Hvis du ikke bruge telefon som nøgle eller en keyfob så skal man ligge RFID nøglen ved kopholdere et øjeblik hvis der er gået mere end 30 sekunder siden man har låst bilen op, fra manualen:
Drive Disabled - Requires Authentication
If Model 3 does not detect a key when you
press the brake (an authenticated phone is not
detected, or 30 seconds has passed since you
used the key card), the touchscreen displays a
message telling you that driving requires
authentication.
If you see this message, place the key card
behind the cup holders on the top of the
center console where the RFID transmitter can
read it. The 30 second authentication window
restarts and you can start Model 3 by pressing
the brake pedal.
A number of factors can affect whether Model
3 can detect an authenticated phone (for
example, the phone's battery is low or dead
and is no longer able to communicate using
Bluetooth).
Always keep your authenticated phone and a
key card with you. After driving, your
authenticated phone or key card is needed to
restart Model 3 after it powers off. And when
you leave Model 3, you must bring your
authenticated phone or key card with you to
lock Model 3, either manually or automatically.
Powering Off
When you finish driving, shift into Park by
pressing the button on the end of the gear
selector. The parking brake automatically
engages and all systems keep operating.
When you leave Model 3 with your
authenticated phone and key card, it powers
off automatically, turning off the touchscreen.
Model 3 also powers off automatically after
being in Park for 15 minutes, even if you are
sitting in the driver’s seat.
Although usually not needed, you can power
off Model 3 while sitting in the driver’s seat,
provided the vehicle is not moving. Touch
Controls > Safety & Security > Power Off.
Model 3 automatically powers back on again if
you press the brake pedal or touch the
touchscreen.
Note: Model 3 automatically shifts into Park
whenever it is determined that you are exiting
the vehicle, even when you shift into Neutral
before exiting. To keep Model 3 in Neutral, you
will need to activate Transport Mode (see
Instructions for Transporters on page 207).
