FAQ

What Tesla models is Handlefree compatible with?

Handlefree works with Tesla vehicles that support Bluetooth phone keys and current software. Initial testing covers Model Y, with other models like Model 3, S, and X having cosmetic illustrations. Compatibility for additional doors or cargo actions is tested on your car before shortcuts are enabled.

How does Handlefree handle security and privacy?

Handlefree is designed with privacy in mind. Your key is created on your iPhone and stored in its device-only Keychain. The app does not require a Tesla login, a Handlefree account, or use any servers, analytics, or advertising SDKs.

What features are free in Handlefree?

The free version of Handlefree includes control for your driver door, locking and unlocking, Holiday Mode, and all safety settings. This allows for essential vehicle access and control without any cost.

What does Handlefree Pro offer and how much does it cost?

Handlefree Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks passenger and rear doors, the frunk, trunk, charge-port cover, and the Apple Watch app. It is also shared with family through Family Sharing. A 7-day free trial of all Pro features is available after pairing your car.

How does Handlefree send commands to the Tesla?

Each command is sent directly to your car over Bluetooth. Commands are deliberate attempts and are not queued or retried automatically. The app provides feedback on the command's status, including whether it was requested, accepted, reported open, or unavailable.

Can I use Handlefree to open doors for passengers?

Yes, Handlefree allows you to release a passenger's specific door before they reach for the handle. This provides a convenient way to let others into the vehicle without them needing to interact with the car's exterior.

What is Holiday Mode in Handlefree?

Holiday Mode pauses all commands until you turn it off using Face ID or your passcode. This is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental door openings or other actions when the app is not actively being used.
