Teslas are unique cars with unexpected innovations, and going on that first ride is one for the books. It's normal to feel a bit intimidated, since Teslas are pretty different from normal cars—and that includes the doors. Don't worry, it's super easy once you know what to do! In this article, we'll explain exactly how to open and close the doors on all 4 Tesla models (each model is a little different). We'll also give you the scoop on how to lock and unlock Tesla doors so you'll be fully prepared when the time comes.
Things You Should Know
