Glove Box PIN
You might want to think about adding a glove box PIN if your glove box contains any sensitive information, such as your USB drive for Sentry Mode. Every every time someone attempts to unlock the glove box, the PIN number will be necessary.
Do not forget that the glove box is not designed to serve as a safe. By gaining access to the side panel of the dashboard and manually disengaging the clasp, the glove box can be opened by hand. For the passenger side door to be unlocked and opened, access is necessary.
If you’ve forgotten your glovebox PIN, you may reset it by logging in with your Tesla credentials and then following the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: If you attempt to enter the glovebox when both the Glovebox PIN and Valet mode are activated, you will be asked for the Glovebox PIN and expelled from Valet mode.
NOTE: The glove box’s light eventually goes out if you leave it open.
NOTE: The glovebox locks whenever it is closed and the vehicle is locked using a key card, mobile app, or authorized phone (if WalkAway Door Lock is enabled) or while Valet mode is in use.
When Tesla is locked by tapping the lock symbol on the touchscreen, it does not lock.

Glove Box Refuses to Close
You may tell the trigger no longer springs back if your glove box won’t remain closed. By manually releasing the circular triggers on the left and right sides of the glove box and attempting to shut it, you can determine if this is the issue. If it continues to close, you probably have an issue and they need to be changed. The warranty of Tesla covers this particular component.
