How do I lock a Tesla?

I’m house-sitting for a friend this weekend and they said that I could drive their Tesla. I’ve never driven one before but I figured most of it out. Now that I am back home, how do I lock it?

I hope you have fun house-sitting and test driving your friend’s car! When it comes to a
Tesla
 the lock senses the key. If you’ve got the key on you and you walk away, the whole thing will lock up. Simple right?
When you’re inside of the car and you want it locked it’s also pretty easy. You can lock everything via the touch screen by selecting the lock icon.
If you are worried about your friend’s car while you’re out on the road it can help to have roadside assistance so you have peace of mind. With the
Jerry
 app in your pocket, you’ll never have to worry about being stranded again. Jerry partners with a monthly roadside assistant to provide jump starts, lockout service, key replacement, and towing.

How do you open a Subaru Legacy gas tank?
I just traded in my old Chevy Malibu for a newer Subaru Legacy, and while I love the look of my new car, it’s a little confusing trying to orient myself! I’m not even entirely sure how to open the fuel tank so I can gas up. How do you open a Subaru Legacy gas tank?

What’s the best year for a used Porsche Boxster?
I’ve been in love with Porsches since childhood, and now I’m finally going to buy one. I’m looking at the Porsche Boxster, but shopping for one is confusing. What’s a 986? Why is the 718 newer but has a smaller number? And what’s the best year for a used Porsche Boxster?
