Replacing a 2018 Tesla Model S Key
The 2018 Tesla Model S typically uses a smart proximity key (keyless remote) that unlocks the doors as you approach and enables push-to-start, and must be paired to the vehicle electronically. Chida Locksmith carries the equipment to cut and program this type of key on-site, so most Tesla Model S owners in Albany can get a working replacement without towing the vehicle to a dealership. We stock and program smart keys for most models at your location.
Whether you have lost every key to your 2018 Tesla Model S, need a dependable spare, or your remote has stopped working, our mobile technicians handle it where you are — at home, at work, or on the roadside anywhere in Albany. We confirm the correct key for your exact year and trim before we arrive so the job is done in a single visit.
