What's the easiest way to extend the car handles when you are inside the car?

this is for getting other folks to come inside or just to impress others.

The three ways I know of :

1) click on the lock icon twice
2) Change to park
3) use the phone app


Any other way?

Thanks!
 
Yea, I wish there was a better way while in Drive. I seem to be dropping/picking up my daughter and her friends more often than before the Tesla. :) Quick pick-ups leave people standing outside the car waiting for the handles to present. Not a big deal , I can live with it
 
Opening the door presents the handles.
Only true if Settings/Vehicle/Door Unlock Mode = "ALL".
If set to Driver, the other door handles do not present if you open the driver's door.

also in answer to the original question, there is another (albeit less efficient) way:
- press "Controls" on bottom left of the 17" screen, then
- press "Unlock" on the overhead picture of your car, near bottom left

can't recall if this works while still in Drive, it might...

as others have noted, if already in Park just tap the button at end of the shifter, that's what I usually do.
