Install the Tesla app on another person's phone, and give them access to my car from their phone in case of an emergency.
Ok.. There are two ways to accomplish this. A "very easy" way (but less secure) and a slightly convoluted way but more secure.
EASY WAY
Simply download the tesla app on the other persons phone, then log into the tesla app with your own, existing credentials.
Pros:
1. Very easy, can be done quickly
2. The person using your account on the other phone has access to everything, including roadside service through the app, and purchasing upgrades.
Cons:
1. Less secure, you are sharing your tesla account
2. Sometimes the app logs out.
3. The person using your account on the other phone has access to everything, including roadside service through the app and purchasing upgrade
SLIGHTLY more convoluted way:
PRE-Requisites
1. Have person who you want to give access to, create their own tesla account before starting this. A tesla account can be created easily, without having any tesla products to put in the account. Do this BEFORE attempting to grant access. Once the person you want to give access to creates their own tesla account, have them give you the email address they used when creating that account.
2. Recommendation: Do this on a computer, instead of a phone. these instructions below assume accessing the tesla account from a computer / getting the computer version of the tesla website, not the version that may present on mobile devices.
Workflow:
1. Navigate to tesla.com website. Click login in upper right hand corner
2.Click the MANAGE button under the picture of your car
3. Next to the words CAR ACCESS click the little arrow that signifies there is a drop down menu
4. Click the small link that says ADD DRIVER (its in a somewhat small font)
5. Enter first name, last name and email address of the person you want to grant access to. NOTE: This should match the information used by the person previously to create their tesla account above, in PRE - Requisites.
6. Click save
7. Now, have person you just added on the website log out of the tesla app on their phone, wait about 30 seconds to 1 minute, then log back in
