Keyless Locking and Unlocking
Locking and unlocking Model X is convenient. Although
you must be carrying a valid key fob, there is no need to
use it. Model X has sensors around the driver's door that
can recognize the presence of a key fob within a range
of approximately one meter. So, you can keep your key
fob in your pocket or purse and Model X detects it as
you approach.
When you walk up to Model X carrying your key fob, the
doors automatically unlock if Passive Entry is on
(

unlock.

Using the Key Fob
To quickly familiarize yourself with the key fob, think of
the key fob as a miniature version of Model X, with the
Tesla badge representing the front. The key fob has
three buttons on the top that feel like softer areas on the
surface, and a metal button on each side representing
the falcon wing doors.
