How do you lock a Tesla Model S with the key fob?

How am I supposed to lock the Tesla Model S with the key fob? I just got mine, and the key fob isn’t really labeled with anything.

Tesla
 products are notoriously tricky for first-time users—so try not to worry! You can lock or unlock all the doors on your
Tesla Model S
 by pressing the middle of the key fob once.
Instead of coming with different buttons for each function, Tesla keyfobs have different click patterns for each command. Here are some of the most important commands:
  • Click once to lock all doors.
  • Click twice to unlock all doors.
  • Click the thin part twice to open the front trunk.
  • Click the rear button twice to open the rear trunk.
  • Hold down the rear button to open the charging port.
Since you’re already taking time to figure out your Tesla key fob, take an extra minute to save on car insurance with
Jerry
. A licensed broker, the Jerry app can help you compare personalized quotes from over 50 top providers like Progressive and Nationwide for free. When you find a better plan, Jerry can help you buy your new coverage and even help cancel your old policy!
