Ctrl-Kick

No. Ctrl-Kick only opens your trunk when your phone is with you, close to the car. Without your phone, a kick does nothing.

Every Tesla that works with a phone key: all Model 3 and Model Y, plus the refreshed Model S and Model X (2021 and newer). Put Ctrl-Kick under the rear bumper to open the trunk, or under the front bumper to open the frunk. Want both? Get one for each bumper.

It sticks on under the bumper with automotive 3M tape. No drilling, no wiring and nothing to cut. It takes about 5 minutes, and it comes off cleanly if you sell the car. In the rear it can be installed behind the plastic trim for tow hitch making it completely sealed.

You pair it with your Tesla in the Ctrl app, the same way you add a phone key. It talks to the car over Tesla's own Bluetooth key system, so nothing is plugged into the car.

It's rechargeable over USB-C and lasts 8+ months per charge. It has its own battery and no wiring to the car, so it never drains your Tesla.

Yes. Ctrl-Kick is waterproof and built for life under a bumper: rain, snow, slush, road salt and car washes. We design and test it in Norway.

The radar looks for the motion of a kick right under the bumper, not people walking past. And even then, it only opens when your phone is nearby, so a stranger or a stray cat can't open your trunk.

Price and delivery dates are announced on launch day. The Early Bird price is only for people on this list and the first backers on Kickstarter, so join the list and we'll email it to you first. No payment now.
