The Tesla Tool is a specialty long reach tool designed specifically for the effective opening of Tesla model vehicles. Tesla models can be tricky, particularly with respect to their use of thin Laminated Glass on the front two windows of the vehicle, rather than the more traditionally used tempered glass. Sandwiching the Telsa Tool between two Wonder Shields helps to protect the tool from contacting the window glass, preventing damage.
In a situation where the vehicle is without power, the electronic locks fitted on a Tesla will not function properly. The Manual Door Release Lever in front of the window switches on the door pane can be manipulated to open the vehicle. This release lever can be difficult to access with traditional Long Reach Tools due to the shape of the lever, the direction and angle that it needs to be manipulated, and the tightness of the frameless window through which the tool needs to pass.
The Tesla Tool works on the following models: Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y.
