How To Change Glove Box Pin Tesla

Most Tesla cars include a discrete glove box without a handle. You’ll need to open it using a control on the touchscreen.

Opening the Glove box

Model 3 & Model Y:

To open the glove box, tap the car icon (Controls) at the corner of the screen and then tap the Glove box button on the screen. The glove box automatically opens and the light turns on.

Model S & Model X (2021+):

To open the glove box, tap Controls or Quick Actions, then tap the Glove box button on the touchscreen. The glove box automatically opens and the light turns on.

Model S & Model X (2012-2020):

To open the glove box, push the triangular glove box button to the right of the touchscreen.

To close the glove box, push it upward until it clicks closed.

Glove Box PIN

If you have any sensitive information in your glove box, such as your USB drive for Sentry Mode, you may want to consider adding a glove box PIN. The PIN number will be required anytime someone tries to open the glove box.

Keep in mind the glove box is not meant to be used as a safe. It’s possible to manually open the glove box by accessing the side panel of the dashboard and manually releasing the latch. This requires someone to have access to unlock and open the passenger side door.

To set a PIN number go to Controls > Safety & Security > Glovebox PIN. Follow the instructions to set your PIN number.

To remove a PIN number, tap Disable and enter your PIN number.

Forgot Glove Box PIN

If you forget your glove box PIN, you can reset the PIN by entering your Tesla account credentials at the bottom of the glove box PIN screen.

Voice Commands

One of the easiest ways to open the glove box is through the use of a Tesla voice command. Simply press the voice command button on the steering wheel and say “open glove box.” If your glove box requires a PIN number to open, it’ll bring up the PIN number display on the screen, otherwise it’ll open the glove box immediately.

Is the glove box locked when the car is locked?

When the vehicle is locked, the glove box is also locked, unless the vehicle is locked through the touchscreen. Using your keyfob, phone, keycard or the app to lock your car, will also lock your glove box. When Valet Mode is enabled on the vehicle, the glove box is automatically locked.

Glove Box Won’t Stay Closed

If you have a glove box that won’t stay closed, this means that the trigger no longer springs back. You can see if this is the problem by manually pulling out the round triggers on the left and right side of the glove box, and trying to close the glove box. If it stays closed then this is likely your problem and they’ll need to be replaced. This is an item that is covered under Tesla’s warranty.
