TESLA Tutorial: Sync Your Keys With Your Driver Profile & More!!! (Short Spouse Problems LOL)

[@terrymrt8859]

Thank you , this is an issue with my family also. We just got a new X (Wow!!!) but key card, key fob,key phone ???? I will need to play your video a couple of times until I get it. You are Awesome.! A big help!

[@SaraJAwesome]

Ahhhh! Congratulations! 🍾🎈🎉🎊 🤩🥳I’m so jealous of your model X!!! Welcome to the family!!! Yes, just play the video on your spouses phone while you set up on one phone, then play it again on the other phone while you set up next one. 😉

[@os2baba]

Thank you!!!! The missing piece for me was clicking on the icon with the profile of my wife selected. She would unlock the door and it would go to my profile and then she would select her profile. That was really bad because it's her car. I swear I read the manual multiple times. But your video made it crystal clear.

[@KineticEV]

Great tutorial. Another one to add to my favorites so that when I take delivery I don't hav to go searching for these tips and tricks.

[@SaraJAwesome]

Thank you!!!!!! I’m here if you have questions when the time comes! Comment in any video and I can direct you or answer your questions whether it’s related to the video or not! Happy to help!

[@mrtigerchan]

First I like to say thank you. I thought I know a lot about my car, and your topic sounds too basic, but after watching it, I realized “you learn something new everyday,” which I did from your clear narration. Thank you, you’re AWESOME!

[@SaraJAwesome]

Well, THANK YOU!!!!! That’s exactly how I feel when I’m making them! I’m like, is this stupid? Does everyone know this already? But then I remember there was a point where I didn’t know it either, so if I can help just one person.. then it’s worth my effort. Maybe I should work on my titles? To let people know it’s not as basic as they think? Idk. Also, every time I teach y’all something, y’all teach me right back in the comments! That’s why I love this community so much!!!!!!!! And my car too! Every time we think we know it all, or get bored.. bam! Here’s something new and amazing! Right?! Thank you so much for this comment, it is a huge compliment. 💚 YOU are awesome 🤩

Thanks for the tip Sara. I have been trying to figure out the seat adjustment part ever since we bought out model Y. You definitely saved our marriage.

[@jasonj7701]

Thank you for this tutorial. I’m a recent Tesla owner and I have to say I have been frustrated with some of the technology and getting everything set up properly. After watching your tutorial I think I have the profiles of me and my wife set up correctly. Finally! Thanks for all you do. Your videos are appreciated

So happy to help! Congratulations and welcome to the family! ❤️🍾🎊🎉🥳

[@timb.4902]

Sara, thank you for taking the time to explain this crucial piece! I have just followed your directions (almost) to set up my wife's iPhone. Very educational and practical advice! The "almost" part is due to the Tesla app sending a text message invite (if one chooses a text message delivery method within the Tesla app of the primary driver). Once my wife has clicked on the invitation link in her Text Messages, and installed the Tesla app she was prompted to create a username and set up a password. Having successfully logged into the Tesla app using the newly created username the iPhone was fully functional and was able to open the Tesla seemingly without needing the keycard. With this out of the way I followed your instructions :)

[@SaraJAwesome]

Oh yay!!!! So happy to help! Have a great week!!!!

[@chrisgorden4882]

We just got our Model 3 a few weeks ago and I was expecting the profile to automatically associate itself with the phone keys. Now I know there's an extra little button press to make this happen. Thanks so much!

Great job again! You do such a good job showing step by step so that there’s no confusion! One other point to make is that if each spouse has their own tesla account (due to having more than 1 Tesla or whatever) they can still add your car under their account. Have a great day!

[@ErictheRedCantona]

I have exactly the same problem so this was perfect. Although it’s me (the husband) that is always driving! My issue isn’t getting in, since the car pushes the seat right back on exit, but if I press the brake pedal forgetting she was in last I get pinned! Again great video, so glad the algorithm highlighted your channel, you have a great combination - great content, your cheeky mannerisms are appealing to watch and you have the face and voice of an angel. 10 out of 10!

[@SaraJAwesome]

Thank you!!!! Thank you so so much! Yeah, that’s weird about you needing to push the brake to stop it on exit? Are you saying when you put the car in park and unbuckle your seat belt it starts moving the seat forward to a shorter position? Is that because y’all share a profile or because you have easy exit box checked? What is happening? Definitely set up y’all’s own profiles and your own key cards. Set yours to priority. And you can either just not use the easy entry and I check the box by your profile, or you actually configure easy entry so it doesn’t squish you. Let me know.

[@ErictheRedCantona]

@@SaraJAwesome Easy Access checked Sara! It zips the seat back when we get out, so next one to get in it’s easy. The seat then sets itself to the profile set on the screen last, when you hit the pedal. This am me and her indoors (the British version of ‘my wife and I’ !) went through the steps you shared and we now have the perfect entry set up. Had my Model 3 for 6 weeks now and it is the best car I have ever owned. I love the tech and I am so glad I found your channel to tell me the stuff I didn’t even think of searching for! Unlike you though I wouldn’t be letting my kids behind the wheel so there is no profile for my three driving daughters - no matter how much I love them! I would do anything for love but I won’t do that ….. as the great Meat Loaf 😢 once said.

@@SaraJAwesome no worries it happens to me too all the time! 😄 As a matter of fact I do, my uncle’s Tesla (in Belgium) has a problem with autopilot he doesn’t want to use it anymore (phantom break and constant disabling) Do you have recommandations or already a video on the subject?

[@SaraJAwesome]

Yes, actually I have an autopilot video that I worked really hard on for almost a year. And it is still the only issues I have found with autopilot. Nothing more nothing less, so by watching it and learning how the car is thinking maybe he can be More aware of what types of situations cause ghost braking. Also, ghost braking has gotten much better over time like SIGNIFICANTLY better than when I made the video. And then more you drive it and just keep your foot on the accelerator and push the accelerator when you have ghost braking the car supposedly will learn from that situation and eventually stop reacting that way there. But you should watch the video first and make sure it will be helpful to him and not scare him more. I need to make an updated one. But all the information would be exactly the same, maybe just less dramatic since I’m more used to the car now. Let me know what you think. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5OnpHxjbMmgaLs

[@garys.becker1494]

Hey Sara J, Still luvin your video's and thanks for doing the 'associated' fob/keycard one that I was lucky enough that my rep DID explain that to me when I picked up my car. I was a little suprised you didn't mention our "BUTT" (back pocket of jeans) problem that the door handles don't extend LOL !!!! Also I remember seeing one of your video's about CHARGING and I"m not sure if you'll know this since you don't have a super-charger at your house but I"m asking anyway as you seem to know "Everything Tesla" . No one can seem to give me a consistent answer to these simple charging questions ? Is it best to charge your Tesla a "Little" (more often, every day?) or is it better to charge "A LOT" (LESS often, but charging more (from like 30-40% to 95%) ? Lastly, I heard you state you had a video on ALL (or most) of the VOICE COMMANDS, can you please direct to me to that video as I"m so new at all this, I can't find it ? Thanks again and I"m LOVIN my "S" Refresh more every day ! (which didnt' think was possible) Gary BTW- Mother of 6? are you kidding me ! you are amazing !!!

[@SaraJAwesome]

I actually have been meaning to make a video about the phone in back pocket not opening the door problem. And I have some solutions for it thatd I’ve share sun comments but not in a video. I think ultimately you are still going to be supercharging the same amount technically whether you do it all at once or in small increments. But I don’t really know. I don’t know EVERYTHING that’s for sure. I never will. 😂 I don’t have very many voice commands. I haven’t made that video yet. But I have a few voice commands in one of my last videos and I’ll give you the link. And in the comments to it lots of other people shared additional voice commands. So In that linked video look for my replies with these emojis ✅👆 and then read the comments that I replied to. They all have additional voice commands people shared. I do know that people told me Kim Java did a video with a lot of voice commands . But I haven’t looked for it yet. And yes, I have 4 stepsons but they are my babies and I raise them. ;) I think I answered everything but not sure. Thanks for your support! I’ll give the link below in separate comment!

Thanks so much for the great reply.. you are right, now that I remember, it was Kim Java's video about the voice commands, thanks for clarifying. Listen, I spoke to a rep at Tesla and "he' said that currently, the EXTEND DOOR HANDLES when approaching are ONLY available with the Key Fob, not with the phone ? Yes. this was confusing to me as well, but maybe if it is true, it will come in an "UPDATE" ? HOpefully, ? Anyway, just wanted to share that tidbit So, I gather this is the best way of communicating with you, so I'm going to keep the conversation and questions coming ! hope you don't mind ?

[@GarretL757]

Sara you really are awesome! This has been bugging my wife and I since we purchased last July. I’m 6’ she is 5’ and the struggle was real! Thanks so much for posting this! I might have to do some more testing but I think it’s even sensitive enough that if you are both by the car and one unlocks by opening a door and the other doesn’t it triggers off that. Not 100% sure but will do some more checking

[@SaraJAwesome]

Oh good!!!!! So I found that when I walk up with both phones in my hand, it leaves the seat and profile in whatever profile was pulled up the last time you excited the car. I’ll have experiment more with that particular circumstance but I’m glad that if it’s in my profile and me and my husband both walk up it does not switch to his profile. It just keeps it in mine. So if you had been driving the car for example and then you wife wants to drive, let he approach the car first a little ahead you by like 15 feet then it should actually change the seat and profile to hers. I hope this makes sense and still helps. Let me know!

@@SaraJAwesome just some default settings, nothing other than mirrors and steering wheel preferences. One more thing, I do see the profile show her phone next to it. That should considered correct setup right?

[@SaraJAwesome]

Yes, it just because the phone is next to her doesn’t mean you have her set as the primary driver where it will set things up for her when her phone is detected. I’ll try to look and see what the main setting for that is when I go out to my car today. I can’t remember.

[@TonyTsai]

@@SaraJAwesome don’t worry about it, I think I will try to detach her and re enrolled her and see if that makes any difference. She isn’t a preferred driver profile. But, Tesla should still recognize that setting. A software car will have glitches…look at Microsoft, still patches and updates. Thank you so much for answering back thou!

I think they are like $25 on the Tesla website. But I can’t remember. That way if a phone dies or disconnects they can still use the car. Or there’s another trick where if someone gets locked out, another one of y’all can go into your app and hit start and that will give the person a couple minutes to get in and drive away with no key even if they are in another state away from you.

Super helpful! I want to create a profile called “Valet” so that I can set seat position back for super tall people so they’re not moving the seat etc themselves…our Tesla valet feature has no seat setting.

[@kennethadams8322]

Another very informative video. You are a pleasure to listen to. Question: If you need to leave a key card with a valet, what would prevent them from linking their phone to your vehicle and possibly stealing it later that night?

[@SaraJAwesome]

They can’t do that because they have to login to your Tesla account with your user name and password. They can connect their Bluetooth but they can’t control the car, only connect their music and maybe messages by Bluetooth. But they have to have the app and login into your account it be able to lock and unlock the car and drive off. You can also just look at your profiles and your phones that are connected and forget them if they try to create a profile or connect a phone. Also you can put a PIN number to start the car and change it if needed. So you’re covered;) no worries

[@SirTimotheous]

Haven't read the comments yet just in case the answer to my question is there... but I'm curious if you can rename the paired phone like yours is? How would you do that?

[@SaraJAwesome]

You mean the actual device name? I think that’s what you name your actual phone like when you set it up and you name it Sara’s iPhone. Is that what you mean? But also it’s says on there what kind of phone it is under the name of the phone, and that I don’t think you can change, then next to that | is the name of the driver profile. It’s kind of hard to explain on here with txt. If you want you can reach out to me on Instagram or Twitter @sarajawesome and direct message me so we can exchange pics and videos of what we are talking about. Or you can email me at [e-mail] if not let me know if you mean where on mine it’s says Sara’s iPhone or if you mean where it says iPhone 13 pro max. I’ll try my best;)

We are retired and have simplified our life with one car, Model Y. Is there a way to keep both of our phones linked to receive calls without having to select each time one of us is out driving alone. It’s annoying to have to keep changing who can receive hands free calls. Or am I missing something?

[@SaraJAwesome]

I’m not sure but try selecting to receive calls and message for both Bluetooth phone connections, and don’t select priority device on any of them. Make sure that the phones are connected to the driver profile and allow all Bluetooth settings on the screen in the car. Whoever is driving should approach the car about 10 feet in front of the other person and open the door first. Let me know if this helps.

As always great video. I learned something new lol. Question I see you have the iPhone 13 pro max do you have trouble charging it with the wireless charger?

[@SaraJAwesome]

Yea I do have trouble charging it on the wireless charger, but only when it’s in a case. If I don’t have a case in it charges fine. But I have a double case on mine and I also tried the Apple brand MagSafe (magnet circle back one) and that didn’t work either. It only works with a thin cases, ones with the back that has no magnet in it.

[@mosconi0359]

Sara, if you make your Profile the priority, won't your husband have trouble getting into the driver's seat when he needs to drive the car? I thought that was the reason for setting the profile to the phone keys to avoid this issue. It sounds like it's a fix at the beginning of your video and then you undo the fix at the end by syncing it to your key as a default. If a husband and wife do this, don't you end up back at square one with the taller person getting squeezed out? I'm confused.

[@SaraJAwesome]

I can’t remember exactly unless I rewatch my video, but you’re probably correct. But this is my car, so he only drives it like once a year. He has his own Tesla. So I want this car to always detect my phone over his phone and set my seat for me. Now if was his car then his phone would be the primary phone key so if we got in together with our phones it would detect his phone first. Not mine.

[@davidrios9283]

While sitting in my Tesla is there a way to turn off apps. Also turn vehicle off.

[@SaraJAwesome]

If you sit and don’t touch anything the car will turn off with you in it after a few minutes. I think 15 min but I can’t remember. Maybe less. Yes you can turn vehicle off completely by going to safety and hitting the power off button. But if you open doors or hit the brake it will power the car back on.

Im having so many issues with both my model 3 & Y with my family iphones connecting to the car and once I park my car and go inside and go back to my car I can’t connect again… it switches to another driver profile and phone thats inside the house. Idno what to do

[@SaraJAwesome]

That’s weird. I haven’t heard of that issue. I would disconnect all the phone, reboot the car with the power off button, reboot the screen with the two scroll buttons, and then reconnect everything. Then also make sure you do have a primary phone key selected on the screen in the car. I’m not sure if this will help, but it’s worth a try.

Do you have any experience pairing a wireless game controller? I wanted to use one and long story short I cant figure out how to get it successfully paired. Maybe the Nintendo controller doesn't pair with Tesla games? What controller do we need for Teslas games? It doesn't mention what is and isn't compatible, does it? Just wondering.

[@SaraJAwesome]

I’m not familiar with a wireless one for Tesla. I have a generic off brand PlayStation controller that plugs into the USB port and it works fine;) so I think it may need to have a chord with usb plug, or maybe a usb stick that connects wirelessly to the controller. If that’s a thing.. idk. Sorry this is all I know. :/

Such a great job, as always. Your step by step instructions are always so logical and simple to follow (it's almost as if you had been a tech writer putting owner's manuals together). It's not easy to put tutorials together that anticipate what needs to be seen, demonstrate the screens, how to get to them, what to press, and just enough of what can be done wrong to make the user comfortable with not getting it right away. You're a natural. I'm the only one that drives my car, but having driver profiles and recognizable keycards/connected phones is a relationship saver. I've shared cars before and seat position was always a hot button. So, yes, you've (and Tesla) definitely saved relationships. I'm going to check that I've done all the things you suggested (while my partner doesn't drive the Tesla, yet, her phone is connected so the doors unlock if she beats me back to the car or something). Hair didn't look bad at all, in fact like the braid. Hope your weather doesn't get crazy like last year. Be well.

[@SaraJAwesome]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! 😃 I think that reason I explain things well is I typically learn them on camera and then redo them immediately if or when I screw up, then I cut out the part where I screwed up or was learning. It makes editing harder because the raw video is lengthy, BUT it allows me to explain the exact things that were confusing to me. That way I can immediately point out what mistakes other people will probably make or answer questions they have before they even ask them. Does that make sense? I used to leave the mistakes in sometimes but then people get confused and also get bored with longer videos. So now I started only keeping in he specific correct way to do it so that they don’t accidentally remember the wrong way. I appreciate your 2 cents as always!!!! It’s not supposed to be too bad here, so yay! No busted pipes for anyone hopefully! Stay warm and have a great week!

Do you know if it goes off after you close the hood? Do you know how long it takes before it turns off? I put my iPhone in the frunk to take a video to see when the light times out, but even after over 6 minutes, the light still remains on. I appreciate very much any info you may have on this light. I'd like to know so that I can decide if I need to contact Tesla to correct this or not because I don't want the battery to drain due to this light staying on all the time. Thank you!

I’ve had my Tesla a week and we can’t get the seats to automatically move when either one of us approaches the vehicle. Our keys and phones are assigned to our profile. Will seats only move if you unlock the doors? We have car set to not auto lock at home, so if the other person goes to drive the car parked in our garage, the door is already unlocked. My husband is 6’4” and I’m 5’1” and he literally cannot enter the vehicle if seats are set for me, so this is quite the issue! Our work around is easy entry, but then I’m so far back I can’t reach the brake pedal to get the seats to move to my position, so I have to change profile on the screen.

Thanks, Sara. I will keep watching and learning. Someday my Tesla will be delivered, and by then, your videos will have me all up to speed. Delivery has slipped again, now June-July! I reserved in August, so it wil be almost a year waiting for my dream car. My wife says I must be in love with it to wait so long. No, that would be weird, right? My wife thinks I’m crazy to want a car that has so many flaws. Every time there is a recall or some negative FUD about Tesla, I hear about it. So, will user profiles save my marriage? No, but I hope the car arrives flawless and has no service issues for at least a year. And, I’m really glad you love your Tesla so much. It’s not weird, right? Is your husband just as happy with the car as you are?

[@SaraJAwesome]

Haha! You poor thing! It’s okay to be in love with it! I’ve had mine for over a year and I’m still obsessed and know next to nothing about it. I just teach y’all as I learn. Even with all the flaws my car has had, I wouldn’t never pick another car over this one ever! And when I bought mine I had faith in TESLA at all. I was scared and skeptical. But here I am, in love, living the dream. And I kind of love all it’s flaws because nothing is perfect, and I chose to support TESLA and take a chance when it was still not quite up to par yet. And that makes me and my car and it’s flaws feel special and important. And honestly.. I looked at tons of 2020 cars all gas before buying my Tesla and tons of them had flaws too! And they were brand new never driven. So it’s not that other manufacturers don’t have flaws.. it’s that they don’t get obsessed over, noticed, and spread all over the internet.. I will say even though my car had some issues, I haven’t had any for quite a while now. So yay! Just need to get my windshield fixed is all. And as for my husband.. he hates my car. 😂 probably because I raced him 3 times in his Subaru WRX STI and I beat him every time.. with the SLOWEST TESLA! Shifting takes time.. my TESLA doesn’t waste any! But then he went behind my back and reserved a Cybertruck 😂 But he still hates my car. Not sure why, he said he just loves knobs and buttons. And I personally hate them because they’re hard to clean. So I think that’s all. And he likes loud cars . 🤷‍♀️ It’s okay that she’s not in love. As long as you love it, and it doesn’t ruin your marriage;) 😂 sometimes I just stand at the front door and stare at my car.. I thought I was crazy but apparently other TESLA owners do the same thing. Like a baby in a crib… awwwwwwww 😆 I’m hoping to save enough money to get my windshield fixed, windows tinted and then do a wrap MYSELF! I already have some paint chips that I have to fix so I’m like why not just TRY to wrap it?! It can’t be THAT hard right?!

[@marcellobrown]

What’s easy entry?

[@SaraJAwesome]

I don’t personally like or use easy entry. That doesn’t mean it’s not good for other people. It’s just not good for me. But basically if you have it set to that, when you put the car in park (I think) or maybe start to open the door it will move your seat and the steering wheel to a generic optimal position for someone to easily get out of the car. It’s not that helpful for me because it’s actually very similar to my personal seat setting, the only thing that is a big change from my setting is it raises the steering wheel higher I guess so your legs can move out from under the wheel easier. For me it also raises the seat a little in easy entry mode. Some people love it. It’s just not for me personally. I know this isn’t the best explanation but I’m not that educated on it since I don’t use it. 😬

[@futynuty]

@@SaraJAwesome OK. I thought I would write this comment, but @islandsnow did it first. First of all easy entry position also programmable/adjustable. I made it to sit way back and down and wheel all the way in and up. It is very useful for me as I prefer to drive with sit forward and wheel close to me. It is very inconvenient to get in and out with such configuration. Also, with easy entry enabled it doesn’t matter who drove the car last as it always will be in that easy entry position. BTW all moves in and out easy entry position when driver buckles and unbuckles. You can put car in park to let passengers in and out without moving your chair, which makes sense. Only if you unbuckling, car knows that you want to get out.

[@SaraJAwesome]

This can happen if you accidentally turn off your Bluetooth from your phone maybe. I’m not sure it has happened to me too but only a few times. Make sure you never close the Tesla app in your background of your phone, keep Bluetooth on, and if you ever don’t have your keycard and it asks for it.. try going into to your Tesla app and hitting the start button. This will give you 2-3 minutes to get in your car and put it in drive and drive away even without the keycard and it asking for one. Also do a hard reboot like I showed in my video. Go into the car screen and hit power off and leave the car off for 4 minutes and then turn it back on with the brake. Also make sure all your settings in your app allowed for Bluetooth and your Tesla app etc. Let me know if this helps. Sorry for typos I’m landing in a plane right now.. getting off.

Darn, yes try making the car forget the phone completely and then connect it back. Forget it as a phone and Bluetooth. The two separate things that I showed in the video.

I know there will be times that I want to pull the car out of the garage for whatever, and I know that when that does happen, the phone and my wallet will be laying on a table, in the house. I'm guessing the fob gets paired with the key card pretty much in the same way as the phone does. Also, I have to assume the son you mentioned, is your step-son.

Don't you have to step on the brake before the profile activates? That is what I found. Also, if you check "easy entry" on your profile and set the seat and wheel to a position that allows you to enter/leave the car, that will activate when you unhook your seatbelt. So if one person's seat if close up, the next person can get in as easy entry will move the seat back when the person takes off their seat belt.

[@rayachemedei5666]

Good post but this isn't entirely accurate. Ppl need to realise that there are three parts to this - keys, profiles and bluetooth devices. Per the guidance in the video - you can specify which profiles relates to a specific key. Important to note that keys have nothing to do with paired bluetooth devices - this is because keys work off NFC and RFID connections. If it's a key card then it's RFID. If it's a phone key, then it's NFC. The "Priority Device" setting on the other hand relates to paired bluetooth connections - this is why it's under bluetooth settings. The Priority Device setting tells your car which specific bluetooth device takes precedence for calls, messages, contacts, and audio, when there are multiple paired bluetooth devices in the car at the same time, and it applies to any and all profiles associated with that car. It isn't telling your car which key is priority. My wife and I both have our own separate profiles and phone keys defined for my M3, and my phone is the priority device. Most of the time it's OK and there are no problems when only one "key holder" uses the car but when we both approach the car together the car will pick the first phone key it detects, based on proximity and strength of the NFC signal, it will then pick the relevant profile associated with that phone key. This means it could still pick my wife's phone key and profile, irrespective of the fact my phone is the "priority device". But it will use my phone instead of my wife's phone for calls, messages, and audio, because it is the "priority device". I hope that helps people get their head around why they still have a problem, with multiple keys, profiles and devices, despite following the instructions.
