, or you actually configure easy entry so it doesn’t squish you. Let me know.
@@SaraJAwesome Easy Access checked Sara! It zips the seat back when we get out, so next one to get in it’s easy. The seat then sets itself to the profile set on the screen last, when you hit the pedal. This am me and her indoors (the British version of ‘my wife and I’ !) went through the steps you shared and we now have the perfect entry set up. Had my Model 3 for 6 weeks now and it is the best car I have ever owned. I love the tech and I am so glad I found your channel to tell me the stuff I didn’t even think of searching for! Unlike you though I wouldn’t be letting my kids behind the wheel so there is no profile for my three driving daughters - no matter how much I love them! I would do anything for love but I won’t do that ….. as the great Meat Loaf 😢 once said.
Yes!!!!!!!!! Oh my Gosh that makes me so happy I was able to help!!!!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩Thank you so much for replying and letting me know! You made my whole day! Y’all have a great week!!!!!!!
Also on the girls… I feel ya. My oldest sucks so bad I’m going to get his car inspected and registered this week so he can drive that piece of crap again. Too many close calls in my TESLA. I’ll Kill him if he wrecks it. And since I love him and don’t want to kill him I’m gonna make him drive my old car until he gets way better. This is a nightmare trying to teach them how to drive in the city! I grew up in the country and my parents were like just watch for deer and hogs and you’re good.. not here. God help us all! 😂❤️
@@SaraJAwesome I promise I am going to watch and comment on all your videos. You are one TH-camr that truly deserves more of a spotlight. Take care Sara!
Another very informative video. You are a pleasure to listen to. Question: If you need to leave a key card with a valet, what would prevent them from linking their phone to your vehicle and possibly stealing it later that night?
They can’t do that because they have to login to your Tesla account with your user name and password. They can connect their Bluetooth but they can’t control the car, only connect their music and maybe messages by Bluetooth. But they have to have the app and login into your account it be able to lock and unlock the car and drive off. You can also just look at your profiles and your phones that are connected and forget them if they try to create a profile or connect a phone. Also you can put a PIN number to start the car and change it if needed. So you’re covered;) no worries
Haven't read the comments yet just in case the answer to my question is there... but I'm curious if you can rename the paired phone like yours is? How would you do that?
You mean the actual device name? I think that’s what you name your actual phone like when you set it up and you name it Sara’s iPhone. Is that what you mean? But also it’s says on there what kind of phone it is under the name of the phone, and that I don’t think you can change, then next to that | is the name of the driver profile. It’s kind of hard to explain on here with txt. If you want you can reach out to me on Instagram or Twitter @sarajawesome and direct message me so we can exchange pics and videos of what we are talking about. Or you can email me at sarajawesome@yahoo.com if not let me know if you mean where on mine it’s says Sara’s iPhone or if you mean where it says iPhone 13 pro max. I’ll try my best;)
Hi 👋 Sarah just found your channel thanks to a Canadian tweet where you thought he was doing 107mph that was pretty funny and your response was too, thanks to this tweet I watched your videos and they’re great! So I just subscribed. Thanks 😊
Hahaha 🤣 oh gosh, I hoped nobody else saw that reply tweet! 😂 I felt so stupid afterwards. But I’m glad you’re here! Thank you so much for your support, I’m glad you like the videos! Let me know if you have any questions and have a wonderful weekend! 🙏
@@SaraJAwesome no worries it happens to me too all the time! 😄 As a matter of fact I do, my uncle’s Tesla (in Belgium) has a problem with autopilot he doesn’t want to use it anymore (phantom break and constant disabling) Do you have recommandations or already a video on the subject?
Yes, actually I have an autopilot video that I worked really hard on for almost a year. And it is still the only issues I have found with autopilot. Nothing more nothing less, so by watching it and learning how the car is thinking maybe he can be More aware of what types of situations cause ghost braking. Also, ghost braking has gotten much better over time like SIGNIFICANTLY better than when I made the video. And then more you drive it and just keep your foot on the accelerator and push the accelerator when you have ghost braking the car supposedly will learn from that situation and eventually stop reacting that way there. But you should watch the video first and make sure it will be helpful to him and not scare him more. I need to make an updated one. But all the information would be exactly the same, maybe just less dramatic since I’m more used to the car now. Let me know what you think. th-cam.com/video/AbDsI-7dm2Y/w-d-xo.html
Tesla neophytes will really appreciate this guidance, Sara. It's not very intuitive what buttons and menus to work with to enable and edit these connections. Regarding the seat profile adjustments, don't you enable "Easy Access" in your profile? We do, so that the car allows either one of us to easily get in the driver's seat, and then adjusts to our seat settings when we touch the brake.
Thanks, Mark!!!I actually don’t like east entry, it just doesn’t help me. Not to say others don’t love it. But it’s almost the same position as my seat settings 😂 weird. And thank you! Yeah, I’m actually surprised so many people didn’t know about all this. But I just learned too so..
Hello, Wow, that was fascinating! Elon Musk and his Tesla team are always creating some amazing things! I am sure that this video, like your other videos, have been an immense help to many Tesla owners. I am grateful to you for your attention and your time in creating, producing, and editing your exceptional videos!
Such a great job, as always. Your step by step instructions are always so logical and simple to follow (it's almost as if you had been a tech writer putting owner's manuals together). It's not easy to put tutorials together that anticipate what needs to be seen, demonstrate the screens, how to get to them, what to press, and just enough of what can be done wrong to make the user comfortable with not getting it right away. You're a natural. I'm the only one that drives my car, but having driver profiles and recognizable keycards/connected phones is a relationship saver. I've shared cars before and seat position was always a hot button. So, yes, you've (and Tesla) definitely saved relationships. I'm going to check that I've done all the things you suggested (while my partner doesn't drive the Tesla, yet, her phone is connected so the doors unlock if she beats me back to the car or something). Hair didn't look bad at all, in fact like the braid. Hope your weather doesn't get crazy like last year. Be well.
THANK YOU!!!!!!! 😃 I think that reason I explain things well is I typically learn them on camera and then redo them immediately if or when I screw up, then I cut out the part where I screwed up or was learning. It makes editing harder because the raw video is lengthy, BUT it allows me to explain the exact things that were confusing to me. That way I can immediately point out what mistakes other people will probably make or answer questions they have before they even ask them. Does that make sense? I used to leave the mistakes in sometimes but then people get confused and also get bored with longer videos. So now I started only keeping in he specific correct way to do it so that they don’t accidentally remember the wrong way. I appreciate your 2 cents as always!!!! It’s not supposed to be too bad here, so yay! No busted pipes for anyone hopefully! Stay warm and have a great week!
I also learned how to write very detailed instructions because I work at so many places with so many doctors and they all do the same procedures differently so I create instructions for every case and every doctor. 😂 gotta love it
Nice when a life skill you develop pays off other places too. And just because you figured that skill out doesn’t mean it’s obvious to other people so you should be proud of coming up with it and then exploiting it to benefit in other areas. Although I do like how humble you seem to be about yourself.
Sara, if you make your Profile the priority, won't your husband have trouble getting into the driver's seat when he needs to drive the car? I thought that was the reason for setting the profile to the phone keys to avoid this issue. It sounds like it's a fix at the beginning of your video and then you undo the fix at the end by syncing it to your key as a default. If a husband and wife do this, don't you end up back at square one with the taller person getting squeezed out? I'm confused.
I can’t remember exactly unless I rewatch my video, but you’re probably correct. But this is my car, so he only drives it like once a year. He has his own Tesla. So I want this car to always detect my phone over his phone and set my seat for me. Now if was his car then his phone would be the primary phone key so if we got in together with our phones it would detect his phone first. Not mine.
We are retired and have simplified our life with one car, Model Y. Is there a way to keep both of our phones linked to receive calls without having to select each time one of us is out driving alone. It’s annoying to have to keep changing who can receive hands free calls. Or am I missing something?
I’m not sure but try selecting to receive calls and message for both Bluetooth phone connections, and don’t select priority device on any of them. Make sure that the phones are connected to the driver profile and allow all Bluetooth settings on the screen in the car. Whoever is driving should approach the car about 10 feet in front of the other person and open the door first. Let me know if this helps.
@@SaraJAwesome Bluetooth settings only allow me to select one phone at a time unless there is another method to recognize both at the same time I am missing. I’ve unchecked priority device. Both are connected to their own driver profiles. We have only had the car for a month and learn stuff everyday. Yesterday I was convinced the was no Pedestrian Warning System, today I stood in front while my wife drove slowly and low and behold, there is a slow speed sound. This car provides a lot of brain stimulation while we learn all the tips and tricks 🙂
Thanks, Sara. I will keep watching and learning. Someday my Tesla will be delivered, and by then, your videos will have me all up to speed. Delivery has slipped again, now June-July! I reserved in August, so it wil be almost a year waiting for my dream car. My wife says I must be in love with it to wait so long. No, that would be weird, right? My wife thinks I’m crazy to want a car that has so many flaws. Every time there is a recall or some negative FUD about Tesla, I hear about it. So, will user profiles save my marriage? No, but I hope the car arrives flawless and has no service issues for at least a year. And, I’m really glad you love your Tesla so much. It’s not weird, right? Is your husband just as happy with the car as you are?
Haha! You poor thing! It’s okay to be in love with it! I’ve had mine for over a year and I’m still obsessed and know next to nothing about it. I just teach y’all as I learn. Even with all the flaws my car has had, I wouldn’t never pick another car over this one ever! And when I bought mine I had faith in TESLA at all. I was scared and skeptical. But here I am, in love, living the dream. And I kind of love all it’s flaws because nothing is perfect, and I chose to support TESLA and take a chance when it was still not quite up to par yet. And that makes me and my car and it’s flaws feel special and important. And honestly.. I looked at tons of 2020 cars all gas before buying my Tesla and tons of them had flaws too! And they were brand new never driven. So it’s not that other manufacturers don’t have flaws.. it’s that they don’t get obsessed over, noticed, and spread all over the internet.. I will say even though my car had some issues, I haven’t had any for quite a while now. So yay! Just need to get my windshield fixed is all. And as for my husband.. he hates my car. 😂 probably because I raced him 3 times in his Subaru WRX STI and I beat him every time.. with the SLOWEST TESLA! Shifting takes time.. my TESLA doesn’t waste any! But then he went behind my back and reserved a Cybertruck 😂 But he still hates my car. Not sure why, he said he just loves knobs and buttons. And I personally hate them because they’re hard to clean. So I think that’s all. And he likes loud cars . 🤷♀️ It’s okay that she’s not in love. As long as you love it, and it doesn’t ruin your marriage;) 😂 sometimes I just stand at the front door and stare at my car.. I thought I was crazy but apparently other TESLA owners do the same thing. Like a baby in a crib… awwwwwwww 😆 I’m hoping to save enough money to get my windshield fixed, windows tinted and then do a wrap MYSELF! I already have some paint chips that I have to fix so I’m like why not just TRY to wrap it?! It can’t be THAT hard right?! I already know what color I want just not where to buy it.. see I’m rambling. It’s okay, we’re your support group .. and we’re hear to listen to your obsession. 😛
@@SaraJAwesome I'm sure you'll probably do a great job withe the wrap... but me personally? I'll definitely be letting the professionals do that kind of difficult stuff lol I'm too afraid I'll mess it up and get really upset/depressed about it and what if I ruin it? Not taking the chance haha
😂 yeah, but professional it’s like $4,000, if I do it, its like $700. And if I screw up then I screw it up and take it off. I can’t afford professional wrap. And I already have some flaws in my paint from rocks so I’m like well… what’s the worst that could happen? 😂 But I hear you! It’s not for everyone! My husband says I’m an idiot.. and he’s probably right. But I’m gonna try anyway when I can afford it!
OMG, your husband sounds like my wife! Knobs, real keys for the ignition! Of course, he does have a WRX, so points for that! I’ve thought about wrapping the car myself. But…. I don’t know. I don’t even have a Tesla yet. One thing at a time. I love that you are a DIY Tesla owner to inspire others to take the plunge. I don’t get that many paint chips, so I’m undecided about wrapping the Model Y. Maybe just the front and rear wheel skirts. When my model Y arrives, wll I just stare at it? Probably, for a while! So, maybe a little weird.
Do you have any experience pairing a wireless game controller? I wanted to use one and long story short I cant figure out how to get it successfully paired. Maybe the Nintendo controller doesn't pair with Tesla games? What controller do we need for Teslas games? It doesn't mention what is and isn't compatible, does it? Just wondering.
I’m not familiar with a wireless one for Tesla. I have a generic off brand PlayStation controller that plugs into the USB port and it works fine;) so I think it may need to have a chord with usb plug, or maybe a usb stick that connects wirelessly to the controller. If that’s a thing.. idk. Sorry this is all I know. :/
@@SaraJAwesome I last trying with the usb cable and still not working. I may need to go to the Nintendo site and sign up etc but if thats the case, i`ll go with what you have, a plug-and-play thing. ;-)
There are two USB ports I think and it would only let me use one. So try both.. unless I’m nuts. But I think I remember trying both ports and only one worked with the controller
What happens if you leave/forget your phone on the wireless charger and you walk away from the vehicle and do NOT have a key card? Will the doors lock automatically at some point? The vehicle will detect the driver has left car and turn off but will one have the opportunity to run back to the car say 5 minutes later or will the car be automatically locked by then?
Help yelp ..Even though I followed your perfect instructions... on the screen as you show in your video..I can see both my wife's.. Nat.. and my name ..Greg.. against..the relative synced key cards and also phone keys.. and you can toggle them on and off just by hitting the human icon...however when opening the car adjustments to seat etc simply do not occur... even after touching brake pedal. All it does it leaves the seats etc as they were whoever last drove the vehicle.. it's simply not working. Maybe because the car is charging and plugged in ?

Hello Sara! Thank you so much for this very helpful video about keys and phone keys. I have a question related to the front of the Tesla Model 3, it's about the light inside the Frunk. Do you know if it goes off after you close the hood? Do you know how long it takes before it turns off? I put my iPhone in the frunk to take a video to see when the light times out, but even after over 6 minutes, the light still remains on. I appreciate very much any info you may have on this light. I'd like to know so that I can decide if I need to contact Tesla to correct this or not because I don't want the battery to drain due to this light staying on all the time. Thank you!
As always great video. I learned something new lol. Question I see you have the iPhone 13 pro max do you have trouble charging it with the wireless charger?
Yea I do have trouble charging it on the wireless charger, but only when it’s in a case. If I don’t have a case in it charges fine. But I have a double case on mine and I also tried the Apple brand MagSafe (magnet circle back one) and that didn’t work either. It only works with a thin cases, ones with the back that has no magnet in it.
If you sit and don’t touch anything the car will turn off with you in it after a few minutes. I think 15 min but I can’t remember. Maybe less. Yes you can turn vehicle off completely by going to safety and hitting the power off button. But if you open doors or hit the brake it will power the car back on.
I figured watching your video would help me with my problem. My family is kind of like your family - one wife, and one husband and one Tesla model three. Recently, my wife discovered 2, count them 3, TESLA, icons on her iPhone. Of course, they were identical looking go inside and outside. And they both worked. So we deleted one of the Tesla icons only to discover that the other one had also disappeared, which I kind of thought might happen. I reinstalled, but now I can’t get that phone (my wife’s) to be recognized by the car. It will only except her key card, and I don’t know what to do, I followed the steps in your video, and it’s not working 😂
If you are able to, please direct message me on Instagram at sarajawesome so we can message images and video back and forth and I will try to help you as soon as I have time this weekend
Is there a way to turn off the easy entry on one of the profiles? My poor kiddo in the back keeps getting squashed. My husband likes the easy entry. I hate it
1 Click on the profiles (whichever name is up currently doesn’t matter) 2 When all the names pop down into the list form go the bottom and hit driver profile settings 3 Then click on the person (your husband) and hit easy entry to turn it off (grey is off, blue is on) He won’t squish the kiddo anymore.

I ordered the Tesla key fob, because when I'm home, I don't always have my phone on me, but I always have my keys in my pocket. I know there will be times that I want to pull the car out of the garage for whatever, and I know that when that does happen, the phone and my wallet will be laying on a table, in the house. I'm guessing the fob gets paired with the key card pretty much in the same way as the phone does. Also, I have to assume the son you mentioned, is your step-son. There's no way that you are old enough to have a son of your own, who is old enough to drive.
@@SaraJAwesome I guess it's a case of the older you get, the younger the age groups you left long ago appear. Since I'm easily old enough to be your father, you look to be very young.
Im having so many issues with both my model 3 & Y with my family iphones connecting to the car and once I park my car and go inside and go back to my car I can’t connect again… it switches to another driver profile and phone thats inside the house. Idno what to do
That’s weird. I haven’t heard of that issue. I would disconnect all the phone, reboot the car with the power off button, reboot the screen with the two scroll buttons, and then reconnect everything. Then also make sure you do have a primary phone key selected on the screen in the car. I’m not sure if this will help, but it’s worth a try.
Great subject! ...sharing car with spouse.... I was thinking a lot about this.... ...the question that I have... Do I really want to share my Tesla (comes in May 2022) with my wife? Why? Is it OK to give my Kia EV Soul 2016 (also white on white) to my wife instead? The Kia does have cooled seats which the TM3 2022 does not have (!!!). So, when is it OK to say, hey this is my car, I do not even want to share it? Tough question... ...maybe if my girlfriend (maybe future wife) really likes the Tesla, just get one for her and sell the KIA (?).... I would like to hear if others think that sharing your Tesla with your spouse is actually in important spiritual thing in term of generosity (?) and caring for others (?)....
Still having issues , I set profile from the phone app , added my wife user to join the car as well , we both enabled the app as a phone key , in the car screen I do see our both phones as keys , also I connect each profile to each phone key as you shown , but still when entering the car it uses the last profile driven and not the profile that just unlocked the car. Someone ?
I’ve had my Tesla a week and we can’t get the seats to automatically move when either one of us approaches the vehicle. Our keys and phones are assigned to our profile. Will seats only move if you unlock the doors? We have car set to not auto lock at home, so if the other person goes to drive the car parked in our garage, the door is already unlocked. My husband is 6’4” and I’m 5’1” and he literally cannot enter the vehicle if seats are set for me, so this is quite the issue! Our work around is easy entry, but then I’m so far back I can’t reach the brake pedal to get the seats to move to my position, so I have to change profile on the screen.
@@SaraJAwesome I did some playing around because I figured if you could do it, so could I. I ended up removing all of our keys and phones and repairing them with the car and our profiles now it works - whether it's locked our unlocked, so that appears to be irrelevant. My husband didn't have his phone paired to his profile for a couple days before I realized it and changed it for him, so I don't know if it was glitchy because we didn't set it up correctly from the get go.
I don’t personally like or use easy entry. That doesn’t mean it’s not good for other people. It’s just not good for me. But basically if you have it set to that, when you put the car in park (I think) or maybe start to open the door it will move your seat and the steering wheel to a generic optimal position for someone to easily get out of the car. It’s not that helpful for me because it’s actually very similar to my personal seat setting, the only thing that is a big change from my setting is it raises the steering wheel higher I guess so your legs can move out from under the wheel easier. For me it also raises the seat a little in easy entry mode. Some people love it. It’s just not for me personally. I know this isn’t the best explanation but I’m not that educated on it since I don’t use it. 😬
@@SaraJAwesome OK. I thought I would write this comment, but @islandsnow did it first. First of all easy entry position also programmable/adjustable. I made it to sit way back and down and wheel all the way in and up. It is very useful for me as I prefer to drive with sit forward and wheel close to me. It is very inconvenient to get in and out with such configuration. Also, with easy entry enabled it doesn’t matter who drove the car last as it always will be in that easy entry position. BTW all moves in and out easy entry position when driver buckles and unbuckles. You can put car in park to let passengers in and out without moving your chair, which makes sense. Only if you unbuckling, car knows that you want to get out.
I was totally wrong!!!!! You can program what settings you want your easy entry to be!!!!!! I’m an idiot!!!!!! So cool!!!! I just never really used it or played with it!!!!
Can you be a little more specific? Also, did you try powering off the car and powering back on? And deleting all the keys and profiles and redoing them? and also log out of tesla app on your phone and log back in? I’m just stating the obvious, but I’m not exactly sure what you mean. You could definitely reach out to Tesla too through the app and they can probably do some kind of reset or walk you through it.
This can happen if you accidentally turn off your Bluetooth from your phone maybe. I’m not sure it has happened to me too but only a few times. Make sure you never close the Tesla app in your background of your phone, keep Bluetooth on, and if you ever don’t have your keycard and it asks for it.. try going into to your Tesla app and hitting the start button. This will give you 2-3 minutes to get in your car and put it in drive and drive away even without the keycard and it asking for one. Also do a hard reboot like I showed in my video. Go into the car screen and hit power off and leave the car off for 4 minutes and then turn it back on with the brake. Also make sure all your settings in your app allowed for Bluetooth and your Tesla app etc. Let me know if this helps. Sorry for typos I’m landing in a plane right now.. getting off.
Also try logging out of your Tesla app and logging back in. That will reboot the connection between your phone and the car and there’s also an update for the Tesla app so make sure it’s updated
@@SaraJAwesome I’ve tried logging off and on and soft reset and still didn’t work. Maybe I’ll try the hard reboot on the car and if that doesn’t work, I’ll try removing the phone from it and re-install it again. And thanks to your latest video that it will make it easier for me to do so.
Darn, yes try making the car forget the phone completely and then connect it back. Forget it as a phone and Bluetooth. The two separate things that I showed in the video. I’m sorry, I really hope it helps. Keep me posted. Forget both at the same time (well one right after the other) so both connections are gone for a few minutes and then add them back. Probably didn’t matter what order.
@@SaraJAwesome No worries! I still have to try it…after I chipped off the ice built up on my car after yesterday’s snow storm! Nevertheless, your video still helps me A LOT!!
Don't you have to step on the brake before the profile activates? That is what I found. Also, if you check "easy entry" on your profile and set the seat and wheel to a position that allows you to enter/leave the car, that will activate when you unhook your seatbelt. So if one person's seat if close up, the next person can get in as easy entry will move the seat back when the person takes off their seat belt.
I don’t use easy entry, but as soon as I unlock the car with a phone or a keycard it moves the seat to the position of the profile that the specific key is associated with. I don’t need to touch the brake to have it go to the profile. But I’m not sure if easy entry is an issue with that since I don’t use it.
Good post but this isn't entirely accurate. Ppl need to realise that there are three parts to this - keys, profiles and bluetooth devices. Per the guidance in the video - you can specify which profiles relates to a specific key. Important to note that keys have nothing to do with paired bluetooth devices - this is because keys work off NFC and RFID connections. If it's a key card then it's RFID. If it's a phone key, then it's NFC. The "Priority Device" setting on the other hand relates to paired bluetooth connections - this is why it's under bluetooth settings. The Priority Device setting tells your car which specific bluetooth device takes precedence for calls, messages, contacts, and audio, when there are multiple paired bluetooth devices in the car at the same time, and it applies to any and all profiles associated with that car. It isn't telling your car which key is priority. My wife and I both have our own separate profiles and phone keys defined for my M3, and my phone is the priority device. Most of the time it's OK and there are no problems when only one "key holder" uses the car but when we both approach the car together the car will pick the first phone key it detects, based on proximity and strength of the NFC signal, it will then pick the relevant profile associated with that phone key. This means it could still pick my wife's phone key and profile, irrespective of the fact my phone is the "priority device". But it will use my phone instead of my wife's phone for calls, messages, and audio, because it is the "priority device". I hope that helps people get their head around why they still have a problem, with multiple keys, profiles and devices, despite following the instructions.
Great explanation. We are trying to do what you and Sara are doing on brand new 2023 Model Y. Tesla account is in my name. Two iPhones - wife gets in car with her iPhone to drive and it's setup for her with seat adjustments, etc.. I get into car with my iPhone and it's setup for me. Do you and your wife use separate accounts on each of your phones or do you share a single account on both phones to make this all work?
cheers @@dpj118 - we both have separate Tesla accounts. My wife uses the Tesla app on her phone using her account and I use my account with the app on my phone. Because the car is in my name, under the "Manage Drivers" section of the app I have nominated her as a driver. Hope that answers your question!
Yes, answered. Thanks. Your and Sara’s technique for which accounts to initially use differ I think but both seem to work. Any advantage to spouse using your account or their separate account?
In order for your spouse to have her own profile on your vehicle, she will need to be added as another driver, and she will need her own account. This is per the info from Tesla's website on the "How to Add or Remove Drivers" topic.

Thank you!!!!
The missing piece for me was clicking on the icon with the profile of my wife selected. She would unlock the door and it would go to my profile and then she would select her profile. That was really bad because it's her car.
I swear I read the manual multiple times. But your video made it crystal clear.
Great tutorial. Another one to add to my favorites so that when I take delivery I don't hav to go searching for these tips and tricks.
Thank you!!!!!! I’m here if you have questions when the time comes! Comment in any video and I can direct you or answer your questions whether it’s related to the video or not! Happy to help!
Thank you , this is an issue with my family also. We just got a new X (Wow!!!) but key card, key fob,key phone ????
I will need to play your video a couple of times until I get it. You are Awesome.! A big help!
Ahhhh! Congratulations! 🍾🎈🎉🎊 🤩🥳I’m so jealous of your model X!!! Welcome to the family!!! Yes, just play the video on your spouses phone while you set up on one phone, then play it again on the other phone while you set up next one. 😉
First I like to say thank you. I thought I know a lot about my car, and your topic sounds too basic, but after watching it, I realized “you learn something new everyday,” which I did from your clear narration. Thank you, you’re AWESOME!
Well, THANK YOU!!!!! That’s exactly how I feel when I’m making them! I’m like, is this stupid? Does everyone know this already? But then I remember there was a point where I didn’t know it either, so if I can help just one person.. then it’s worth my effort. Maybe I should work on my titles? To let people know it’s not as basic as they think? Idk. Also, every time I teach y’all something, y’all teach me right back in the comments! That’s why I love this community so much!!!!!!!! And my car too! Every time we think we know it all, or get bored.. bam! Here’s something new and amazing! Right?! Thank you so much for this comment, it is a huge compliment. 💚 YOU are awesome 🤩
Thanks for the tip Sara. I have been trying to figure out the seat adjustment part ever since we bought out model Y. You definitely saved our marriage.
Great vid! I watched like 3 times, still isn’t able to detect my wife’s profile when approach. On the bright side, my marriage is intact….😂
Oh my God 😂 Well, that’s good your marriage is intact! But there’s definitely something not working right with it not detecting her phone and changing the profile. It should work. What are your settings for her?
Are you on Instagram or Twitter? If so send me a message at sarajawesome and I can try to help you soon.
@@SaraJAwesome just some default settings, nothing other than mirrors and steering wheel preferences. One more thing, I do see the profile show her phone next to it. That should considered correct setup right?
Yes, it just because the phone is next to her doesn’t mean you have her set as the primary driver where it will set things up for her when her phone is detected. I’ll try to look and see what the main setting for that is when I go out to my car today. I can’t remember.
@@SaraJAwesome don’t worry about it, I think I will try to detach her and re enrolled her and see if that makes any difference. She isn’t a preferred driver profile. But, Tesla should still recognize that setting. A software car will have glitches…look at Microsoft, still patches and updates. Thank you so much for answering back thou! Really appreciate your content and deliverance.
We just got our Model 3 a few weeks ago and I was expecting the profile to automatically associate itself with the phone keys. Now I know there's an extra little button press to make this happen. Thanks so much!
You are so welcome!!!! So happy I could help! And welcome to the TESLA family!!!!!!
Thank you for this tutorial. I’m a recent Tesla owner and I have to say I have been frustrated with some of the technology and getting everything set up properly. After watching your tutorial I think I have the profiles of me and my wife set up correctly. Finally! Thanks for all you do. Your videos are appreciated
First off, congratulations! Welcome to the family! Second, yay!!! Yes, if you follow these steps exactly you’ll be good;)
Jeez, I've had my car over a year and did not know this, but the wife has only driven it like twice. We're doing a roadtrip this month so it'll come in handy. Thank you Sara
Yay!!!!!! So happy I taught you something else new!!! It makes me so excited when I teach someone something they don’t know, ESPECIALLY if they’ve already had the car a while! You make my effort and hard work worth it! Thank you!!!!!!!!! Yes, so this before the road trip! Where y’all goin?!
Use easy entry on your profile and your seat slides all the way back when you unblock your seatbelt! Brilliant
Thank you Sara. I have picked up yesterday my car and I did not had at all clear these kind of configurations. Your explanation and guidance were very useful to me. Great Video!. Regards.
So happy to help! Congratulations and welcome to the family! ❤️🍾🎊🎉🥳
Very useful! I’m still waiting for my car but learning lots in the meantime
It will be worth the wait! Yup, start learning now! Let me know if you have any questions;) Happy to help!
Sara, thank you for taking the time to explain this crucial piece! I have just followed your directions (almost) to set up my wife's iPhone. Very educational and practical advice! The "almost" part is due to the Tesla app sending a text message invite (if one chooses a text message delivery method within the Tesla app of the primary driver). Once my wife has clicked on the invitation link in her Text Messages, and installed the Tesla app she was prompted to create a username and set up a password. Having successfully logged into the Tesla app using the newly created username the iPhone was fully functional and was able to open the Tesla seemingly without needing the keycard. With this out of the way I followed your instructions :)
Oh yay!!!! So happy to help! Have a great week!!!!
Thanks for the video. You explained all of the options very clearly. Now I can double check if my keys are properly set up with the profiles. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Jeffrey!!!!! Yeah, go check! Have a great week! Happy to see your comment as always!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Somehow my car got our settings and phones mixed up, but you helped me put it all back right!
Fantastic!!! That makes me so happy!!!!
Thanks! This was the best tutorial by far.
Thank you! Happy to help!
Thank you. I wished the Tesla manual explained it this well.
Excellent, excellent, excellent Sara.. stay blessed
Thank you!!!!!! You and your family stay blessed as well!
So this is where I did wrong! I was setting up 2 seperate tesla accounts on both mine and my wife’s phone and we just simply could not get it set up. Thanks Sara for pointing out the trick on setting up both phones with the same account!
Thank you....need this to keep our marriage going!
Haha! 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Sara J. I was having a problem with trying to link my husband's phone since I primarily drive my Model 3. Great step by step tutorial.
Glad I could help!!!
sounds like a tall spouse problem to me. it fits you fine!
Hahaha I almost had put that instead actually! 😂
@@SaraJAwesome happy wife happy life. i dont know a rhyme for hubby
Thanks Sara. It has been driving my husband crazy that the seat profile stayed in mine when he used his key card to open the car. I watched another video, and it wasn't nearly as clear as yours. Now I have his key card synced with his driver profile and it is perfect. Will do the same for his phone key in the morning. Thanks a million!
Fab video Sara. Thank you for helping us across the world. Big day today here in the UK. First Model Y’s were delivered. Mine arriving (from Shanghai) in March. Best Simon
Oh wow!!!!!!!!! I didn’t know that! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I’m so excited for you! Congratulations and welcome to the TESLA family! Keep me posted on delivery!
Thank you, that’s so much easier than BMWs!
Thank you for this. Haven't been able to do this until now:). Passed it along to our group @tesla model 3/Y owners of Michigan.
Nice!!!!!! Happy to help!! Thank you for your support and sharing this! ❤️🙏
Thank you Sara, I love watching your videos and thought I knew enough about the key cards and profiles, but I thought I would watch anyway. You showed me somethings I didn’t know on how to associate an existing profile with a phone. Thank you.
Oh! That makes me so happy!!!! If at least one person learns something new, I call that a win! Thank you for taking the time to watch it and tell me it was helpful to you. Have a great weekend!
Thanks I knew a car with this much tech would have this option. I just didnt know how to do it
Great job again! You do such a good job showing step by step so that there’s no confusion! One other point to make is that if each spouse has their own tesla account (due to having more than 1 Tesla or whatever) they can still add your car under their account. Have a great day!
Ohhhhh! Nice!!!!!! I didn’t know that! And thank you;) I appreciate that!
Correct! You can invite another person’s Tesla account to be a driver under Security, Manage Drivers, Add Driver. This is how I invited my wife to have access to my car.
That’s so cool!!!!!!! I didn’t know that!!!!!
✅✅✅✅✅👆👆👆👆EVERYONE READ!!!!
Barry- is there any advantage to creating 2 Tesla accounts for a single Tesla family or would you recommend just using the same Tesla Account login on both phones? It sounds like either get the job done, but I can see a day where we may have two Tesla's... any pros/cons to consider? Thanks for the great video and comments! Edit: Our Tesla should come next month so I am getting ready to nail the setup process ;)
Thanks I didn't know about the profile human icon.
Yup ! Thank you for watching!
good video great description of how to set up profiles
Thank you, Kenny!!!!!
Super Helpful!! Exactly what I needed😎👍🏻 Thank you!!
Thank you so much. Just got my Model S yesterday and could not figure this out.
Just picked up my Model Y this week and your video was exactly what I was looking for. Learned something I didn't know I needed to know as well (me and my wife both walking towards the car and having priority device setting). Thank you for putting this video together! Look forward to watching other videos on your channel.
It's just what I needed. Thank you for the detailed explanation. 😉
Wow. Thank you so much for making this video. It's very informative and will help us alot.
Oh good!!!!! I’m so happy it’s helping everyone!!!! Thank you for telling me it’s actually helpful!
Nice job Sara, thanks for doing this video. You say the things you do are easy, but everything is easy once you know how to do it! I am going to spend some time in the Model Y and get mine and my wife's phones sorted out as you did! Cheers!
Awww thank you!!!!! Yes, that is true! Let me know if you have any questions, happy to help. Y’all have a great weekend! Cheers!!!!
You're up early this morning! Thanks for another great video. Very nice that you can tweak all those settings for multiple devices.
Rise and shine! ;) Thank you!!! Yeah it’s super nice!
@@SaraJAwesome ps - So, when you gonna visit Giga Austin! It would be neat for you to meet up with other Tesla youtubers when the Eco Paradise is ready!
I’m going to the big Giga party!!!!!!! I’ll be there! I just don’t know when it is yet!
@@SaraJAwesome Excellente!
Hey Sara J, Still luvin your video's and thanks for doing the 'associated' fob/keycard one that I was lucky enough that my rep DID explain that to me when I picked up my car. I was a little suprised you didn't mention our "BUTT" (back pocket of jeans) problem that the door handles don't extend LOL !!!!
Also I remember seeing one of your video's about CHARGING and I"m not sure if you'll know this since you don't have a super-charger at your house but I"m asking anyway as you seem to know "Everything Tesla" . No one can seem to give me a consistent answer to these simple charging questions ?
Is it best to charge your Tesla a "Little" (more often, every day?) or is it better to charge "A LOT" (LESS often, but charging more (from like 30-40% to 95%) ?
Lastly, I heard you state you had a video on ALL (or most) of the VOICE COMMANDS, can you please direct to me to that video as I"m so new at all this, I can't find it ?
Thanks again and I"m LOVIN my "S" Refresh more every day ! (which didnt' think was possible)
Gary
BTW- Mother of 6? are you kidding me ! you are amazing !!!
I actually have been meaning to make a video about the phone in back pocket not opening the door problem. And I have some solutions for it thatd I’ve share sun comments but not in a video. I think ultimately you are still going to be supercharging the same amount technically whether you do it all at once or in small increments. But I don’t really know. I don’t know EVERYTHING that’s for sure. I never will. 😂 I don’t have very many voice commands. I haven’t made that video yet. But I have a few voice commands in one of my last videos and I’ll give you the link. And in the comments to it lots of other people shared additional voice commands. So In that linked video look for my replies with these emojis ✅👆 and then read the comments that I replied to. They all have additional voice commands people shared. I do know that people told me Kim Java did a video with a lot of voice commands . But I haven’t looked for it yet. And yes, I have 4 stepsons but they are my babies and I raise them. ;) I think I answered everything but not sure. Thanks for your support! I’ll give the link below in separate comment!
th-cam.com/video/NVVMR2nooE8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much for the great reply.. you are right, now that I remember, it was Kim Java's video about the voice commands, thanks for clarifying. Listen, I spoke to a rep at Tesla and "he' said that currently, the EXTEND DOOR HANDLES when approaching are ONLY available with the Key Fob, not with the phone ? Yes. this was confusing to me as well, but maybe if it is true, it will come in an "UPDATE" ? HOpefully, ? Anyway, just wanted to share that tidbit
So, I gather this is the best way of communicating with you, so I'm going to keep the conversation and questions coming ! hope you don't mind ? Gary
*** PS so are you a family of 6 or a family of 8 w/6 kids ? ***
WOW!! TECH IS CRAZY!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOU GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!! so sorry for the cap lock!
Never be sorry for caps!!! Unless you’re mad 😡 😂 Thank you so much!!!!!!
Perfect tutorial. Thanks!!
Sara you really are awesome! This has been bugging my wife and I since we purchased last July. I’m 6’ she is 5’ and the struggle was real! Thanks so much for posting this! I might have to do some more testing but I think it’s even sensitive enough that if you are both by the car and one unlocks by opening a door and the other doesn’t it triggers off that. Not 100% sure but will do some more checking
Oh good!!!!! So I found that when I walk up with both phones in my hand, it leaves the seat and profile in whatever profile was pulled up the last time you excited the car. I’ll have experiment more with that particular circumstance but I’m glad that if it’s in my profile and me and my husband both walk up it does not switch to his profile. It just keeps it in mine. So if you had been driving the car for example and then you wife wants to drive, let he approach the car first a little ahead you by like 15 feet then it should actually change the seat and profile to hers. I hope this makes sense and still helps. Let me know!
Thank you for the tutorial video. Very helpful 👌
Oh good!!!!!!! Thank you!
Great video. You saved my life and possibly marriage. I won't have to swear at the car for trying to shove me through the windshield any more.
Bahahahaha!!!! You’re welcome! 😂 and thank you for letting me know it was helpful!!!!!

Lovely video Sara great content as always 😎🇮🇪
Thanks, Mary!!!!!!!
Great video Sara!
Thanks!!!!
Thanks for the information and this will be helpful as my first Tesla will be delivered within the next few weeks and I will be pairing it with three drivers.
Ahhhhh! How exciting! Congratulations and welcome to the TESLA family! Yes, you will DEFINITELY need this then! Make sure you Save this video to your watch later list;) if you have any questions about anything, I’m here! Also, if you have 3 drivers you should get an extra keycard. I think they are like $25 on the Tesla website. But I can’t remember. That way if a phone dies or disconnects they can still use the car. Or there’s another trick where if someone gets locked out, another one of y’all can go into your app and hit start and that will give the person a couple minutes to get in and drive away with no key even if they are in another state away from you.
@@SaraJAwesome Good point and suggestion. I'll grab an additional key card. Thanks again!
No problem! Just be sure you can actually use 3 keycards at one time before you waste your money. But I’m pretty sure you can. Just not 100%. ;)
Good information Sara, i did not know when used your cell phone to adjust for each person. I am only driver, i have to used easy entries to get in. Being short i have harder time to get in if my seat already afjusted.
Yup! It’s pretty cool! Well I just learned last night that you can program the easy entry to whatever you need ! I thought it was only a generic preset! I’m such an idiot! 😂 But I love that we all learn from each other! It makes our community great! ❤️
Hi Sara, i want to do a video on to program your music on USB, there is a nice hidden Feature for USB. This help if did not subscribe to Tesla connectivity.
Hey Francesca!! You mean you want to do a video on it? Or you want me to? I don’t know anything about that. You should do one!!! And I’ll send people to your video!
@@SaraJAwesome i give it a try. My digit camera is not as sharp as my galaxy 10. I have mount for the car glass roof. And i do have a video editor. If the video is poor. You can give a go for USB audio music.
I just film with my iPhone;) your phone might be better than your camera! Yeah! Go for it!!
The square steering wheel for tesla is perfect 👌😁 i know where can you get it in a great price 🤩
Very helpful, thank you
Thank YOU, for the feedback and support!
I have exactly the same problem so this was perfect. Although it’s me (the husband) that is always driving! My issue isn’t getting in, since the car pushes the seat right back on exit, but if I press the brake pedal forgetting she was in last I get pinned! Again great video, so glad the algorithm highlighted your channel, you have a great combination - great content, your cheeky mannerisms are appealing to watch and you have the face and voice of an angel. 10 out of 10!
Thank you!!!! Thank you so so much! Yeah, that’s weird about you needing to push the brake to stop it on exit? Are you saying when you put the car in park and unbuckle your seat belt it starts moving the seat forward to a shorter position? Is that because y’all share a profile or because you have easy exit box checked? What is happening? Definitely set up y’all’s own profiles and your own key cards. Set yours to priority. And you can either just not use the easy entry and I check the box by your profile, or you actually configure easy entry so it doesn’t squish you. Let me know.
@@SaraJAwesome
Easy Access checked Sara! It zips the seat back when we get out, so next one to get in it’s easy. The seat then sets itself to the profile set on the screen last, when you hit the pedal. This am me and her indoors (the British version of ‘my wife and I’ !) went through the steps you shared and we now have the perfect entry set up. Had my Model 3 for 6 weeks now and it is the best car I have ever owned. I love the tech and I am so glad I found your channel to tell me the stuff I didn’t even think of searching for! Unlike you though I wouldn’t be letting my kids behind the wheel so there is no profile for my three driving daughters - no matter how much I love them! I would do anything for love but I won’t do that ….. as the great Meat Loaf 😢 once said.
Yes!!!!!!!!! Oh my Gosh that makes me so happy I was able to help!!!!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩Thank you so much for replying and letting me know! You made my whole day! Y’all have a great week!!!!!!!
Also on the girls… I feel ya. My oldest sucks so bad I’m going to get his car inspected and registered this week so he can drive that piece of crap again. Too many close calls in my TESLA. I’ll Kill him if he wrecks it. And since I love him and don’t want to kill him I’m gonna make him drive my old car until he gets way better. This is a nightmare trying to teach them how to drive in the city! I grew up in the country and my parents were like just watch for deer and hogs and you’re good.. not here. God help us all! 😂❤️
@@SaraJAwesome I promise I am going to watch and comment on all your videos. You are one TH-camr that truly deserves more of a spotlight. Take care Sara!
Another very informative video. You are a pleasure to listen to. Question: If you need to leave a key card with a valet, what would prevent them from linking their phone to your vehicle and possibly stealing it later that night?
They can’t do that because they have to login to your Tesla account with your user name and password. They can connect their Bluetooth but they can’t control the car, only connect their music and maybe messages by Bluetooth. But they have to have the app and login into your account it be able to lock and unlock the car and drive off. You can also just look at your profiles and your phones that are connected and forget them if they try to create a profile or connect a phone. Also you can put a PIN number to start the car and change it if needed. So you’re covered;) no worries
Haven't read the comments yet just in case the answer to my question is there... but I'm curious if you can rename the paired phone like yours is? How would you do that?
You mean the actual device name? I think that’s what you name your actual phone like when you set it up and you name it Sara’s iPhone. Is that what you mean? But also it’s says on there what kind of phone it is under the name of the phone, and that I don’t think you can change, then next to that | is the name of the driver profile. It’s kind of hard to explain on here with txt. If you want you can reach out to me on Instagram or Twitter @sarajawesome and direct message me so we can exchange pics and videos of what we are talking about. Or you can email me at sarajawesome@yahoo.com if not let me know if you mean where on mine it’s says Sara’s iPhone or if you mean where it says iPhone 13 pro max. I’ll try my best;)
Soooo helpful! Thank you ❤
Hi 👋 Sarah just found your channel thanks to a Canadian tweet where you thought he was doing 107mph that was pretty funny and your response was too, thanks to this tweet I watched your videos and they’re great! So I just subscribed. Thanks 😊
Hahaha 🤣 oh gosh, I hoped nobody else saw that reply tweet! 😂 I felt so stupid afterwards. But I’m glad you’re here! Thank you so much for your support, I’m glad you like the videos! Let me know if you have any questions and have a wonderful weekend! 🙏
@@SaraJAwesome no worries it happens to me too all the time! 😄 As a matter of fact I do, my uncle’s Tesla (in Belgium) has a problem with autopilot he doesn’t want to use it anymore (phantom break and constant disabling) Do you have recommandations or already a video on the subject?
Yes, actually I have an autopilot video that I worked really hard on for almost a year. And it is still the only issues I have found with autopilot. Nothing more nothing less, so by watching it and learning how the car is thinking maybe he can be More aware of what types of situations cause ghost braking. Also, ghost braking has gotten much better over time like SIGNIFICANTLY better than when I made the video. And then more you drive it and just keep your foot on the accelerator and push the accelerator when you have ghost braking the car supposedly will learn from that situation and eventually stop reacting that way there. But you should watch the video first and make sure it will be helpful to him and not scare him more. I need to make an updated one. But all the information would be exactly the same, maybe just less dramatic since I’m more used to the car now. Let me know what you think. th-cam.com/video/AbDsI-7dm2Y/w-d-xo.html
Awesome again Ms. Awesome.
Thank you, Barry!!!!!!!!
Tesla neophytes will really appreciate this guidance, Sara. It's not very intuitive what buttons and menus to work with to enable and edit these connections. Regarding the seat profile adjustments, don't you enable "Easy Access" in your profile? We do, so that the car allows either one of us to easily get in the driver's seat, and then adjusts to our seat settings when we touch the brake.
Thanks, Mark!!!I actually don’t like east entry, it just doesn’t help me. Not to say others don’t love it. But it’s almost the same position as my seat settings 😂 weird. And thank you! Yeah, I’m actually surprised so many people didn’t know about all this. But I just learned too so..
Do you need a different tesla account for both phones?
No, supposedly you can link them together, but I haven’t taken the time to look up how to do it yet.
Hello, Wow, that was fascinating! Elon Musk and his Tesla team are always creating some amazing things! I am sure that this video, like your other videos, have been an immense help to many Tesla owners. I am grateful to you for your attention and your time in creating, producing, and editing your exceptional videos!
Right?! Thank you, T!!!!!!
@@SaraJAwesome Hello, I'm grateful for you being so thoughtful and responding to my comment!
Of course! It’s my pleasure!
Such a great job, as always. Your step by step instructions are always so logical and simple to follow (it's almost as if you had been a tech writer putting owner's manuals together). It's not easy to put tutorials together that anticipate what needs to be seen, demonstrate the screens, how to get to them, what to press, and just enough of what can be done wrong to make the user comfortable with not getting it right away. You're a natural.
I'm the only one that drives my car, but having driver profiles and recognizable keycards/connected phones is a relationship saver. I've shared cars before and seat position was always a hot button. So, yes, you've (and Tesla) definitely saved relationships. I'm going to check that I've done all the things you suggested (while my partner doesn't drive the Tesla, yet, her phone is connected so the doors unlock if she beats me back to the car or something).
Hair didn't look bad at all, in fact like the braid. Hope your weather doesn't get crazy like last year. Be well.
THANK YOU!!!!!!! 😃 I think that reason I explain things well is I typically learn them on camera and then redo them immediately if or when I screw up, then I cut out the part where I screwed up or was learning. It makes editing harder because the raw video is lengthy, BUT it allows me to explain the exact things that were confusing to me. That way I can immediately point out what mistakes other people will probably make or answer questions they have before they even ask them. Does that make sense? I used to leave the mistakes in sometimes but then people get confused and also get bored with longer videos. So now I started only keeping in he specific correct way to do it so that they don’t accidentally remember the wrong way. I appreciate your 2 cents as always!!!! It’s not supposed to be too bad here, so yay! No busted pipes for anyone hopefully! Stay warm and have a great week!
I also learned how to write very detailed instructions because I work at so many places with so many doctors and they all do the same procedures differently so I create instructions for every case and every doctor. 😂 gotta love it
Nice when a life skill you develop pays off other places too. And just because you figured that skill out doesn’t mean it’s obvious to other people so you should be proud of coming up with it and then exploiting it to benefit in other areas. Although I do like how humble you seem to be about yourself.
Very true! And I can’t not be humble.. I screw up daily. 😂 I’m only human 🌎💚
Good thing for your husband and family. Can you imagine the hell of living around a perfect person? Imperfect is far more entertaining!
“Kinda annoying” said x100 times 😂
Sara, if you make your Profile the priority, won't your husband have trouble getting into the driver's seat when he needs to drive the car? I thought that was the reason for setting the profile to the phone keys to avoid this issue. It sounds like it's a fix at the beginning of your video and then you undo the fix at the end by syncing it to your key as a default. If a husband and wife do this, don't you end up back at square one with the taller person getting squeezed out? I'm confused.
I can’t remember exactly unless I rewatch my video, but you’re probably correct. But this is my car, so he only drives it like once a year. He has his own Tesla. So I want this car to always detect my phone over his phone and set my seat for me. Now if was his car then his phone would be the primary phone key so if we got in together with our phones it would detect his phone first. Not mine.
We are retired and have simplified our life with one car, Model Y. Is there a way to keep both of our phones linked to receive calls without having to select each time one of us is out driving alone. It’s annoying to have to keep changing who can receive hands free calls. Or am I missing something?
I’m not sure but try selecting to receive calls and message for both Bluetooth phone connections, and don’t select priority device on any of them. Make sure that the phones are connected to the driver profile and allow all Bluetooth settings on the screen in the car. Whoever is driving should approach the car about 10 feet in front of the other person and open the door first. Let me know if this helps.
@@SaraJAwesome Bluetooth settings only allow me to select one phone at a time unless there is another method to recognize both at the same time I am missing. I’ve unchecked priority device. Both are connected to their own driver profiles.
We have only had the car for a month and learn stuff everyday. Yesterday I was convinced the was no Pedestrian Warning System, today I stood in front while my wife drove slowly and low and behold, there is a slow speed sound. This car provides a lot of brain stimulation while we learn all the tips and tricks 🙂
Hmmm darn. Well, I’m sorry. I had hoped that would work for you. Thanks for getting back, and I agree! I love learning new stuff!
Thanks, Sara. I will keep watching and learning. Someday my Tesla will be delivered, and by then, your videos will have me all up to speed. Delivery has slipped again, now June-July! I reserved in August, so it wil be almost a year waiting for my dream car. My wife says I must be in love with it to wait so long. No, that would be weird, right? My wife thinks I’m crazy to want a car that has so many flaws. Every time there is a recall or some negative FUD about Tesla, I hear about it. So, will user profiles save my marriage? No, but I hope the car arrives flawless and has no service issues for at least a year. And, I’m really glad you love your Tesla so much. It’s not weird, right? Is your husband just as happy with the car as you are?
Haha! You poor thing! It’s okay to be in love with it! I’ve had mine for over a year and I’m still obsessed and know next to nothing about it. I just teach y’all as I learn. Even with all the flaws my car has had, I wouldn’t never pick another car over this one ever! And when I bought mine I had faith in TESLA at all. I was scared and skeptical. But here I am, in love, living the dream. And I kind of love all it’s flaws because nothing is perfect, and I chose to support TESLA and take a chance when it was still not quite up to par yet. And that makes me and my car and it’s flaws feel special and important. And honestly.. I looked at tons of 2020 cars all gas before buying my Tesla and tons of them had flaws too! And they were brand new never driven. So it’s not that other manufacturers don’t have flaws.. it’s that they don’t get obsessed over, noticed, and spread all over the internet.. I will say even though my car had some issues, I haven’t had any for quite a while now. So yay! Just need to get my windshield fixed is all. And as for my husband.. he hates my car. 😂 probably because I raced him 3 times in his Subaru WRX STI and I beat him every time.. with the SLOWEST TESLA! Shifting takes time.. my TESLA doesn’t waste any! But then he went behind my back and reserved a Cybertruck 😂 But he still hates my car. Not sure why, he said he just loves knobs and buttons. And I personally hate them because they’re hard to clean. So I think that’s all. And he likes loud cars . 🤷♀️ It’s okay that she’s not in love. As long as you love it, and it doesn’t ruin your marriage;) 😂 sometimes I just stand at the front door and stare at my car.. I thought I was crazy but apparently other TESLA owners do the same thing. Like a baby in a crib… awwwwwwww 😆 I’m hoping to save enough money to get my windshield fixed, windows tinted and then do a wrap MYSELF! I already have some paint chips that I have to fix so I’m like why not just TRY to wrap it?! It can’t be THAT hard right?! I already know what color I want just not where to buy it.. see I’m rambling. It’s okay, we’re your support group .. and we’re hear to listen to your obsession. 😛
Sorry for typos
@@SaraJAwesome I'm sure you'll probably do a great job withe the wrap... but me personally? I'll definitely be letting the professionals do that kind of difficult stuff lol I'm too afraid I'll mess it up and get really upset/depressed about it and what if I ruin it? Not taking the chance haha
😂 yeah, but professional it’s like $4,000, if I do it, its like $700. And if I screw up then I screw it up and take it off. I can’t afford professional wrap. And I already have some flaws in my paint from rocks so I’m like well… what’s the worst that could happen? 😂 But I hear you! It’s not for everyone! My husband says I’m an idiot.. and he’s probably right. But I’m gonna try anyway when I can afford it!
OMG, your husband sounds like my wife! Knobs, real keys for the ignition! Of course, he does have a WRX, so points for that! I’ve thought about wrapping the car myself. But…. I don’t know. I don’t even have a Tesla yet. One thing at a time. I love that you are a DIY Tesla owner to inspire others to take the plunge. I don’t get that many paint chips, so I’m undecided about wrapping the Model Y. Maybe just the front and rear wheel skirts. When my model Y arrives, wll I just stare at it? Probably, for a while! So, maybe a little weird.
Can you enable drive with just your phone once this is done?
Yes
I recommend still carrying a key card in your wallet though. You never know, if your phone dies, or gets stolen, or broken..etc.
Love your videos
Thank you, Dillon!!!!!
Do you have any experience pairing a wireless game controller? I wanted to use one and long story short I cant figure out how to get it successfully paired. Maybe the Nintendo controller doesn't pair with Tesla games? What controller do we need for Teslas games? It doesn't mention what is and isn't compatible, does it? Just wondering.
I’m not familiar with a wireless one for Tesla. I have a generic off brand PlayStation controller that plugs into the USB port and it works fine;) so I think it may need to have a chord with usb plug, or maybe a usb stick that connects wirelessly to the controller. If that’s a thing.. idk. Sorry this is all I know. :/
@@SaraJAwesome Thnx. I`ll try a Playstation type controller then if I cant make the one I got work. Cheers!
Can’t you buy an adapter cable for it? That has a usb end on it? Maybe?
@@SaraJAwesome I last trying with the usb cable and still not working. I may need to go to the Nintendo site and sign up etc but if thats the case, i`ll go with what you have, a plug-and-play thing. ;-)
There are two USB ports I think and it would only let me use one. So try both.. unless I’m nuts. But I think I remember trying both ports and only one worked with the controller
What happens if you leave/forget your phone on the wireless charger and you walk away from the vehicle and do NOT have a key card?
Will the doors lock automatically at some point? The vehicle will detect the driver has left car and turn off but will one have the opportunity to run back to the car say 5 minutes later or will the car be automatically locked by then?
It will stay unlocked, I’ve done that before. But it wasn’t for very long. I need to do a long test for an hour and see if it locks eventually
I think when I left my phone it was like 20 min and it didn’t lock . But I’ll do a test soon;)
Thank you for responding. Your channel is awesome❗
Sara....are you and your husband both logged into the same account? Or does he have his own, separate account that you allow access to?
We are both signed in with MY account. That is my email and my password on both phones. He does not have his own account.
Help yelp ..Even though I followed your perfect instructions... on the screen as you show in your video..I can see both my wife's.. Nat.. and my name ..Greg.. against..the relative synced key cards and also phone keys.. and you can toggle them on and off just by hitting the human icon...however when opening the car adjustments to seat etc simply do not occur... even after touching brake pedal. All it does it leaves the seats etc as they were whoever last drove the vehicle.. it's simply not working. Maybe because the car is charging and plugged in ?

Hello Sara! Thank you so much for this very helpful video about keys and phone keys. I have a question related to the front of the Tesla Model 3, it's about the light inside the Frunk. Do you know if it goes off after you close the hood? Do you know how long it takes before it turns off? I put my iPhone in the frunk to take a video to see when the light times out, but even after over 6 minutes, the light still remains on. I appreciate very much any info you may have on this light. I'd like to know so that I can decide if I need to contact Tesla to correct this or not because I don't want the battery to drain due to this light staying on all the time. Thank you!
That is so weird! I’ll do an experiment soon and get back to you!
@@SaraJAwesome Thank you, Sara! Looking forward to seeing a video of your experiment. Thanks!
Thank you very much!
As always great video. I learned something new lol. Question I see you have the iPhone 13 pro max do you have trouble charging it with the wireless charger?
Yea I do have trouble charging it on the wireless charger, but only when it’s in a case. If I don’t have a case in it charges fine. But I have a double case on mine and I also tried the Apple brand MagSafe (magnet circle back one) and that didn’t work either. It only works with a thin cases, ones with the back that has no magnet in it.
Thank you
No, Thank YOU!!!!
While sitting in my Tesla is there a way to turn off apps. Also turn vehicle off.
If you sit and don’t touch anything the car will turn off with you in it after a few minutes. I think 15 min but I can’t remember. Maybe less. Yes you can turn vehicle off completely by going to safety and hitting the power off button. But if you open doors or hit the brake it will power the car back on.
I figured watching your video would help me with my problem. My family is kind of like your family - one wife, and one husband and one Tesla model three. Recently, my wife discovered 2, count them 3, TESLA, icons on her iPhone. Of course, they were identical looking go inside and outside. And they both worked. So we deleted one of the Tesla icons only to discover that the other one had also disappeared, which I kind of thought might happen. I reinstalled, but now I can’t get that phone (my wife’s) to be recognized by the car. It will only except her key card, and I don’t know what to do, I followed the steps in your video, and it’s not working 😂
If you are able to, please direct message me on Instagram at sarajawesome so we can message images and video back and forth and I will try to help you as soon as I have time this weekend
Just put a name label on your keycard to make them easy to identify
Very smart;)
Don't forget the "easy out" check box.
Yup, I actually don’t use that BUT good tip!!!
Is there a way to turn off the easy entry on one of the profiles? My poor kiddo in the back keeps getting squashed. My husband likes the easy entry. I hate it
1 Click on the profiles (whichever name is up currently doesn’t matter)
2 When all the names pop down into the list form go the bottom and hit driver profile settings
3 Then click on the person (your husband) and hit easy entry to turn it off (grey is off, blue is on)
He won’t squish the kiddo anymore.

Thanks!
It is my Tesla model three like a smart phone. Only in the way that I can turn to save battery life
I ordered the Tesla key fob, because when I'm home, I don't always have my phone on me, but I always have my keys in my pocket. I know there will be times that I want to pull the car out of the garage for whatever, and I know that when that does happen, the phone and my wallet will be laying on a table, in the house. I'm guessing the fob gets paired with the key card pretty much in the same way as the phone does.
Also, I have to assume the son you mentioned, is your step-son. There's no way that you are old enough to have a son of your own, who is old enough to drive.
😂 nope, I have a biological 15 year old and a 16 year old stepson
@@SaraJAwesome I guess it's a case of the older you get, the younger the age groups you left long ago appear. Since I'm easily old enough to be your father, you look to be very young.
Im having so many issues with both my model 3 & Y with my family iphones connecting to the car and once I park my car and go inside and go back to my car I can’t connect again… it switches to another driver profile and phone thats inside the house. Idno what to do
That’s weird. I haven’t heard of that issue. I would disconnect all the phone, reboot the car with the power off button, reboot the screen with the two scroll buttons, and then reconnect everything. Then also make sure you do have a primary phone key selected on the screen in the car. I’m not sure if this will help, but it’s worth a try.
Feel free to DM (message) me on Instagram so you can send pics to me, and I’ll see if I can help you. Sarajawesome on instagram.
Will do
Great subject! ...sharing car with spouse.... I was thinking a lot about this.... ...the question that I have... Do I really want to share my Tesla (comes in May 2022) with my wife? Why? Is it OK to give my Kia EV Soul 2016 (also white on white) to my wife instead? The Kia does have cooled seats which the TM3 2022 does not have (!!!). So, when is it OK to say, hey this is my car, I do not even want to share it? Tough question... ...maybe if my girlfriend (maybe future wife) really likes the Tesla, just get one for her and sell the KIA (?).... I would like to hear if others think that sharing your Tesla with your spouse is actually in important spiritual thing in term of generosity (?) and caring for others (?)....
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I don’t really share 🤷♀️ I’d say yeah just give her the Kia, then trade it in and get her a TESLA if she wants. 😆 This is hilarious 🤣
👍
😉
Still having issues , I set profile from the phone app , added my wife user to join the car as well , we both enabled the app as a phone key , in the car screen I do see our both phones as keys , also I connect each profile to each phone key as you shown , but still when entering the car it uses the last profile driven and not the profile that just unlocked the car. Someone ?
Awesome
Thanks;)
I’ve had my Tesla a week and we can’t get the seats to automatically move when either one of us approaches the vehicle. Our keys and phones are assigned to our profile. Will seats only move if you unlock the doors? We have car set to not auto lock at home, so if the other person goes to drive the car parked in our garage, the door is already unlocked. My husband is 6’4” and I’m 5’1” and he literally cannot enter the vehicle if seats are set for me, so this is quite the issue! Our work around is easy entry, but then I’m so far back I can’t reach the brake pedal to get the seats to move to my position, so I have to change profile on the screen.
Our car is the same. We have to change the profile manually.
Hmmm 🤔 mine is on unlock. Let me do some experiments and get back to you. I’ll try the unlock with phone, and leave unlock method.
And y’all’s is set to priority device as well? And you use a phone key?
@@SaraJAwesome I did some playing around because I figured if you could do it, so could I. I ended up removing all of our keys and phones and repairing them with the car and our profiles now it works - whether it's locked our unlocked, so that appears to be irrelevant. My husband didn't have his phone paired to his profile for a couple days before I realized it and changed it for him, so I don't know if it was glitchy because we didn't set it up correctly from the get go.
@@caretobreed Maybe I'll try that too and see if it works. Thanks!
My Girlfriend and I share a BMW but can't set two different profiles so have to share 1. Getting a Tesla will be so much easier.
You will LOVE it!!!!!!!!!
@@SaraJAwesome I already do and haven't even got one, Lol
So you don’t use easy entry?
Can you do a video on valet mode?
No I don’t use easy entry, and yes, I can a video on that eventually;)
What’s easy entry?
I don’t personally like or use easy entry. That doesn’t mean it’s not good for other people. It’s just not good for me. But basically if you have it set to that, when you put the car in park (I think) or maybe start to open the door it will move your seat and the steering wheel to a generic optimal position for someone to easily get out of the car. It’s not that helpful for me because it’s actually very similar to my personal seat setting, the only thing that is a big change from my setting is it raises the steering wheel higher I guess so your legs can move out from under the wheel easier. For me it also raises the seat a little in easy entry mode. Some people love it. It’s just not for me personally. I know this isn’t the best explanation but I’m not that educated on it since I don’t use it. 😬
@@SaraJAwesome OK. I thought I would write this comment, but @islandsnow did it first.
First of all easy entry position also programmable/adjustable. I made it to sit way back and down and wheel all the way in and up. It is very useful for me as I prefer to drive with sit forward and wheel close to me. It is very inconvenient to get in and out with such configuration. Also, with easy entry enabled it doesn’t matter who drove the car last as it always will be in that easy entry position.
BTW all moves in and out easy entry position when driver buckles and unbuckles. You can put car in park to let passengers in and out without moving your chair, which makes sense. Only if you unbuckling, car knows that you want to get out.
I was totally wrong!!!!! You can program what settings you want your easy entry to be!!!!!! I’m an idiot!!!!!! So cool!!!! I just never really used it or played with it!!!!
I deleted my profile, and now can’t add it again as it say it is already connected. But don’t show up on Tesla screen 😢
Can you be a little more specific? Also, did you try powering off the car and powering back on? And deleting all the keys and profiles and redoing them? and also log out of tesla app on your phone and log back in? I’m just stating the obvious, but I’m not exactly sure what you mean. You could definitely reach out to Tesla too through the app and they can probably do some kind of reset or walk you through it.
Very recently, my phone unlocks my car but keeps on asking for the card before I can use it. I don't know what happened!
This can happen if you accidentally turn off your Bluetooth from your phone maybe. I’m not sure it has happened to me too but only a few times. Make sure you never close the Tesla app in your background of your phone, keep Bluetooth on, and if you ever don’t have your keycard and it asks for it.. try going into to your Tesla app and hitting the start button. This will give you 2-3 minutes to get in your car and put it in drive and drive away even without the keycard and it asking for one. Also do a hard reboot like I showed in my video. Go into the car screen and hit power off and leave the car off for 4 minutes and then turn it back on with the brake. Also make sure all your settings in your app allowed for Bluetooth and your Tesla app etc. Let me know if this helps. Sorry for typos I’m landing in a plane right now.. getting off.
Also try logging out of your Tesla app and logging back in. That will reboot the connection between your phone and the car and there’s also an update for the Tesla app so make sure it’s updated
@@SaraJAwesome I’ve tried logging off and on and soft reset and still didn’t work. Maybe I’ll try the hard reboot on the car and if that doesn’t work, I’ll try removing the phone from it and re-install it again. And thanks to your latest video that it will make it easier for me to do so.
Darn, yes try making the car forget the phone completely and then connect it back. Forget it as a phone and Bluetooth. The two separate things that I showed in the video. I’m sorry, I really hope it helps. Keep me posted. Forget both at the same time (well one right after the other) so both connections are gone for a few minutes and then add them back. Probably didn’t matter what order.
@@SaraJAwesome No worries! I still have to try it…after I chipped off the ice built up on my car after yesterday’s snow storm! Nevertheless, your video still helps me A LOT!!
Thank you. My wife threatened me if I didn’t fix this.
Hmmmm...my wife’s car doesn’t automatically move when her or I get in. We still have to change the profile on the screen manually.
Did you set one of the phones to be a priority device?
@@SaraJAwesome Yes, my wife's.
Don't you have to step on the brake before the profile activates? That is what I found. Also, if you check "easy entry" on your profile and set the seat and wheel to a position that allows you to enter/leave the car, that will activate when you unhook your seatbelt. So if one person's seat if close up, the next person can get in as easy entry will move the seat back when the person takes off their seat belt.
And Did you associate each of your keys with your own profile?
I don’t use easy entry, but as soon as I unlock the car with a phone or a keycard it moves the seat to the position of the profile that the specific key is associated with. I don’t need to touch the brake to have it go to the profile. But I’m not sure if easy entry is an issue with that since I don’t use it.
I’m tall
Good post but this isn't entirely accurate. Ppl need to realise that there are three parts to this - keys, profiles and bluetooth devices. Per the guidance in the video - you can specify which profiles relates to a specific key. Important to note that keys have nothing to do with paired bluetooth devices - this is because keys work off NFC and RFID connections. If it's a key card then it's RFID. If it's a phone key, then it's NFC. The "Priority Device" setting on the other hand relates to paired bluetooth connections - this is why it's under bluetooth settings. The Priority Device setting tells your car which specific bluetooth device takes precedence for calls, messages, contacts, and audio, when there are multiple paired bluetooth devices in the car at the same time, and it applies to any and all profiles associated with that car. It isn't telling your car which key is priority. My wife and I both have our own separate profiles and phone keys defined for my M3, and my phone is the priority device. Most of the time it's OK and there are no problems when only one "key holder" uses the car but when we both approach the car together the car will pick the first phone key it detects, based on proximity and strength of the NFC signal, it will then pick the relevant profile associated with that phone key. This means it could still pick my wife's phone key and profile, irrespective of the fact my phone is the "priority device". But it will use my phone instead of my wife's phone for calls, messages, and audio, because it is the "priority device". I hope that helps people get their head around why they still have a problem, with multiple keys, profiles and devices, despite following the instructions.
You explained this so well!!!!!!! Very very true!
Great explanation. We are trying to do what you and Sara are doing on brand new 2023 Model Y. Tesla account is in my name. Two iPhones - wife gets in car with her iPhone to drive and it's setup for her with seat adjustments, etc.. I get into car with my iPhone and it's setup for me. Do you and your wife use separate accounts on each of your phones or do you share a single account on both phones to make this all work?
cheers @@dpj118 - we both have separate Tesla accounts. My wife uses the Tesla app on her phone using her account and I use my account with the app on my phone. Because the car is in my name, under the "Manage Drivers" section of the app I have nominated her as a driver. Hope that answers your question!
Yes, answered. Thanks. Your and Sara’s technique for which accounts to initially use differ I think but both seem to work. Any advantage to spouse using your account or their separate account?
In order for your spouse to have her own profile on your vehicle, she will need to be added as another driver, and she will need her own account. This is per the info from Tesla's website on the "How to Add or Remove Drivers" topic.
This could have been done in a 30 second video. But thanks.
You could make one. That’s not my cup of tea though. I could talk for days about this car.
