How do you open glove box after an accident?

I keep insurance/registration in the wallet app on my phone - just in case.

Can always keep insurance/ registration in your center console.

Amazon even has a semi hidden compartment for the console lid. They have many different styles.

If there is still power, but the screen is dead, use your phone app.

I don't see it in the app, is it there?

Yep. I have a console lid storage box as well. Good idea.

There isn't such an option in the Tesla mobile app. Maybe in one of the third-party apps?

Someone on reddit posted a video showing them saying "open butt hole" and it opened the glovebox.

Holy sh*t, I just tried it and it works!

And, just like that, it's gone! Just updated to 2020.12.11.1 and this undocumented command no longer works. Guess I'll have to settle for the more pedestrian "open glovebox" command instead. That's too bad since it went so well with fart mode for a more complete scatological experience.

And now it's back... except that when you say "open butthole", it now opens the charge port instead of the glovebox. I think this current implementation is much more apt.

This is a great point, never thought about it but I keep a glass breaker and seatbelt cutter device in the glovebox, and never considered I wouldn't be able to get it out after a crash.guess I'll move it to the console until they create a fix for this.

Are you saying that the feature to automatically open the glove box after a collision is no longer working? Or are you worried about being able to access in cases other than a collision ?

in any case the power is out. for example, car flooded, the safety disconnect pops, and you lose power. Or any other kind of short that would result in the glovebox being stuck shut. it was my fault for never considering access to the device in a glovebox that does not have a mechanical release of some sort.

If for whatever reason you need to use that device, you don't have enough time with fiddling around trying to break into a glovebox, you need it quick.

I never keep those documents in my vehicles, don't need a criminal knowing where I live if they steal my car. I keep them in my wallet.

Those documents don’t contain my address in my state.
