This physical shortcut buttons console (also referred to as "S3XY Console") is compatible with Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y (and noted to be designed for seamless integration with all Tesla models in FAQs). It addresses the core need of Tesla owners for simplifying in-car function operation, solving the problem of cumbersome access to common features—such as navigating through the central touchscreen to open doors, adjust seats, or control lights—which can distract drivers or inconvenience passengers. The product integrates one-touch control, multi-functionality, and charging retention, while ensuring it prioritizes driving safety and does not interfere with the vehicle’s original systems.
Crafted with a compact, ergonomic design (dimensions mentioned include 1.1inch and 8.5inch, likely referring to button size and console length), the console features physical shortcut buttons for direct function activation. It also retains the traditional docking station design, supporting fast charging and hub functions to meet daily power needs. Installation requires no specialized tools, following simple instructions provided in the user manual.
The console pre-sets physical buttons for a range of high-frequency Tesla functions, eliminating the need to operate via the central touchscreen. Key controllable features include:
- Door & Storage Opening: One-click (or double-click, for safety) control of right front door, right rear door, frunk (front trunk), trunk, and glovebox. This is especially convenient for passengers unfamiliar with Tesla’s hidden door handles, who can open doors with a simple press.
- Seat Adjustment: Instant adjustment of the passenger seat—supports forward/backward movement of the seat cushion and forward/backward tilting of the backrest. Drivers can quickly optimize passenger comfort without navigating touchscreen menus.
- Light & Battery Management: One-press control of reading lights (for night-time reading or item searches) and battery preheating (critical in cold weather, as it enhances charging efficiency and saves time before trips).
- Mirror Control: Quick folding/unfolding of exterior mirrors, useful for parking in narrow spaces or passing through tight areas.
- Double-Click Activation for Critical Functions: To prevent accidental operation while driving, functions like door and trunk opening are set to double-click mode. This ensures that features with safety implications (e.g., door opening mid-drive) are not triggered by a single unintended press.
- Ergonomic Placement: The console’s design aligns with Tesla’s interior layout, placing buttons within easy reach of the driver without requiring excessive hand movement. This minimizes distraction from the road, adhering to safe driving principles.
- Docking Station Compatibility: The console preserves the structure of a traditional docking station, allowing access to all original Tesla charging and hub features. Users can still charge devices via USB ports and use hub functions (e.g., data transfer) without inconvenience—combining shortcut control with daily utility.
- Fast Charging Support: It supports fast charging for connected devices, meeting the need for quick power replenishment of phones, tablets, or other electronics during trips.
- Tool-Free Setup: Installation follows detailed instructions in the user manual, requiring no specialized tools or modifications to the original vehicle. Even users without technical experience can complete setup, and customer support is available for troubleshooting.
- All Tesla Model Compatibility: While tailored for Model 3/Y, the console is designed to work seamlessly with all Tesla models, ensuring consistent functionality and integration across different vehicle variants.
- Understand Button Modes: Differentiate between single-click and double-click functions (e.g., double-click for doors/trunks) to avoid accidental activation. Familiarize yourself with button positions before driving to ensure smooth operation without distraction.
- Installation Tips: Follow the user manual strictly to align the console with the vehicle’s interior structure. Avoid forced installation, as this may damage the console or the vehicle’s original components. If encountering difficulties, contact customer support promptly.

Usage Precautions:
- Do not modify the console’s circuit or button settings privately, as this may interfere with Tesla’s original system and cause malfunctions.
- Keep the console dry; avoid spilling liquids on it to prevent short circuits or button damage.
-
Maintenance & Care:
- Regularly wipe the console surface with a soft dry cloth to remove dust and stains. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or strong chemical solvents (e.g., alcohol, acetone) that may scratch the surface or fade button labels.
- Check the console’s connection status periodically (if wired) to ensure stable function activation and charging performance.
For Tesla Model 3/Y owners, this physical shortcut buttons console delivers three key values:
- Efficiency Upgrade: It simplifies operation of high-frequency functions, saving time and reducing the hassle of touchscreen navigation—ideal for busy daily commutes or scenarios requiring quick adjustments.
- Enhanced Passenger Convenience: Passengers (especially those unfamiliar with Tesla’s system) can easily open doors or use features without relying on the driver, improving overall in-car experience.
- Safety & Practicality Balance: The double-click safety design and ergonomic layout ensure safe driving, while retained charging/hub functions meet daily utility needs—avoiding trade-offs between convenience and practicality.
