How to Open the Front Hood of a Tesla?
1 Answers
Tesla's hood release switch is located under the dashboard on the driver's side. Simply pull the hood release switch gently, and the hood will unlock with a click. Then, locate another switch near the hood to open it fully. To prevent the hood from vibrating and opening unexpectedly while driving, Tesla hoods are equipped with a safety latch mechanism at the front. Below are some related instructions on adjusting and installing the Tesla hood: 1. Hood Installation and Adjustment: The hood should be installed in the reverse order of removal. Before tightening the bolts that secure the hood to the hinges, adjust the hood's position forward, backward, left, and right. You can also use hinge shims and rubber buffers to adjust its height, ensuring even gaps. 2. Hood Lock Control Mechanism Adjustment: Before adjusting the hood lock, ensure the hood is properly aligned. Then, loosen the fixing bolts and move the lock head forward, backward, left, or right to align it with the lock base. The front edge of the hood can also be adjusted by changing the height of the lock head's dovetail bolt.
