Insert it between the rubber molding and the side window and then carefully hook it around the door button and pull it up. If you have the old-style door locks with little buttons on the window ledge, straighten a wire coat hanger and bend the end into a little hook.

I bought it from a dealer not affiliated with Tesla in Costa Mesa. I have AAA and it was the locksmith they sent out that said he couldn’t open it without damaging the car. Hope you got sorted without too much hassle.
#Locked my keys in my car software#
The handle on the trunk did start working fine with one software update, but then went back to never working, even when other doors are unlocked (and even open). In this case, it turned out to be no issue as I actually (unusually) had the second key in another pocket, but I still lived the locked out moment!! I probably don't help myself by having proximity activation off, but that said, I really don't fully understand / trust door & trunk opening. So what to do? Pus door fully closed and hope the handles present? I mean the key was right there in the car so why wouldn't that work? But then at least with the door slightly open, it would make it easier to ease the window and release the inside handle. The door just swung back enough to catch on the first locking point with the handle retracted, not openable but not fully closed. My recent experience was at a supercharger where I normally make a point of not closing the door if I'm just going to plug in the cord and sit back in the car. My other (non Tesla) EV feels far more helpful on the several occaisions when I have closed the trunk or door only to realize I had put the key down inside. There are many ways to forget to lock your car, and it seems somewhat unhelpful of Tesla to decide that the doors lock immediately on closing even with the key in range. What I don't get is why the car locks you out. I was recently (nearly) caught in a similar situation and remember the feeling. I would hope that people like aaa or emergency locksmiths would have as much chance at getting into the car as any advice here could offer, which isn't much help, but likely true.
