① Introduction 🚗
Have you ever opened your Tesla trunk in a garage and suddenly thought:
“Is this going to hit the ceiling?”
Tesla's powered liftgate is extremely convenient, but in places like:
- home garages
- parking structures
- shopping mall parking lots
the ceiling can be surprisingly low.
The good news is that Tesla allows you to customize and save the liftgate opening height.
Once set, the trunk will only open to that height.
② How to Set Tesla Liftgate Opening Height 🔧
The setup takes only a few seconds.
Steps:
- Open the trunk
- Manually move it to your preferred height
- Press and hold the close button inside the trunk for about 3 seconds
- When you hear two beeps, the height is saved
From now on, the liftgate will only open to that saved height.
③ Practical Tips ⚠️
Leave about 10–20 cm of clearance below the ceiling.
Why?
Because factors such as
- uneven ground
- parking position
- suspension movement
can slightly change the actual height.
④ Why This Feature Matters 💡
Many Tesla owners assume the liftgate height is fixed.
However, Tesla actually allows customizable liftgate opening limits.
This small setting can prevent:
- trunk damage
- scratches
- garage accidents
