Replacement key fob

[unbelievable]

I lost one of the key fobs for my 2018 model s and am about to trade the car in for a Y. Does anyone know if I can programme a 2014 model s key to be recognised? I know the US fobs work on a different frequency so won't work, but am hoping I'll be able to use the 'Add a key fob' instruction from the centre screen to reprogramme a 2nd hand UK fob to work with my S. Trying to avoid the extortionate charge Tesla will no doubt try to inflict on me.

I had a new key reprogrammed for my 2017 MX last week. I bought a new key fob off eBay for £40 (kind of a bargain tbh) and Tesla charged £87 to reprogram it. They initially quoted £155 to supply and reprogram a new key which I think it's fairly decent when comparing to other car brands.

I'm on MCU1 and dont have an option to add a key fob, not sure MCU2 is different... I thought this was only possible on the 3/Y cars.

... possible on the 3/Y cars...

3/Y and Palladium S/X.


Raven S/X was produced in 2019-2020.

Palladium S/X was produced in 2021 and later.

Ah, ok, it's not too expensive then. I seem to remember £300 for the key and then reprogramming on top of that.

I have this option so I thought it might work.

Are you saying it won't work on a 2018 car? What is the option I have above then?

***EDIT*** Don't worry, I've found out what it is - a security update to existing key fobs

Was the new key you bought from eBay used or brand new? I bought 2 from eBay but found out they are used and activated / tied to other Tesla vehicles. They work (not broken). Had Tesla Mobile Service come out yesterday they said if the key fob bought from Ebay was not deactivated from the vehicle it was activated for they cannot reprogramm it.

hello! I have a 2018 Model X and would like to buy a new key fob but on the Tesla website it says Note: Compatible with Model X vehicles produced in 2021+. What can I do to get a replacement? There is no where to call Tesla to ask. thank you!
