Extra Key Questions

[chris22104]

I need a second key (I only have one.) There are no Tesla dealers anywhere around me (about an 8 hour drive east or west.) Can a Tesla dealer program a key to my car, without the car being there? (Then send it to me to be cut.) I'm assuming they are all on the same frequency; they just need programming to the specific car, correct? Is this something that I can do, (as I do with my Hondas inside of 2 minutes with a turn key 3 times/ holding button down on each key fob (or similar) type procedure?) I'm assuming the keys are different than the Lotus Elise keys and method of programming? Any help here would be appreciated!
Thanks guys!

Have you tried calling Tesla service and asking?

In my case this was not possible. The Ranger had to program it.

The lock button on one of my keys has stopped working and my usual Tesla ranger told me that a ranger needs to be at the car to do the programming (and they have been very willing to support me remotely when they can), but it's always a good idea to go ahead and ask Tesla for yourself.
