Doors are electrically powered. When you approach Cybertruck carrying a phone key, the doors and tailgate automatically unlock. To open a door, press the exterior door release button on the pillar to the right of each door. You can also open a door using the Tesla mobile app (see Mobile App).

The doors do not automatically lock/unlock when you approach Cybertruck carrying only a key card. You must manually lock/unlock the vehicle. See Keys for more information.

Whenever a door is open, the Door Open indicator displays on the touchscreen. Also, the image of the Cybertruck on the touchscreen's Controls window provides a visual representation of the open door(s).

To close a door from the outside, manually push it shut. Make sure no objects are in the way before closing the door.

To open a door while sitting inside, press interior door open button, located at the top of the interior door handle, and push the door open.

While sitting inside Cybertruck, you can lock or unlock all doors, the tailgate, and the powered frunk by touching the lock icon on the touchscreen.

The icon changes to indicate whether doors are locked or unlocked.

When you stop Cybertruck and engage Park, you can choose to unlock all doors. To turn this feature on or off, touch Controls > Locks > Unlock on Park.

Cybertruck automatically locks all doors (including the powered frunk and tailgate) when your driving speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h). The touchscreen displays a message if the tailgate remains open after the vehicle locks.

If you have enabled your phone as a key, your vehicle cannot tell whether your phone is inside or outside of the vehicle. If you want to lock the doors while inside Cybertruck so that they cannot be opened from the outside, close the doors and use the lock icon on the touchscreen. This temporarily overrides any phone lock settings, such as Walk-Away Door Lock. Otherwise, because your phone is enabled as a key, the doors will unlock when the exterior door handles are pulled even if you press the lock icon on your mobile app. If you open the door from the inside, that will once again allow the doors to be opened from the outside so long as the phone key is detected. (see Phone Key for more information).

The doors, tailgate, and powered frunk can automatically lock when you walk away carrying your phone key. To turn this feature on or off, touch Controls > Locks > Walk-Away Door Lock.

When the vehicle locks, the exterior lights flash once. To also sound a confirmation chime when Cybertruck locks, touch Controls > Locks > Lock Confirmation Sound.

Cybertruck does not automatically lock if:

• You choose Exclude Home and Cybertruck is parked at the location you have designated as Home. For details on how to designate a location as Home, see Home, Work, and Favorite Destinations.
• A key is detected inside Cybertruck (such as your phone or a key card resting on the card reader).
• A door or the powered frunk is not fully closed.
• The phone key's Bluetooth is not able to communicate with the vehicle or the phone's battery is dead.
• If Cybertruck detects an authenticated phone key for several minutes after you exit the vehicle and close all doors, Walk-Away Lock disables and doors do not lock when you walk away. In this case, you must manually lock your vehicle using a key card until after your next drive.
• The driver exits the vehicle without using the driver's door.

Enabling Controls > Locks > Driver Door Unlock Mode only unlocks the driver's door when you first unlock Cybertruck. To unlock the remaining doors, long press the interior door open button, or use the touchscreen or mobile app.

Disabling Driver Door Unlock Mode unlocks all doors, the powered frunk, and the tailgate when you first unlock Cybertruck.

Receive a mobile notification if a door, the powered frunk and/or windows are left open or if Cybertruck is left unlocked unexpectedly. Touch Controls > Locks > Car Left Open Notifications.

Cybertruck has child locks on the rear doors to prevent them from being opened using the interior door open buttons. On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Locks > Child Lock. You can choose Both to engage the child lock on both rear doors, or you can choose Left or Right to engage it on just a specific door.
